You need to know what is happening in South Africa – and it’s terrible.
Xenophobia has forced over 10,000 Africans to flee the country, with Malawi, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya among the countries pulling their people out – many more just leaving.
This is driven by Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma whose movement “March and March” has given Africans until 30 June to leave or face the consequences.
Utterly appalling – especially when Africa gave sanctuary to so many South Africans during the Anti-Apartheid struggle.
Why is this happening? The reasons are complex, but come down to just one: poverty. Unemployment of young men and women is over 60%. Jobs are so rare many find them impossible to find.
So people fall back on the oldest excuse: “its the foreigners who are taking our work! Send them home, or they die!”
Since 2022 evidence that 148 Africans have been killed in South Africa during attacks on migrants — committed by either state forces, violent mobs, or unidentified perpetrators.

I think people need to ask AI how illegal foreigners affect an economy. Those people hiding behind xenophobic and genocidal comments are the ones probably benefiting from illegally not to mention apartheid will never die although other opressed people around the world have made something of themselves. It’s a disgrace that South Africans can’t move forward with their lives.
