"SA ๐ฟ๐ฆ can't hold All Africans ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ช..." SA governmentAdded:
So, Miss Alicia by the news from Africa, they say that there's no war in SADC that could justify people flocking into South Africa. She says the first country of safety principle must be applied. She says SA could not be a center where everyone flocks to.
So, that is a South African government spokesperson and she's talking though.
She's saying that well, you've been hearing a lot of African countries calling South Africa as xenophobic.
Others are saying that there have been xenophobic attacks happening recently and they're also issuing advice to their citizens to be vigilant and to be careful on the streets of South Africa.
When they are going on by their daily activities in the country. Well, she's saying that why is South Africa heard the burden of all African countries though?
There's a lot of countries around South Africa or around the SADC that are not having any issues of wars or famine or any critical issues like that. But, these people are still seeking asylum in South Africa.
And she is saying that that is not the case. South African laws will actually protect their borders and there's nothing anyone or any African country can dictate them to do. That's a bold statement right here. Hopefully, they actually follow through. And actually, I'm one person that respects the laws.
If that is a law if this is what the laws of South Africa says, everyone should actually abide by the laws too.
If that's She's saying that most of the things that African leaders are crying about are illegal. So, I actually trust her to do their jobs and also to protect the South African borders as well.
Well, this one came in and says uh suddenly, you all remember that there's no war now that election are approaching. Well, yeah. Heading to election year, you're going to see your leaders turning sensible people.
Minister, they've been so They have been so mum the whole time. Soon, they will want to claim this revolution. They have been calling us vigilantes. We are not babysitting the whole continent. Well, South African government, this is for you though. Your people feel like you have been so quiet for long and now you're just chipping in. Don't claim the glory when these things are done. Good.
Minister, we have heard this a million times. Enough talk. Tell SADC persons to secure their borders. Terminate all asylum refugee or work permits. Deport every illegal including documented uh in economic immigrants. keep only critical skills and real investors at home B.
Wow, now you want everything documented illegal legal immigrants out unless real critical skills and real investors are left in the country.
Now, this is getting this this is getting different, right?
Okay.
My say human rights commission and other NPOs will fight you for stealing their bread and butter. They get sponsorship for that.
Well, well, yeah. Ramaphosa said South African leaders need to stop making excuses and confront the ugly reality.
Targeting fellow Africans with xenophobia and anti-foreign rhetoric is both morally indefensible and dangerous for Pan-African unity. Instead of blaming victims or downplaying the crisis the crisis, South Africa must address the violence head on and ensure real consequences for those who harm other nationals. Well, these are all various takes and views from Africans and South Africans concerning the issues or the warning or the stance of South African government. You've been watching that you've been an African or South African watching this.
What's your take What's your take and what's your point of view about this too? Thank you.
