Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]I greet you now, my country people. So, today we will talk about this xenophobia when they happen for South Africa.

[00:00:09]So, the headline says, "African immigrants in South Africa stood their ground against a group of xenophobic South Africans who tried to mob mob them.

[00:00:23]Once the immigrants united, the crowd backed off."

[00:00:31]Me and the headline say one of the leaders they don't go kill kill him for house.

[00:00:37]One of these xenophobic uh xenophobic leaders for South Africa they don't go kill him after after he go he go one they they call him uh a Somalia people then they will come visit him in the night.

[00:00:51]As they talk now now that man don't leave before these Somalia people will come up for their country. And now he won't leave when he leave then now forever.

[00:00:59]You see that? Now, let me play you some of the videos.

[00:01:03]I'm here because this is this is so painful and and and people have passed away waiting for justice for Senzo Meyiwa. He was a national hero and he was our goalkeeper national goalkeeper and it is so painful that a public figure and a a significant person in this country just get killed and and no justice is served and nobody is arrested and we are just taken to pillar to post from pillar to post. Um it it it looks like powerful people are involved in this thing. That's why they they they they they close up for these cases but we are not seeing that. And just lastly, we are here at the Union Buildings. What's your call on the president and especially the Department of Justice and Correctional Services as well?

[00:01:51]Um the president must pay attention to the South African issues and things that are concerning the the African community. He must not worry too much about what other countries um view us as because now we see that all the leaders are paying attention to uh what other countries are saying about South Africa whilst we are the voters, we are the ones who are always putting them up there in the position. So, we are going to change the narrative and the narrative is not normally um sorry, it's not going to be for um uh uh politicians only. Public must have the the narrative of South Africa.

[00:03:18]We want this to go on record. We can stand up. The reason why we did not mobilize enough people to come here is because we are showing you that we are not fighting.

[00:03:28]We have 5,000 people ready to storm this embassy.

[00:03:32]We have 5,000 people ready. Police can't contain us. The police they don't have resources and they don't have manpower to contain South African. We are quiet because we respect these men and women that are working for our government. We respect you as an ambassador. Please tell your people to respect [clears throat] us And please, all illegal Somalis that are here in the country, we will visit all embassies. All you It is your job take them out of the country, send them back home because they are wasting time. Otherwise, what are you doing here?

[00:05:49]Fight!
