Nonsense. South Africans have been successful cross border drivers before Zimbabweans flooded SA. This lie is told in every sector from restaurants to teaching to engineers & there's deterioration when Zimbabweans are employed. They almost collapsed Eskom & SAA. Now it's SABC

Any employer who feels he wants to employ Zimbabweans he is welcome to do is in Zimbabwe. Let those employers invest in a country where its employees work hard.

The comment section is missing the point. You r not owed jobs. The employer employs who they want. As long as those people are legal, no law has been broken. This culture of demanding jobs at a company u didn't start bcoz of an ID is entitlement that makes u unattractive. Stop it

It's only a fool with underdeveloped brains who'll say and belive that nonsense, unfortunately we know this guy's attitude towards SAns, In every nation there are lazy and hardworking people, beautiful and ugly people, so generalizing like that exposes his stupidity.

Instead of developing a good worth ethic, a good attractive attitude SAn will fume at this brother. That's why at the first chance they loot, rob, steal, too used to free, easy cheap things.

Nonsense because these employers know they will be in direct violations in employing South Africans of basic conditions of employment , health and safety regulations

He speaks very well. If a driver can change his own wheel then its a big help and saving. To send a support crew up into africa costs many thousands, and time lost. All the comments saying no, they are not listening or understanding. He is even speaking slowly so they understand.

It is obvious that every employer can see the clear work ethics between the lazy South Africans and other but their stupidity and illiteracy will never allow them to reflect and become better people, they’ll rather keep blaming everyone one else but their drunk selves. Baboons!

Sometimes we need to shut the hell up when you do not know nothing. South Africa introduced Sectoral Determination in 2002 under BCEA to replaced the old Wage Board determinations to set minimum wages and working conditions. These guyz accept everything as long the work and paid

Zimbabweans are conditioned to survive anywhere but in Zimbabwe. South Africa, at the moment, has 19 players that play in the domestic league. We're proud. Take your conditioned nation we don't need it.

It is true, my house was built by Zimbabweans. Then I hired South African to put garage door and pivot and windows he asked for 75% deposit. I paid that was last year December. The house was finished in March. Guess what I don't have doors, only few windows were installed.

If employers believe South Africans lack certain skills, then the answer is training and upskilling, not writing off an entire nation. South African businesses benefit from South African infrastructure, customers and markets, so they should also invest in developing local talent.

As a person that owns a truck, this man has said nothing but facts. Nothing but facts. My Zim truck driver even finds me loads when on the road so he keeps working. Those people are resourceful.

Truth be told... While some South Africans, usually the uninformed, would like to deny it, some companies and managers in the country in some sectors prefer to employ foreign workers or immigrants due to their work ethic, workmanship, skills, and willingness to work longer hours compared to locals as this hospitality industry operator Mbuso Mohlamme says. Many industries — such as engineering, healthcare, and IT, we as well as teaching on maths and sciences — face severe shortages of local talent and thus employ foreigners. However, it is also true that South African employers prefer immigrants due to cheap labour and their vulnerability to exploitation. Some employers look for cheaper labour to reduce operating costs. Undocumented or vulnerable foreign workers accept wages below the legal minimum or work longer hours to survive, although the Department of Employment and Labour strictly penalises this practice. In labour-intensive or service-oriented sectors like hospitality, agriculture, and retail, as Mohlamme says, some businesses report that foreign workers demonstrate higher commitment, efficiency, and customer-service skills. Besides, many immigrants come from countries with massive informal economies. As a result, they bring strong entrepreneurial drive and trading experience that is highly beneficial for retail and informal business sectors So in brief, South African employers sometimes prefer hiring foreign nationals due to a combination of factors - local skills shortages, the need for specialised expertise, and, in some industries, willingness of migrants to accept lower wages or endure more demanding working conditions.

I want my followers to understand that you SHOULDN’T insult South Africa as a country based on a few loud voices on social media who express racist or xenophobic views. South Africa has provided numerous opportunities to the world, particularly to Africans. If South Africans were truly xenophobic, Africans would not be living there in such large numbers today. The majority of South Africans are welcoming to all foreigners who are legally in the country and do not commit crimes. These foreigners work with South Africans, live with them, and many are married to South Africans. There is nothing to worry about in South Africa if you are there legally and not committing crimes. South African citizens have the right to express concerns about illegal foreign nationals and those who commit crimes. In Zimbabwe, illegal foreigners are often placed in dilapidated jails, and refugees are housed in camps like Tongogara in Manicaland. Generalisations are dangerous, especially when they taint and insult a silent majority that is not xenophobic. Local communities in South Africa have protected foreign nationals from a small, violent minority on many occasions. The South African government is not xenophobic either. If it were, Zimbabwean women, who make up 70% of pregnant women giving birth at Musina Hospital in Limpopo, would not be allowed there. We should be grateful for the South African hospitality we have received for decades. It is important to recognise that while xenophobia and racism may exist in certain pockets of society, these attitudes do not reflect the majority of South Africans or the country as a whole. Respecting the rights of South African citizens to voice concerns about illegal immigration and crime is important, as these are valid issues. However, it is equally important to avoid generalising these concerns to portray the entire nation as xenophobic or unwelcoming. If South Africans were truly xenophobic, parties like PA and Action SA would be in power today. The four largest political parties in South Africa have never used xenophobia as a campaign platform, which should be telling. Do not judge a nation's character based on a few loud, yet inconsequential voices on social media. They do not represent South Africa accurately. Countries are a product of their history. We shouldn’t draw comparisons with where we come from and insist that our hosts should behave as we do. If South Africans were to follow our practices in Zimbabwe, refugees would be in camps and illegal foreigners would be in jail! In Zimbabwe, refugees are not even allowed to work, if you are found working, you are thrown into jail. South Africa, on the other hand, provides equal legal rights in its courts to foreigners as it does to South Africans. These actions are not those of a xenophobic country. Zimbabwe has refused to issue documents to people of Malawian and Zimbabwean origin, and it has revoked the citizenships of many Zimbabweans whose great-grandparents came from elsewhere. In any society, you are going to have opportunistic politicians and unemployables who think that all their problems are caused by foreigners, we have them everywhere, but they shouldn’t be used to define a whole nation!
