Well said @RonaldLamola, you represented our country very well. South Africa is the land of freedom, democracy, and opportunities. They took our land through the barrel of the gun, they enslaved us, they killed our culture and traditions. They destroyed our dignity and loved animals more than us. We still forgave them because we are better human beings than they are. Even the DNA can prove it. They are now punishing us for wanting to distribute land to our people who are landless; they are now claiming white genocide in our country where a black man is killed every minute. We are being punished for BBBEE, which aims to address the injustice of the 300 years by their evil ancestors. We are being punished for empowering the black man economically and restoring his dignity by giving him his land. South Africa will never be free as long as there is inequality; every citizen will never be safe in our country where a small race controls the economy by design of a system that was created to empower only them. We are not our ancestors; we will not surrender to a white man ever again, and we will fight to the end to protect a non-racial society that we fought so hard to create, and we will fight for equality until the last white racist leaves this country. In the video that I attached, this white man explains very nicely the true agenda of a white man.

Lamola will start teaching your young the song “ Kill the Whites” so you can enjoy farmer-killings, if that’s your freedom goal you are doomed like South Africa. Calling yourself a Christian nation and engaging with dark spirits on the other side doesn’t make you a Christian, water and oil don’t mix.

Alsi no mentionof the looting by the governmentelitist. What a bunch of hypocrites. No more free hand outs, South Africa should be able to sustain itself.

Stop talking and do it.Meantime manufacturing and mining has been seriously declining. Lamola is out of his depth. Damaging SA.

📈 A key aspect of the GNU’s collective mandate was outlined by President Ramaphosa at the opening of Parliament in July: “Overhaul the visa regime to attract skills and investment and grow the tourism sector.” Just three months later, #TeamHomeAffairs delivers through the single most pro-jobs regulatory reform South Africa has seen in decades. The Department’s meticulous attention to detail to ensure that these reforms are fit-for-purpose and market-friendly, has resulted in two products that begin to reposition South Africa as a world-class destination for investment and tourism to create thousands of new jobs for South Africans. Importantly, the new points-based system also introduces a transparent framework to adjudicate visas in order to tackle corruption. •The Remote Work Visa enables highly paid individuals who are employed abroad and thus do not compete with local workers, to spend their valuable foreign currency right here in South Africa, pay Value-Added Tax into the South African fiscus, eat at South African restaurants, and buy South African goods and services from South African producers. •The new Points-Based System for Work Visas combats corruption and inefficiency by cutting red tape and introducing a transparent points scale to objectively determine who qualifies for a Critical Skills or General Work Visa. Additionally, for General Work Visa applications submitted outside of the Trusted Employer Scheme, a newly-introduced threshold of R650 796 in gross annual income – which amounts to double the median income in the formal sector – will better protect existing jobs at the lower end of the market while injecting skills at the top. Independent research commissioned by the Reserve Bank and the International Food Policy Research Institute shows that growing the number of high-end skills as a share of the total South African population by just 0.02%, can boost annual economic growth by up to 1.2%. The same research projects that an enhanced Visa regime can create seven new jobs for every additional skilled worker attracted into the economy. By harnessing the power of market-based regulatory reform to cut red tape and enhance transparency, Home Affairs is fighting corruption in our immigration system while delivering on the GNU’s apex priority to grow the economy and create thousands of new jobs for the people of South Africa! 🇿🇦 More here:

As we celebrate and reflect on Africa Day today, it is important to qualify the intervention by South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola. What he says is correct, the issue of immigration in South Africa is indeed a crisis, and instead of focusing on peripheral issues, attention should be directed at the root causes, the push factors driving African migrants from countries such as Zimbabwe and Mozambique into South Africa, both legally and illegally. The fact of the matter is that we all know what the problem is: misgovernance. And the African National Congress, which has governed South Africa since 1994, is fully aware of this reality. Yet it has continued politically supporting the regimes in the region that have contributed to creating this crisis inside South Africa itself. We all know that ZANUPF rigs elections. We all know that it presides over a deeply corrupt system. We also know that some within the ANC benefit politically and materially from relationships with ZANUPF. So while Minister Lamola’s comments sound correct in principle, many people across the region have become sceptical because statements are repeatedly made, yet very little changes in practice. As we saw during the recent Southern African Development Community (SADC) foreign ministers’ meeting held in South Africa, Zimbabwe’s Foreign Minister, Dr Amon Murwira, was effectively in denial, insisting there is no immigration crisis affecting Southern Africa or South Africa. As long as leaders continue issuing statements without confronting the underlying governance failures driving migration, this crisis will persist. This is fundamentally a crisis of failed leadership. That is why other parts of Africa, and indeed other regions of the world, often look at Southern Africa with disbelief. We know what the problem is, and we know what needs to be done, yet we refuse to act. Worse still, regional leaders continue defending and embracing the very political systems that are producing the collapse, namely ZANUPF in Zimbabwe and FRELIMO in Mozambique, even after disputed elections, corruption scandals, and institutional decay. It is not rocket science why Zimbabweans cross into South Africa to seek medical treatment. It is not rocket science why a significant number of women giving birth at Musina Hospital are Zimbabwean. It is because Zimbabwe’s public healthcare system has collapsed under corruption and decades of misgovernance. Zimbabwe’s largest public hospital still relies on a single maternity theatre built in 1977. The country’s public health sector has, for years, lacked a functioning radiotherapy cancer treatment machine for the entire nation. Under such conditions, desperate citizens will inevitably cross borders, legally and illegally, in search of survival and dignity. Tragically, it is ordinary poor Africans who now become pawns in political battles. Politicians exploit immigration to whip up emotions and win votes, while many of those same political actors continue protecting, legitimising, and enabling the governance failures that created the migration crisis in the first place. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) issued a scathing report on Zimbabwe’s 2023 election. Yet the first president to go and celebrate that disputed victory was South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. It therefore does not make sense for South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, to correctly speak about the root causes of the immigration crisis while his own government continues supporting and legitimising the very systems creating those root causes. After the SADC report was released, the Secretary-General of the African National Congress openly declared “Viva Mnangagwa.” That kind of duplicitous behaviour does not build confidence among citizens in South Africa or across Southern Africa.
