This video examines South Africa's xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals, particularly Nigerians, and explores the complex debate surrounding immigration, economic burden, and African unity. The content reveals that while some South Africans argue that illegal migration creates economic burdens and security challenges, others emphasize that such attacks harm innocent people and undermine African solidarity. The video highlights how xenophobic sentiment can be exploited by political elements and demonstrates the tension between national sovereignty and continental cooperation, ultimately calling for more nuanced approaches to migration that address legitimate concerns while protecting vulnerable communities.

>> YOUR TIME IS UP IN our country.
>> You need to go back to your country.
Your time is up.
>> We want you out of our country.
>> We must go back to your countries.
>> People must come to our country legally and when they in the country, they need to respect our laws. So, we have got the problem now of illegal migration. We've got people who are undocumented, people who are roaming our streets. People when they commit crime, we can't even detect them because they are not documented.
The government is failing to address these issues. All nonskill jobs are are reserved for South Africans. So meaning anyone who is not a South African must not be working probably in a shop or in a restaurant or in a general working environment. Those jobs must be taken by South Africans.
>> Illegal foreigners are burden in our economy. Whenever they are working they go for um low wages. Whenever they do crime you cannot catch them because they are not being appraised. are not documented. We don't need people as such in our country or which you don't know where they come from, who they are.
That's those people are the people that we don't need in our country >> right now. But for this xenophobic attack, who was just >> who knew about her?
>> Mhm.
So I don't know whether she's actually the daughter of Jacob Zuma, >> but you can realize that this particular apple fell very very far away from the tree because >> and the F1 tree >> the F1 tree the impedance that she thinks she can even communicate to Ghana and >> Ghanaians are overreacting. It doesn't >> really seriously I found that speech very unfortunate.
So for me this is quite unusual of me but I think I also now back the calls that >> they can go to hell some sort and come back >> that particular mining company from South Africa they shouldn't have their license renewed >> really >> oh I I support that call >> irrespective of the contributions to our economy >> what what are they contributing is because they one of the African countries that get paid uh unemployment benefit allowance they just sit and drink and that's all that's all the work they do And now because the money for drinking is finished, they are going to take over somebody's business because the person came there struggle set up a business and his only crime is that he's not from South Africa.
>> So just people have the airree to go and say go back to Ghana.
>> We are taking over your business. If you like if we also breaking the law there, you can also take it. Good.
>> Uh your your your lease has expired at Ta.
>> So we are not renewing it for you. go back to South Africa and fix South Africa mines. You can also do your mining. There's gold in South Africa and they should go there and mine. Yes.
>> And DSTV and MTN should also get ready.
>> Oh, really?
>> Oh, yeah. Yes. No. You see, I listened to one Nigerian senator >> who said if we don't all add mad and there is a balance of madness, there will be no sanity.
>> Makes sense. Yeah. Because I remember a famous quote by Rollins who says, "If your opponent pulls a gun and you also pull a gun, at least now there's a stalemate. So you both put it down and negotiate."
>> Yeah.
>> So it looks as if we've tolerated it right from 208 2015. The worst was 208 and 2015 >> when they even killed people.
>> Yeah.
>> Yesterday one gentleman at the airport, >> you're showing his car and everything.
Yeah.
The truth of the matter is that we treating South Africa with kids love.
>> Yeah.
>> I think we should toughen up on them.
>> I think we've they've taken these things for granted.
>> It has become their way of life. Some few misguided political >> uh elements try to thrive on this, use it to launch themselves into national uh political positions using this attacks.
>> ARE YOU OKAY?
SOUTH AFRICANS ARE SCARED OF FEAR fear that good. Then the moment they heard that Nigerians who are living in South Africa are beginning to team up eh to you know defend themselves against whatever thing that these dudulas are match or match we bring upon them. The moment South Africa heard that they began to tremble they BEGAN oh my goodness we've been saying this all this time but people are just people are just thinking that we're just talking. said don't dare Nigerians but the truth of the matter is this it is highly unwise and highly irresponsible on the part of Nigerians uh to say they want to gather and fight host communities if at all the news is true because something with me simple star I will never team up with anybody to spread falsehood I will never team up with anybody to deceive people no no no no I won't do that you see in as much as we are telling South Africans that Punish the offenders of the laws of your country. Any Nigerian, anybody that that you know defy your laws, punish that person. But do not generalize. Do not loot people's shop. Do not intimidate.
Do not fight. Do not hurt anybody all in the name of fixing country. You create a situation where thugs in your country will go about looting people's hard end resources and you say you are fixing your country. That's demonic. That is what we're trying to tell South Africans. It's not like South Africans coming together to say no, we're not going to accept South Africa the way it is. It's not like it's a bad thing.
South Africans understand us. We Nigerians, we give you the kudos that good ones South Africans, you're doing what we can do because of tribalism, religion, political affiliation, all manners of inhumane and senseless considerations and affiliations.
Nigerians can't come together. Even if you want to form any political movement in Nigeria, before you know it, the government is already aware because you have Judas and betrayers in your midst.
Nigerians cannot be trusted. Even we, we don't trust ourselves. The truth of the matter is, I won't come online and lie to anyone. What is happening in South Africa right now is happening in Nigeria. South Africans are asking other Africans to leave their country.
Nigerians, the Egos, Egos are asking to leave their their region. House are asking Egos to leave their region.
Eurobans are asking Egos to leave their region. Eboss are asking robbers to leave their region. If Shakiris are asking robots to leave their region, IT'S LIKE THAT all over the country. So we should not come online and deceive anybody and if anybody's going to deceive anybody, I will not be party to that. It is highly unacceptable for any Nigerian community to gather and say they want to fight South Africa in South Africa. It is not done. Do you get it?
If you want to fight at all, come and fight your government back home. Me simple, I will not support any rubbish.
that I am speaking the truth to South Africa does not mean that I'm trying to shield Nigeria in any way that Nigeria is better that we are living or our country or Nigeria as a country is best or better than South Africa. No, that's not my but that's not my point. I'm just trying to tell South Africans that stop hurting innocent foreigners. Stop looting resources. Stop killing. If you want to fix South Africa your country, there are better ways to go about it.
not to release all the criminals in South Africa on the streets create a situation for them to be looting people's hard resources that is what I frown against do you understand but for any Nigerian to come online and you want to try to make it look like South Africans coming together to say no is a wrong thing that Nigeria is a demonic person you are not a good person what South Africans are doing is something that every African should applaud every African should applaud it because the truth of the matter is we keep running out of our country who will build it no these are some of questions we we have to start asking ourselves who will build it. It is my prayer that Europe should actually join South Africa to remove Nigerians from my own good side. Not because I'm wishing you bad. No, not at all. I'm just trying to let you know that you coming back to Nigeria. Eh, it it will make all of us team up together to fight our country. The truth of the matter is nobody's going to help us because we Nigerians are so filled up with Messiah syndrome. Nobody will help us. Nobody will help us.
>> Hello my brother, how are you doing?
Um I am happy that gradually people are getting to understand the operations going on in South Africa because I have seen a lady on your platform who has now come to understand the reasons why Jessa said Africa people are comfortable with the government and she did brought up the names like Cameroon Electuria and others that they are comfortable with their government because how come that a president like um Paul beia can rule since 82 at that time me I wasn't born since 82 my brother since 82 and this man is still ruling Cameroon and what exactly what exact benefit What is that essential development that Cameroonians are enjoying in Cameroon?
What exactly? But this Cameroonian, this same Cameroonian, they moving from their their Cameroon country to other countries to go and distract their peace especially when they go to Europe.
You understand?
It's not only happening in Cameroon.
Even Ghana, my country, look at how Ghanaians are flying on daily basis to comfortable zones, to comfortable places, to comfortable countries, especially Europe. If you go to America, UK, other European countries and then American countries and then Australia and Asia countries. Look at the number of Ghanaians flying to those places for for nothing but gina pastor for nothing else than gina pastor than good life they want to enjoy good life that's why they are there right but what what has happened to our own our own country Ghana so it's high time we have to hold our leader that this is why I keep supporting the Africans So my brother, this is why I keep supporting South Africa because they are doing it for our own good because why can't we hold our leaders?
They have fa us and they continue failing us but we cannot hold them for them to develop our places for us so that we can stay back and develop and and and continue development for our for ourselves. But we will be moving to other places and distract their peace and we are comfortable that a country like Ghana I don't know the kind of minerals that we don't have in Ghana but people in Ghana cannot enjoy from their own land the the resources that they having we can enjoy it yesterday I said it here that if you go on street on Ghana street. Look at the number of children who are selling peer waters and drinks and other food stuffs before they can eat. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but if you go to those advanced countries, you won't see their children on the streets hustling or doing walking.
But we are seeing all these things in Ghana. And we are comfortable with it because we lack knowledge. We we we we like developmental knowledge. So we don't see it as a wrong thing. We don't see anything wrong with it. But we are busy and we have energy and we have every power and every strength to fight South Africans while South Africans they are want they they are wanting their their country to to be even more developed.
Okay. So this is what I have seen that now people are coming to understand the reasons why Jinta and her group they are telling other African nationals that we are comfortable with our weak and failed leaders.
Okay, we are failed. We are weak and we cannot hold our leaders but we have mouth to talk when we visit other places. Is this not a shame?
If you see uh some some Ghanaians on social media, if you see a fier you see Kevin Taylor and other people the way they are they they having energy to speak against Jinte and and her group is very shinful that we are even doing those things to um Jinta and her group instead of us to channel this energy to our leaders so that this disgrace will not continue. But we are busy attacking people unnecessary.
So my brother I'm happy that gradually Africans themselves they are coming to their senses to understand that the operations that going on South Africa is for our own good because now Ghanaians in that Ghana those Ghanaians who have repatriated to Ghana I am still looking ahead that our money our resource money taxpayers money they'll be using not they'll be using them on on them they have to benefit from their own soil Okay. Yeah. So, this is why I will keep supporting what South Africans are doing because they helping us.
Okay.
Uh my brother, I greet you. I believe you are doing well. Uh for me I am not here to drag any issue with anybody on this platform but I've I've heard my brother go down reply to the comment that I gave about Jinta and MMA.
You see what my brother didn't get is that have we I want to ask you a question.
Have we seen or do we have any evidence of a Ghanaian being killed in South Africa by South Africans?
I want to ask him, have we seen or do we have any evidence of Ghanaian killed in South Africa by South Africans?
Even those allegations that is going on in South Africa that the South Africans are killing people.
Have we even the Nigerians have we seen or do we have any any name any record that that claims that this Nigeria guy is killed in South Africa by South Africa? Do we have it? All those allegations going on South Africa they all fake fake allegations.
So if I say that what MMA and said was Ghanaian are not their main target.
Ghanaians are not their target. This what I mean. It does not mean I'm not saying that Ghanaians should sit there for them to be killed before our president will go for them. No, that's not what I'm saying. Are you getting it?
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if you listen to their message that they giving and it tells you that Ghanaians are not their target.
And I can even tell you that South Africans, they have now come to know the difference between Ghana and Nigeria.
before us Africans if they see a Ghanaian they may think that Ghanaian is a Nigerian because they don't actually know the difference between Ghana and Nigeria. So that guy that is claiming that he was beaten in South Africa when somebody wanted to steal somebody and he went there to defend South Africans may think that guy is a Nigerian that's why he got beaten. Are you getting it? I'm not saying um if somebody other foreigner is beaten in South Africa I must be happy. No, that's what I'm saying. That's not my case. But I'm but I'm trying to let you understand that Ghanaians are not their target. That's what I'm saying. That's why they said Ghana president react overreacted because you are not their target.
They know what they are doing. They know what they about.
Did you even that the the first day the first video that we saw about our brother who the center confronted and they were asking him about his paper in South Africa which we all got to understand that the guy was having fake document because he traveled to South Africa and and he traveled to Ghana and went back to South Africa on the same date which is not valid.
It is what that day that they got to know that he was a Ghanaian because after they asked him then they got to know he's a Ghanaian. If if they had known that the guy was a Ghana, I don't think they they will even approach him. You understand? But they have already approached him. So so definitely they will be asking him some questions.
Are you getting it? Yeah. But after that have do do we have evidence of Ghanaians being treated in South Africa if they know that these people are real Ghanaians? No. You understand?
And those those that that they came back though that they came back they came voluntary.
They came voluntary. We still have many Ghanaians in South Africa and they are untagged. Nobody has tagged them. Nobody has tagged them. They know what they are doing my brother. They know South Africa they know if if they see these people this group they are Ghanaians they will never go attack them. I'm telling you the fact because they know Ghanaians are good people. You see why do we think one South African South African man came and said that he thinks in the time Ghanaian will have land in South Africa and South Africa will have land in Ghana. What do you think the man said that? Because he knows Ghanaian are good people and they can never go after Ghanaians. This my point to this my point. So if they know where Ghanaians are, they will never go there. But because some of them South Africans may not know these people because maybe they are in some part of South Africa which they may not know that those people they are Ghanaians over there. So they before they will know maybe they have already attacked them. So this is the case. This is the case. Maybe they have already attacked them. Are you getting it? But if if they know this area is for Ghanaians, they will never going to attack them. I'm telling you the fact even the Nigerians that they brought all these incidents Nigerians and Zimbabwe and Mozambi who have brought all these problems in South Africa are they not still there which which one is being killed nobody has been killed they all there are you getting it even those that they are targeting they are still there so it means they know what they are doing and even if they have target the target is not Ghana that's what I'm trying to explain so I'm not GH should sit there for him to be killed before our president go for no that's not what I'm saying that's not my case that's not my case but I'm trying to let you understand the the angle that MMA and that they were coming from are you getting it because they know they they know that Ghanaians are good people and there's no way they can do bad things to Ghanaians they know they know there's no they can do bad things to Ghanaians so after after uh uh Um Jinda confronted our Ghanaian and they have they have now seen how the Russian is going. That's why they say no Ghanaians you you overreacted meaning they've now come to know who Ghanaians are before they didn't know.
I'm telling you the fact so now that they've come to know the reality of Ghanaians. So no we can't go after you Ghanaians you are not our target because they know Ghanaian teachers are teaching their schools. Ghana are even those that they are illegal they are not worried they are not worrisome people they are not troublesome people you understand so this is what I'm trying to explain this what I'm trying to explain that the angle that the male they were coming from I we we Ghana we didn't get it we didn't get it does not mean we should sit there for them to be killing our people before we go for we go and pick bring them back no that's not the case that's not the case you you have to understand the situation and what's going on. Okay. And so I'm not here to drag any issue with anybody, but I'm just I'm just trying to h describe what the angle that Malma and Jessa they were coming from. That's what I'm trying to explain. I'm not defending what they said that should we sit there for our people to be killed before we bring. No, that's not what I'm trying to defend.
But I'm trying to explain where they are coming from. Me, I understand what they are saying. I understand what they because Ghanaians are not their target.
You understand? But it was unfortunate that some Ghanaian have been involved. I said it before that it was unfortunate that some Ghanaians were involved and that has generated every heat and Ghanaian are talking about. But if not that I don't think we'll be you know bringing this energy to this level. So this is what I try to explain. So my brother get me right. Okay. Get me right. Okay. Thank you.
