A wise man once said that when xenophobes are done targeting foreigners, they will eventually turn on fellow South Africans whom they think do not “look South African.” Sadly, that is exactly what is now happening. It is heartbreaking to watch brother turn against brother, South African turn against... South African, simply because they speak different vernacular languages, belong to different ethnic groups, or do not fit someone else’s narrow idea of what a South African should look like. This is backward, dangerous, and deeply shameful. A country cannot build unity or progress when people are policing each other’s identity based on accents, language, skin tone, surnames, or tribes. Today it is someone being accused of being foreign. Tomorrow it will be another South African being told they are not “South African enough.” That is how hatred destroys societies from within. This is why the rest of the world sometimes laughs at Africans. We fight each other over the very things that should make us stronger, our diversity, cultures, and identities. Instead of uniting against poverty, corruption, unemployment, and failed leadership, people are busy hunting one another over tribe and language. This is the worst form of ignorance because it strips people of their dignity and humanity. I hope this brother recovers from the trauma and humiliation of being treated like an outsider in his own country. I cannot imagine the pain of being called a foreigner by people who believe you must speak their language or look like them to belong.show more

Afrophobes are fucken IDIOTS!! Got no time for the imbeciles

@Julius_S_Malema was right. “When they are done with Nigerians and Zimbabweans, they are coming for you”

@ali_naka You are too invested in South African matters, I wonder when are you going to use this energy towards your country. Your country is collapsing, all you care about is South Africa. This is why South Africans hate you guys.

Sad indeed. In the end the police minister will be sued as his members aided the vigilantes and failed to protect a citizen. The out of court settlements are usually in millions of Rand and never made public. This is taxpayers paying for the negligence.

We are not brothers..nd yes after the foreigners have left...we going after ur criminally corrupt leaders. Who are black and South African

A wise man once said tht whn FREEDOM FIGHTERS are done fighting APARTHEID thy will steal money for the poor and collapse th country by allowing aliens to take over th country It is heartbreaking to watch th state of th country where even foreigners dare to tell us what to do

You are correct a country can not be built on tribal lines unfortunately Zimbabwe is built on institutionalized tribalism

It is strange and highly dangerous for a government to allow such gangsterism to proliferate as they watch with their wide open eyes 😳

You right a long article about internal affairs of South Africa but almost all African countries have tribal battles. South Africa has few or no tribal issues. Focus people, your countries are shitholes. Fix, fight, focus

You can make South Africa the Mecca of xenophobia all you want. That element needs to be out rooted but the fight for the abuse of our country must stop. And this selective chastising of SA while almost all your countries are tribalistic is funny to me.

You go to Mozambique, Zimbabwe you'll find stolen cars from south Africa but no other brother or leader is standing up to arrest those people as they rejoice. Your people from Zim are stealing copper cable, streets light, battery towers but we must keep quite coz we are xenops.

@Julius_S_Malema said this long back and you people thought he was crazy, man who stand on principles see things as they are or what they can potentially turn out to be, most time they aren’t far from the truth. It’s upto South African security services to thwart this nonsense

They want you to use Zulu surname so they can see you are a South African

@Greg_Modise1 How hard is it for you to leave South Africans alone? You keep trying to force strangers to accept you? Why are you so pitiful? You have a resource rich country go and make something of it. These clips you’re creating won’t work.

I will always tell people, don't even bother or stress yourself. Nature and time will always sort it out. You don't look like the original black South Africa once the first assignment is concluded without people's consent or view. Even Bob Marley once warned about.

As the saying goes; the chicken are coming home to roost. They knew the xenophobic hoodlums were out of order but they said nothing because they thought exempt. Juju predicted this very outcome but they demised him. 🤷🏿‍♂️😎

Crime breeds crime and needs to be stopped ! African countries don’t tolerate crimes like illegal immigration, drug trafficking, rape, damage to infrastructure, illegal churches, illegal mining,etc but they expect SA to put up with these ! Our constitution and govt are to blame !

It's sad that his car was smashed , damaged by his own country men accusing him of being a foreigner. A limpopo woman was once beaten up because she was too dark to be a South African, the idiotic behavior continues

@ali_naka This are lies stage by a you wise man members. We know them very well and it doesn’t change that illegal foreigners must leave the country and get documented if they want to be in SA. Using that fency word (xenophobia) won’t stop SAns to fight for what is right for then.

The SA government doesn't only SUPPORT these attacks against foreigners it FUNDS these thugs. SAns should be VERY CAREFUL, the day these foreigners will decide to DEFEND THEMSELVES, there will be a BLOODBATH in that country. Baring in mind MOST of those foreigners are SOLDIERS.

This is really sad to hear. The level of SELF HATE in South Africa is really concerning😕

Mere fact that SAns has its own problem doesn’t mean they shouldn’t deal with immigration issues. We will deal with all our problems and for now that is foreigners

@ali_naka I wish all those supporting this heinous act also get attacked, then they’ll understand. Xenophobia is evil, and those supporting it are enablers of it🤷🏽‍♂️

I was told you MuST speak Zulu language if you are a real South African. I reminded them of Zulus who are in Zambia , they said, No those are not Zulus, I realized that m taking to hooligans

Some Zulus are Domkop,anyone who doesn’t speak their language is a kwerekwere in SA

Xenophobes have always been driven by witchcraft, envy, jealous, selfishness, the spirit of poverty and sheer evil. They will draw blood from their own brother so they feel good that they have fallen to the same level as them.

Until as Africans we relearn the principle of ubuntu that my brother is someone I cross path with, regardless of their race, language and place of residence I have an obligation to help, we will continue a vicious circle of spilling blood, avenging spirits, poverty, unemployment

They are just stupid cowards

Some knob has to pay

Hihihihihihi the fools are begining to realise that you do not use law breakers to catch law breakers!

No organisation that will be stopped foreigners who are selling drugs will be taken care of trust me. They will go home either horizontally or vertically.

These pee brain 🧠 xenophobes are too stupid to know they don't have the training and tools to enforce immigration
