If you don't work for peanuts, tell your government to provide jobs that pays in millions for you or are you telling me that the whites over there pay what the SA labour specified?

Even a maid in SA gets paid a living wage. If you're undocumented you have to settle for slave wages. And that means that brother of yours who is hiring undocumented migrants is breaking both SA migration and labour laws.

IronGalaxy:
I saw a video of those bandits eating a whole human being the other day... but Nigerians are so concerned why South Africans do in South African

Clearly 'zenofombia' is more concerning than being eaten alive.

Lionessza6:
LMAO 😂😂😂

From the same Nigerian YouTube channel.
Now we've upgraded the script.
At this rate, next week's episode will feature a foreign spaza shop employing more people than the entire JSE. 😂😂😂 or maybe a video of SA nurses crying for more foreign patients since hospitals are now a little bit more quiet?

Propagandists hard at work, I tell you. Jihadists and bandits news postponed til further notice.

Anyone familiar with SA will know he's lying. Those mini shops or Nigerians in general don't hire South Africans. They hire their own, Zimbabweans or Malawians cause they can't afford SA labour - we don't work for peanuts.

They'll approach him on June 30 to produce those 25 South African labourers - we'll see then.

dogo568:
So why are you people chasing even the ones with documents

That's the part that has gotten out of hand and government has warned people against it or for even stopping people in the streets they believe are undocumented. They say that's police work. People should instead be reporting those they believe are undocumented.

dogo568:
But why are you people xenophobic bros

Most South Africans are not xenophobic, just frustrated with the lawlessness and crime eminating from illegal migration. The hateful South Africans are the ones assaulting people - they're a minority though.

But through time government has shown it only responds to violence or intimidation (even with service delivery issues) so that's the approach protestors naturally take.

On normal days we live peacefully with good foreign nationals.

dogo568:
Close ypur mouth. Your people are lazy. Very lazy. Lemme see how you people will survive without the rest of Africa

🗑️🚮

You don't know your worth. Who's chopin' all your oil wealth in Nigeria - it's definitely not you.

SA politicians know SA resources belong to all South Africans, not Tinubu & co.

Mynd44:
That guy's ignorance is not exclusive to South Africans. There are a lot of Nigerians that have the same weird mentality that their government can give each person a particar amount forever.

It's the sort of stuff Malema has been suggesting in SA as well. I know ANC is busy mulling over a basic income grant in SA.

Worth a discussion though coz we live in a mineral rich continent where a lot of money is lost through corruption and mismanagement.

This is probably fake news - but for argument's sake, don't Middle East and Scandinavian countries compensate their citizens? SA is also a mineral rich country, so why not? Are those other Arab and white countries also lazy? Citizens of an oil rich corn-try who don't know their worth will come here and talk 🗑️🚮

Pierocash:
Can you now see that the xenophobic attack is government sponsored. I kept saying that , the government of south Africa is sponsoring their citizens to attack other black Africans and pretend like they know nothing about it. You can hear him saying "they must go".

South Africa will pay for their sins and evil against their fellow black Africans , either now or later, but anytime soon.

SA government is made up of several parties. Gayton's party (Patriotic Alliance) is notoriously anti-migration. Have you heard other parties speak like this?

South African Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture - Gayton McKenzie - says he feels "insulted" that Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi talked publicly about artists’ plight without first consulting him.

McKenzie was reacting to Kubayi’s warning at Sunday’s Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration media briefing that continued tensions around migration were beginning to have economic consequences, revealing that at least one local artist had all her performances across Africa cancelled.

“The majority of South African artists perform on the continent, and many of them are seeing their gigs being cancelled. That's another impact, because they benefit quite a lot, they perform at live performance events and everything.

“We can’t lie about it, the backlash,” Kubayi said. “One artist reached out to me to say all her gigs on the continent had been cancelled. This is an income loss for a South African.”

She said the creative sector was particularly vulnerable, as many South African artists rely on live performances across the continent for their income.

“I find it very insulting that Minister Kubayi can talk about the plight of artists to the public without talking to me first" tweeted Gayton McKenzie.

“I know nothing about SA artist gigs being cancelled. We can’t be held hostage because of gigs, Abahambe (they must go)”.

McKenzie has repeatedly come under fire for not caring about the Arts and Culture part of his department after he slashed funding for key arts festivals.

He came out defending himself, saying that festival organisers cannot expect to grow old with the government as their "mother and father and your everything" forever.

"What about the new promoters? We are opening up the industry. Luckily for me I don't care what they write about me. That's why they cannot shame me into writing about me. I thrive from bad news," he said.

He is currently facing criticism after DA MP Leah Potgieter recently raised alarm, stating the FIFA trip could amount to a R19.2 million expenditure.

McKenzie has vigorously defended the inclusion of 20 fans and 20 artists on the trip to watch the World Cup, explaining that sport and music go hand in hand.

Malawi seeks donations to evacuate 10 000 citizens from South Africa

The Malawi government has launched an appeal for financial and logistical support to help repatriate an estimated 10 000 Malawian nationals affected by violence targeting foreign nationals in parts of South Africa.

In a statement issued by the Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA), authorities said the scale of the ongoing repatriation exercise has placed unprecedented financial, logistical and humanitarian demands on the government.

I hope SA foreign minister Ronald Lamola is taking notes for the fightback at the AU Summit. They celebrate with criminals hence they label you xenophobic when you deal with illegal migration.

This is the same Bianca who said retaliation against SA is not off the table.

The bolded just finished me...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, nairaland is fun, each time I think of leaving, something just keeps pulling be back, I don't even care about the dragging...🤣🤣🤣🤣

IronGalaxy:
My guy, I just don't take you seriously...im sorry..

Only less than 3000 migrants have been repatriated according to official stats but already the "taxi industry is collapsing" according to Nigerian propagandists.

I'd say the South African Jersey is very neat. It has very precise tailoring. It's well made but I think for Artistic expression Argentina has the best design it like what we have never seen before. I'm a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.

wiseone28:
Always ungrateful lots *spit*

Audio $61B - that's why I said provide SA with the receipts.

It's like you're trying to convince yourself that successive Nigerian govts haven't been "fantastically corrupt". Where are all the audio projects that never materialise but are paid for?

MarketDispatch:
South Africa should refund the $61 billion dollars Nigerian Government spent on South Africa. Money that should have been used to create jobs for Nigerians, Nigerian Government spent it to liberate South Africa, now they are ungrateful.

Nigerians would not have been going to South Africa if the $61 billion dollars was used for Nigerians

Kindly tell Tinubu to supply proof of the $61B and then invoice SA.

Sunshine34:
The white developed SOUTH AFRICA, Now the blacks are flexing muscle as if they are the one that developed that country, do not worry bro, @ironGalaxy and you will soon be served.

And now you're locked out. Your turn to develop Nigeria - unfortunately we can't help coz we're slaves and lazy

IronGalaxy:
ouch. 😬

The thread invited us to share great designs, what's his problem? He's triggered by SA awesomeness.

What is SA version of Nairaland?

YOUTH DAY🇿🇦 & INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD🌍

The day of 16 June 1976 began peacefully in Soweto. Student leaders at high schools across the sprawling Johannesburg township, to which the apartheid regime had exiled hundreds of thousands of black South Africans, took charge of the morning assemblies. They led their fellow students into the streets and began to march toward Orlando stadium.

The students were protesting against the government’s imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction. Their teachers barely spoke the white minority language and the students did not want to learn the oppressor’s language. They were tired of the intentionally substandard Bantu education, tired of being second-class citizens.

By the end of the day, dozens would be dead.

The mood of the young protesters started off joyous, people who marched that winter day remembered. They sang struggle anthems, including Senzeni Na?, which asks in Xhosa: “What have we done [to deserve this]?”

“Our worst-case scenario, of course, was that they were going to throw cans and cans of teargas at us,” said Sibongile Mkhabela, then an 18-year-old pupil at Naledi high school and one of the march organisers.

As the children moved east, more schools joined. By the time the first group reached Orlando West, where Nelson Mandela had lived before he was imprisoned on Robben Island, the students numbered in their thousands.

They faced a wall of police. The police had a loudhailer, said Oupa Moloto, then a 19-year-old pupil at Morris Isaacson high school. But none of the students could hear what was being said.

Accounts of what happened next differ. Some say a white police officer threw a teargas canister into the crowd. Moloto remembered police dogs being released to attack marchers. “Now, women students were panicking and then we took stones to retaliate,” he said. “And then the firing started.”

Moloto thought it was fireworks at first. Then he saw that a boy next to him had been shot: “I was surprised when I saw this bleeding, that these guys are really shooting.”

He did not know what happened to the boy in the pandemonium that followed. “Helicopters were hovering over, shooting teargas from up in the sky. Students were panicking, running in different directions,” Moloto said.

Among the first to die were 15-year-old Hastings Ndlovu and 12-year-old Hector Pieterson. The photograph taken by the local journalist Sam Nzima of Mbuyisa Makhubo carrying Hector’s limp, bloodied body, Hector’s sister Antoinette running beside them, face twisted in anguish, became the day’s defining image.

The number of people killed that day, which became known as the Soweto uprising, has never been definitively confirmed. The official figure was 23, but some estimates put the death toll at more than 200, according to South African History Online, a respected resource.

The unrest spread to other townships. Government institutions were looted and burned. The police continued to fire. A regime report in 1980 concluded that 575 people died in the months after the start of the uprising. “By the end of 1976, the entire apartheid system was on trial,” said Mkhabela, who now runs an NGO.

The uprising created a new generation of anti-apartheid activists, reviving a struggle that had faltered after Mandela and other African National Congress leaders were given life sentences in 1964. Thousands of students fled South Africa to join uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the armed wing of the ANC in exile.

This baddie has been ranked amongst the best 🇿🇦🔥🔥🔥

BennyDGreat:
The reason you take this position is because you aren't the artist affected. Someone's livelihood has been negatively affected and you don't care. That's insensitive.

Our lives and livelihoods are also affected by rampant crime. Also, for decades we fought for living wages (like most upper middle income countries) and undocumented migrants undermine that by accepting slave wages.

BennyDGreat:

If illegal migration is to be handled, let the government do it, not harassing and attacking people.

I actually agree, and so do most South Africans. The SA govt is equally to blame for the frustrations - and the pressure has been boiling for decades. The govt is only finally taking action because the country is revolting. It's a complex situation.

MORE BUSES EXPECTED IN DURBAN TO REPATRIATE MALAWIAN NATIONALS


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnmktkIe54A?si=33Mcs_OVgicbFZd2

ALL MALAWIANS VERIED SO FAR FOUND TO BE IN SA ILLEGALLY

The first 1140 Malawian nationals processed at a repatriation site in Durban were found to be in the country illegally, Deputy Home Affairs Minister Njabulo Nzuza said on Sunday, as authorities stepped up efforts to return thousands of foreign nationals to Malawi.

"Of those that have been verified, they are all illegal," Nzuza said.

The verification process is continuing and officials are conducting biometric checks against government databases to determine whether any of those being processed are linked to criminal matters.

Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber said 2745 repatriations had been carried out since President Cyril Ramaphosa's address on migration and illegal immigration on 7 June, although he cautioned that the figure continued to change as processing and removals continued.

The South African government will require more than 1,000 buses to facilitate the repatriation over 7,000 Malawian nationals currently stranded in Sherwood, Durban, chairperson of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration (IMC) Mmamoloko Kubayi announced on Sunday.

The repatriation effort follows escalating protests demanding illegal immigrants leave the country by June 30.

The recent spate of unrest, driven by civic groups like March and March and others, has propelled the government into action.

At a Sunday media briefing in Pretoria, Kubayi said the repatriation process for the estimated 7,000 Malawians in Sherwood Park must be expedited, highlighting that their numbers have surged recently.

"We are committed to ensuring the safe return of our citizens. Our transport requirements have drastically increased, and more than 1,000 buses are essential to facilitate this effort efficiently," Kubayi stated.

Regarding the Malawian citizens at Sherwood, Kubayi revealed that the Malawian government has commissioned eight buses that will start moving their citizens today. To expedite the repatriation process, the South African government will support the effort with 10 additional buses for the deportation of some Malawian nationals.

"So far, 980 Malawians have been deported from Lindela on 10 June as part of a crackdown. Going forward, the re-establishment of a court at Lindela will ensure that deportation from Lindela centre will be expedited," she added.

During her address, Kubayi also unveiled alarming statistics surrounding illegal immigration, with law enforcement agencies having made over 40,000 arrests since the beginning of the year. This includes an impressive tally of 7,400 arrests in the past month alone, all in relation to violations of the Immigration Act.

"There is a belief that the government is wilfully ignoring illegal immigration; however, this is far from the truth," Kubayi asserted.

"Our operational efforts have not only been ongoing but also intensifying across various regions. For example, in recent weeks alone, 143 arrests have been made for not only illegal entry but also for inciting violence during the protests."

TheStoriesOfMan:
Really? Is that what you have to say?

I expected more strong propaganda. Guy you fall my hand oooo.

We're done explaining ourselves. We're finally cleaning house after decades of backing down to blackmail from countries that won't accept they're flooding more successful countries due to their own mismanagement.

UK brexited and they're doing better than ever before. There are better trading partners outside of Africa.

Sunshine34:
No problem, dey your dey and I dey my dey, but una go cry blood soon, believe me.

We won't be blackmailed into accepting illegal migrants and criminals. We've had enough. Do your worst.

Randdigital, over to you.

It's not the first time. Rather they be cancelled than SA continue being a hub for illegal migration and criminality.
