Black people targeting Black migrants in SA are like “crabs in a barrel” scrambling for white men's crumbs. Author Marquett Burton lashes out at the illegal-migrant protests sweeping the country, calling them hate crimes against easy targets. He believes what’s happening ignores deeper systems that still shape SA’s economy, which belongs to a white minority. The clip’s gone viral, with nearly 20K comments.

Africa’s elites have been Westernised, says Kenyan scholar Prof Wandia Njoya. They rise on the back of foreign degrees rather than hard work and local expertise. Citing philosopher Lewis Gordon, she blasts "elitists" who've ruled for decades without serving real public interests. True excellence, Njoya insists, means solving people's daily struggles – not just collecting certificates.

Big retailers are the real winners from SA’s anti-migrant protests, says lawyer Brian Kagoro. Demos have closed down foreign-owned small spaza shops in townships amid claims they’re taking local jobs. But Kagoro predicts large chains, like Shoprite, will pick up the market share and profit. He also points out many Zimbabweans cross the border to buy South African goods but reckons that could be slashed if SA businesses set up in Zimbabwe and offer services there instead.

A Congolese woman pleads with the SA government for protection amid anti-migrant protests. She claims demonstrators targeted her salon and tried to arrest migrants who've also been 'beaten'. The woman is one of dozens of African migrants who’ve camped at the Diakonia Centre in Durban, seeking safety guarantees from authorities. It follows a new wave of protests against undocumented foreigners in KwaZulu-Natal. They've been led by March and March, with similar demos taking place in the Eastern Cape. Protestors are reportedly demanding foreigners leave the country by June 30th. Authorities have warned against unlawful vigilante conduct. #Immigration #Migrants #Protests #Africa #Congo #AU #SADC #SouthAfrica #KZN #Africanism #AfricaToday #PanAfricanism #BorderlessAfrica
