A Facebook post captioned “Russia” went viral, with South Africans divided over the show of force on city streets.

Follow-up footage pointed to a possible crackdown on businesses employing undocumented workers, though this had not been confirmed at the time of publication.

The same way Future generations will wonder why all Countries are jailing or evicting “The SE People” for their excesses.

So they had these cars but preferred to wait till today before they brought them out.

Me I don't hate them
Nigeria don do Ghana must go before
These policies are right sometimes for some countries
Of course you can't understand such necessary steps.
I guess you're my fellow Nigerian with just different view

So we should not complain, go and read better about lots of countries that have done such and some such as America self are part of the recent

Sometimes hard choice to clean the country are strongest to make

We self suppose do Niger must go with all those illegal Niger people coming in from the north

"Private o"
Not State security
What a country.
Hope those security personnel are foreigners? If not, how were they willing to Sabotage the efforts of their fellow country people?
Foreigners should be wary of these "private security personnel". No one should be trusted in a country that wield gun like mallam wey dey sell kuli-kuli.

Illegal immigrant is a criminal offense

Nigerians, try dey learn how to be lawful

It's the best form of development

Make south Africa chase every single illegals out straight

Am A Nigerian, lawlessness don too full our DNA.
And at the same time we con too dey sentimentally emotional in wrong ways

We don suddenly forget Ghana must go now abi

Just as we often forget say Nigerian leaders no like Nigeria country but we go still dey vote and support incumbent failing leaders for second terms

Now south Africa dey improve and better but Nigerians and other Africans wan go spoil am illegally

Make Dem chase Dem out

Nigerians own xenophobia is worse than that of South Africa. The only difference is that South Africans can deal with their own perceived threat but in nigeria the perceived threat is really stronger than their valiants.

Dont be deceived, the SA military is out to enforce the operation "Send Them Back" more. All South Africans are same, from their government officials, to security personnel, their civil servants, traders, street urchins, students even down to their housewives. Xenophobia and violence run in all their blood.

tribal bigot. Pity yourself small

Lazy lots


Instead of going to work, they decide to hunt for their fellow Africans

All we need is peace that's all

South Africa is collapsing gradually

Where exactly are the South African parents or they all refused to do their responsibility?

Smh... Ramaphosa will go down as the WORST president to ever lead that confused nation.

Why don’t they attack the white minority controlling 90% of their resources? Oh, those ones have guns, yes? I honestly don’t care. The smart foreigners have gone. Do whatsoever you will with the dumb ones left behind.

If any BLACK foreigner is killed southafrican government will pay a very heavy price.

I no blame Sad Africans at all, no be some fuuls still dey kill themselves for SA in the name of cultism? Igbo people sef, shior

tell me more.... So during those period you were around to know how Nigeria treated the Ghanians, was shooting at individuals a part of the whole exercise? And we can still comfortably go to Ghana to stay till date and do business. . Enlighten me more because I still don't get it...

Even Zuma with a veracious appetite for fat women and filthy lucre is not as bad.

Truth is, his majority black citizens are not too sad with his position and body language on this.

Bro, god bless U. I have been saying the same thing since. We don supposed do Niger must go becus most of them are creating insecurity for us. Most of these Fulanis are coming from there. That we are cowards who can accept anything does not mean others countries should do same.

You'll hardly see SA military on the road or in the news. That's how it ought to be.

Here in Nigeria, military has taken over the jobs of police strolling around and parading in the streets like jobless people. If someone offends you, you can even call a military personnel to come over and beat that person. Nigeria military is. Nothing to write home about. The last time I traveled to Dubai and Russia i hardly saw their military in the streets.

Na dem
Money na water gang

blackmantis:

That's how it works in sane societies. Travel to Dubai, USA and other develop countries, you'll hardly see their military let alone in this type of trucks.

They only show up for serious situations like this. In America, military won't even show up. It is SWAT that'll show up! Military are for wars! In Nigeria military are begging for food inside markets
