Nigeria Is Retaliating Against The Xenophobia In S.A

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]A series of anti-immigrant protests in  recent weeks across South Africa along with the attacks against other black Africans  have prompted Nigeria and Ghana to voice concern.

[00:00:21]In fresh demonstrations on Wednesdays,  hundreds of people marched in the eastern city of Burban and other cities to demand  that the government take actions against undocumented immigrants operating businesses such  as small shops. Demonstrations in previous months have also seek to deny undocumented foreigners  access to South African clinics and hospitals.

[00:00:48]Africans living in South Africa are closing  their shops because of the ongoing protest and their fear of harassment and looting.  Africans are living in fear and it does not seems like the South African government is  helping them. Look at these ordinary South African going into clinics and asking all the  black people to show their documentation. And if they don't have a documentation, these  people will ask them to leave. Nigeria has announced emergency repatriation flight  for its citizens living in South Africa and warn Ptoria on Monday that it was not doing  enough to temp down on anti-immigration threat.

[00:01:38]This Senate should move should adopt a position that MTN a South African company that is cutting  away millions of dollars from Nigeria every day that Nigerian nationalize it and withdraw  it lessons. Ugly developments have generated widespread diplomatic anxiety across the African  continent, prompting urgent engagements by several African states for the protection of their  nationals, including reported measures by Bosswana to close it border with South Africa  and facilitate safe return of its citizens.

[00:02:19]The South African government could and should  have addressed this problem better in trying to defend yourself by being called xenophobic is not  the answer. No one is calling all South African genophobic. There is no reason you can call these  behaviors freedom of speech and expressions.

[00:02:39]It's great and we would love if this right were  respected across the entire continent. However, what is happening in South Africa is not a freedom  of speech or expression. It's criminal activities.

[00:02:54]Look at these people out in the streets armed with  weapons looking for non-S South Africans. And what do you think they would do to the non South  African if they can find them? I believe there are law enforcement officers and immigration  law enforcement officers in South Africa.

[00:03:15]These law enforcement agency should enforce  immigration laws not a bunch of criminals. Every nations have its laws, rules and regulation that  must be followed. No one is denying that everyone should come in in the right way. No exception  whether you are African or not. As I stated in my previous video regarding this issue, we Africans  came to your rescue during your dark days.

[00:03:44]We provided your freedom fighters with a place to  to reside and train food and weapons so they could fight on your behalf and free you. We help you all  South African physically and financially. So slow down, think and be grateful for other Africans  here. Let's watch what Julius Malma had to say.

[00:04:09]are h in thinking. So h and these Africans  when you needed them they were there for you. The frontline states were there. People got  killed in Lisutu. People got killed in Muzzambi.

[00:04:24]people got killed in Switzerland in in in Botswana  because they were suspected to have been harboring the terrorist meaning your liberators your  liberation movements were alleged to have headquarters in those places someone says don't  tell us about Nigerians you even go to an extent of say Nigerians gave us money for our liberation  is true from their the civil servants of Nigeria monies were deducted racted from them to support  the liberation of South Africa. So today we are in a comfortable place. We say we don't want them.  The EFF agrees that we don't want undocumented people in South Africa. How can we say South  Africans must get IDs and then welcome people who are not undocumented. Everybody has to be  documented so that if any wrongdoing happens for whatever reason we're looking for you, we  need to find your location. So we need to find a way. They are here already. You go and put them in  Lindella with our state money which you are saying it's supposed to buy medicine. We pay buses. We  take them back. They come back the following day, not next week. So what would be your solution  as the solution is let's go and document these people. So don't deport them rather find a way  to formalize you need to document them because whether you like it or not my brother they  are here you know what they do in December they hand themselves over in Lindella so that  they can go and eat Christmas at home and then in January they my South Africans brothers and  sisters please listen to Julius Malima once again telling you the truth they are scared  of white people look at them when they speak to a white person they are very respectful. They  show manners. When they speak to a black person, they are violent. But let's ask a question. After  you marched and say you don't want Zimbabweans, you don't want Nigerians, you don't want Ghanians,  you close shops, you march. Why are you not coming back to tell us the following day that after that  march we expelled 10 Zimbabweans and out of those 10 Zimbabweans were able to give 10 South Africans  jobs? There is no such a report. Why? Because because those are slaves jobs, they don't pay  anything. You want proper jobs. You want a job with a pay slip, with an appointment  letter, with pension, with medical aid, and you deserve it. But why are we fighting  each other? It is the same people who made us fight each other during apartate. Black on  black violence. They sponsored it. The same provinces where blacks were killing  blacks during apartheid sponsored by apartheid government is the same provinces  where blacks are beating blacks. Today the script is the same. The writer of the  script is the same. Why do you ask me South African?

[00:07:59]Proud father after removing a black child from  school when the black children were removed from school with bullets in 1976 when our parents were  removed from school because they did not have school fees. I must play that role. me. I will  never do it. I'm not going to take a pregnant woman out of a clinic because she's not South  African. She gives birth of an African child at the gate and that child dies. And he want me to do  that and be proud and look at my children and say, "I'm a proud father after I stopped life, after  I killed someone. I will not do that. I did not join politics to be voted for. I was too young  when I joined politics. This positions that I have came as a result of my participation.  I am not in politics to be elected. I'm in politics to articulate a position of African  people who have been oppressed for too long.

[00:09:14]We are not saying any Zimbabwe, Nigerian,  Ghanian must bring crime here. The same way no South African must bring crime here.  This is it for the video. Thank you for watching.
