jaxxy:We don't have a problem with people from other countries, we are just tired of them commiting crimes. Those not commiting crimes are employed because they take far less salaries. We fought against apartheid so that we get can living wages now these people are undermining that. And then they will tell us we are lazy because we don't take slave wages SA economy is far more advanced than others in Africa. You cant sit in Lagos in dusty flip flops and act like an expert on SA socio-economic realities. We won't sell casava on our heads in an economy that manufacturers Mercedes. Please sit down. |

June 30: Army Not Deployed For Deadline To Push Illegal Migrants Out of SA VIDEO: June 30 "deadline" for undocumented foreign nationals to leave SA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcNRpZUPHbc?si=q7pgsdG1Z_Wqi9-j JUNE 30 DEADLINE The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has dismissed claims that soldiers will be deployed ahead of planned protest action linked to the June 30 "deadline" for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa, while police say they remain on high alert for any violence, intimidation, or acts of vigilantism. The June 30 date has gained traction on social media and in public mobilisation campaigns across the country, following a wave of protests by movements calling for the removal or repatriation of undocumented foreign nationals. In recent weeks, the campaign has spread across communities and provinces, with posters, videos, and public statements circulating widely online and fuelling fears of possible unrest. SA DEFENCE FORCE However, the SANDF has denied reports suggesting that soldiers were being prepared for deployment in anticipation of protest action on June 30. "The South African National Defence Force has noted with concern misleading reports on social media suggesting that the SANDF will be deployed in anticipation of planned marches and protest action on June 30, 2026, by various civil society groups calling for the repatriation of illegal nationals," the SANDF said. "The SANDF dismisses these claims as false, unfounded, and deliberately misleading. At no stage has the SANDF issued any directive or made preparations for deployment in relation to these activities." The defence force said while the Constitution allowed for peaceful protest, the spread of unverified claims risked creating unnecessary public panic. "The SANDF appreciates that the Constitution of the Republic allows peaceful protest marches. The SANDF distances itself entirely from these claims and cautions against the dissemination of unverified information that undermines public trust and creates unnecessary alarm." PROTEST LEADERS The denial comes as March and March, one of the movements at the centre of the anti-undocumented immigration campaign, has continued to attract public attention over its position on the June 30 date. At a media briefing earlier this week, March and March founder Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma said the movement supported the broader concerns being raised, but denied that it had set the deadline. "We are a team, and we support each other in the same ideology. We as March and March did not issue the June 30 deadline," Ngobese-Zuma said. According to Ngobese-Zuma, the date was issued by others who shared the same ideology. SA POLICE SERVICE National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure, known as NATJOINTS, was aware of and monitoring public mobilisation and campaigns linked to illegal immigration, including activities being promoted ahead of June 30. "SAPS respects the constitutional right of individuals and organisations to express themselves and to protest lawfully and peacefully," Mathe said. She said police were assessing possible risks to public safety, public order, and community stability. "As with any planned mobilisation or public gathering, SAPS (SA Police Service)continuously assesses potential risks to public safety, public order, and community stability. Law enforcement remains alert to any incidents or actions that may lead to violence, intimidation, incitement, destruction of property, or the targeting of individuals or groups." Mathe said the SAPS Public Order Policing units, Crime Intelligence, and other operational environments, through NATJOINTS, remained on high alert nationally to ensure that any gatherings stayed within the law. "SAPS will act decisively against any acts of vigilantism, criminality, threats, assault, malicious damage to property, or conduct that undermines the rule of law and the constitutional rights of others, irrespective of nationality." She said issues relating to undocumented foreign nationals remained the responsibility of law enforcement agencies and the Department of Home Affairs, and had to be dealt with through lawful processes. "SAPS calls on all communities, organisations, and stakeholders to act responsibly and to refrain from taking the law into their own hands," Mathe said. "The police appeal for calm, tolerance, and compliance with the law, and warn that anyone found committing criminal acts under the guise of activism or community action will face the full might of the law."

seppuku:You're free to leave the country if we're violent and dul.lar.ds. Done going in circles with you. Shalom, Morpheus. |
seppuku:Most South Africans don't support violence, hence you've been able to stay illegally in SA for decades - commiting crimes and insulting us without any consequences. |
seppuku:Oh well, I tried to be mature about this but clearly you're the bloodthirsty one. Like you said these tensions have lingered for decades and I wonder how you guys "firing back" would resolve the situation instead of making it worse for more decades to come or ending up in all out conflict. This is why other countries conduct mass deportations, to avoid such things where undocumented outsiders end up feeling entitled to stay in your country. |
seppuku:It's a standoff you'll never win on SA soil, forget about that. Best solution is repatriations of undocumented people, proper border protection and a solid system for people in SA legally and with good intentions. |
seppuku:I stated a fact - protestors said things will get worse on June 30. |
TheStoriesOfMan:It's only gonna get worse - June 30 is the protesters' deadline for all undocumented immigrants to leave SA. |
Baptish:I'm gonna create a thread with South Africans response BASHING Ghana and Africa - the HOMOPHOBES. But XENOPHOBIA is your main focus. See hypocrisy. See hate. |
Titopeblog:We used to love Ghana before, not anymore as South Africans. Homophobes crying about Xenophobia. I suspect you're gonna kick out SA businesses when you're done with the repatriations but there's always new and better markets for SA. SA will always thump you so please test our limits. Tell your noisy neighbors as well. |
SA REVENUE SERVICE The South African Revenue Service (SARS) said claims by a hacktivist group that its systems have been breached were false and unsubstantiated. Over the weekend, a group calling itself Nullsec Nigeria said it breached SARS and the South African Information Technology Agency (SITA). SITA denied that it had been breached on Sunday. SARS issued a statement on Monday denying that any foreign threat actors compromised its systems. “SARS continuously monitors its systems for any suspicious activity and has conducted a thorough investigation in response to these reports,” it said. “At this stage, there is no evidence that SARS’s systems have been compromised. SARS wishes to reassure the public regarding the integrity of its systems.” The revenue service said it treated the protection of taxpayer information and the security of its digital platforms as sacrosanct and considers them core responsibilities. “This dovetails with SARS’s broader commitment to build a smart, modern institution with unquestionable integrity, and to strengthen public trust and confidence in the tax administration system,” it said. “SARS will continue to monitor its digital environment and, where necessary, will communicate through its official platforms.” NULLSEC CLAIMS On 23 May 2026, Nullsec Nigeria, which previously operated under the name Anonymous Nigeria, posted links on a hacker forum to allegedly compromised data from two South African organisations. It claimed the SARS data included names, email addresses and passwords used on official websites. The SITA link allegedly contained names, passwords, and the platforms used to access SITA services. MyBroadband reported on Sunday that the breach did not appear to be legitimate after a South African cybersecurity researcher analysed the data. “In my opinion, there is not enough information to confirm the SARS and SITA breach claims are real,” they said. Nullsec Nigeria told MyBroadband via the encrypted messaging service Session that the breaches were real and that it would not leak information belonging to South African citizens. “They’ll deny it or find a way to fix the problem so fast it makes us look like fools. That data is the real data,” they said. “All the documents which were from the hacks are based on ignorance of proper security. The government of South Africa must know those cheap games ain’t a game anymore.” MyBroadband could not independently verify the breaches due to insufficient evidence from the Nigerian group. SA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AGENCY SITA head of corporate affairs, Tlali Tlali, said the organisation’s ICT infrastructure had not been compromised and that its systems were fully intact. Tlali explained that SITA’s security teams operate 24/7 and are equipped with monitoring and threat-detection capabilities. “All systems have been tested and verified as fully operational, and no anomalies indicative of a cyberattack have been identified,” the organisation said. SITA, which operates the South African government’s digital infrastructure, said that only one significant government organisation’s website was down at the time of its feedback to MyBroadband. SA POLICE SERVICE This was the website of the South African Police Service (SAPS), which we verified was inaccessible at various times on Saturday, 23 May, and Sunday, 24 May. “We wish to clarify that the downtime of a website of that department is the direct result of a scheduled and planned maintenance window,” Tlali said. Users visiting the SAPS website received a message that it was unreachable. Nullsec Nigeria posted that the site was “tango down” on its Telegram channel, leading to assumptions that it had attacked the site. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES Last week, Nullsec Nigeria also claimed responsibility for breaching systems belonging to the Department of Correctional Services and posted links to alleged exfiltrated data. At the time, the group said the hacks were part of a coordinated effort by multiple threat actor groups in a campaign dubbed #OpSouthAfrica. The campaign aimed to attack South African government organisations amid the increased incidence of xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals in South Africa, including Nigerians. “We’ll expose all your evil deeds for the world to see, unless this attack stops. But if not, we’ll leak everything they got,” the group said. nlfpmod

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtbJDNbnnuI?si=WC6If-F2Av9VTc2k Ghanaian nationals queued at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport early on Wednesday to board one of the first flights home after waves of anti-immigrant protests in South Africa heightened safety concerns. The group of 300 people included women and children, in what authorities described as a voluntary repatriation process for Ghanaian citizens who say they no longer feel safe. South African authorities have been working with Ghanaian authorities on a list of around 800 people who have indicated they want to leave. A South African immigration official, who was not identified on screen, told local television station eNCA: "What we found is that of the 300 (on the first flight), only 10 of them are legal in the country, so quite a number of them are in non-compliance to our immigration act." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtOiDtaC_AE?si=ChSC68LcS2vdC_jW The repatriation followed a wave of anti-immigration protests in recent weeks, with campaigners demanding tighter controls on what they described as undocumented migrants, and accusing foreigners of contributing to crime and unemployment. The protests have been accompanied by instances of violence against migrants from other sub-Saharan African countries. One Ghanaian preparing to leave said repeated harassment had driven the decision. "I'm happy that I'm going to my country ... it's not easy to be in someone else's country and be disturbed all the time," he said, declining to give his name. Migrant rights groups say they are being scapegoated by South Africans who blame them for the country's economic problems, namely high unemployment which hovers at over 30% and disproportionately affects the black population. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3k54F9X8hg?si=iEFCE_-hFysloKu7 Ghana's High Commissioner to South Africa, Benjamin Quashie, said the departures were part of efforts to ease tensions while preserving strong diplomatic ties between the two countries. "The demonstrators have said they want us to work together. We must ensure that those who are undocumented are returned home and that institutions are allowed to function," Quashie said, dismissing speculation of a diplomatic rift with South Africa.

Elsewhere in SA... On May 21, one Ghanaian man went viral for being the only one to pitch at the airport for Ghana's repatriation flight. Ghanain government later said the flight has been delayed for several days for logistics and administrative reasons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU_m1X8F_nw?si=ypiZHpztqKp0Xc0t Ghana said Thursday it has delayed the evacuation of more than 800 of its citizens from South Africa after a viral video showing the alleged assault of a Ghanaian man triggered outrage. The footage showing the attack on Emmanuel Asamoah, a Ghanaian living in South Africa, circulated widely on social media during the latest wave of xenophobic violence targeting foreign nationals in the country. The Ghanaian foreign ministry said earlier this month that it was evacuating citizens from South Africa as a result. Some 800 Ghanaians were to be evacuated starting Thursday, but the process was delayed because of the large numbers of evacuees and legal clearance procedures required by South Africa, the ministry said. "Considering the numbers involved and the South African legal conditions that have to be met, including mandatory passenger screening, multi-institutional coordination and flight permits, the planned evacuation has been deferred by a few days,” the ministry said. It said that Ghanaian and South African authorities had agreed to accelerate the process. Only one Ghanaian showed up at South Africa’s O.R. Tambo international airport on Thursday, AFP journalists at the airport reported. Viral video: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxDPJmW9/ The Ghana government has promised to give those it is evacuating from South Africa a re-integration financial package and psycho-social support. The latest tensions have revived uncomfortable debates across Africa about xenophobia, migration, and the gap between pan-African rhetoric and realities facing African migrants on the continent. Ghana has increasingly pushed for the issue to receive broader continental attention and has tabled concerns around xenophobic violence within African Union discussions, arguing that recurring attacks threaten African integration and free movement ambitions under frameworks such as the African Continental Free Trade Area. Asamoah, the man in the viral video, has since returned safely to Ghana. nlfpmod
