Phakela umthakathi must stop misleading his non thinking followers! We know reading isn't their strong suit, but spreading outright lies about South African law to fuel xenophobia is both dangerous and a crime. A refugee under the Refugees Act is NOT a business visa applicant under the Immigration Act,... there is no R5 million requirement for refugees to run a business. Stop using fake legal claims to incite hate against people. SA Police Service 🇿🇦 needs to locate and arrest Phakela for deliberately inciting xenophobic hostility, spreading malicious disinformation, and orchestrating unlawful intimidation.show more

They are fake refugees and asylum seekers!! Their documents needs to be reassessed!! We can't be having people from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Tanzanian and Somalia seeking refuge in SA!! These are economic migrants!!

Legal status verification is strictly the mandate of Home Affairs and Immigration Officers, not mobs or street vigilantes. If someone’s permit is invalid, official law enforcement handles it, vigilantism is never the legal solution.

The gentle man asked him which law is he referring to ! Boom phakela said nothing but reminds him he’s not a South African

Tell us you haven't read a single act of law without telling us. The moment someone asks for legal facts, the entire activism act falls apart!

Law of the jungle... very unfortunate that people have to be subjected to such vigilantism. The guy is a chance taker, a charlatan of note

Exactly. It’s pure lawlessness disguised as patriotism. When self appointed activists override statutory authorities like Home Affairs and @SAPoliceService, society slips into mob rule.

He was asked which law he is enforcing he has zero clue Phakelabis a clown masquerading as an activist.

Exactly. He’s taking advantage of people who haven't read the legislation. Playing cop without knowing a single clause of the actual law is pure nonsense.

It's sad man

You perpetuating rubbish wena @PhakelaMthakath is right. You the only one with shortcomings when coming to South African laws.

You just proved the point by posting that infographic. Look closely at point 3 on your own graphic. It explicitly says "BUSINESS VISA". That section applies under the Immigration Act. Refugees and asylum seekers operate under the Refugees Act, which legally permits self employment without a Business Visa or an R5 million requirement. Read your own sources before posting them!

The lies that is allowed by the state to spread is damaging the reputation of South Africa and by the time they wake up there will be nothing to save anymore

Unchecked misinformation and legal distortion erode institutional trust and fuel unnecessary conflict. The failure of law enforcement to curb fake news and public incitement is doing long term damage to the country's stability.

This guy doesn’t understand the law

Don't ever associate reading for meaning with hooligans. Sad part is even unemployed graduates don't know the laws of the land.

The collapse of basic legal literacy and critical reading is exactly what allows these vigilantes to thrive. When people stop verifying facts, populist disinformation takes over.

We are blamed of being seen as supporting foreign nationals by just mentioning the laws of the country, its a pity

PhakelaMthakath is busy harrassing refugees & foreign nationals like he is law & allowed to do so cause ungumZulu with fake acts he does not know & never even read. @SAPoliceService must locate him, there are video evidences of him going around harrassing & bullying people.

Idiots like you think every foreign Pakistani, Ethiopian, Somali running a Spaza Shop in South Africa is a refugee

Determining who holds a valid asylum permit, refugee status, or business permit is the job of Home Affairs inspectors, not self appointed street judges who don't know the difference between the Refugees Act and the Immigration Act.

Extortion. You can a business without 5 million as long you are under zep or asylum he is misleading people. He think he knows the low. Instead he must open his own Business and give it to south Africans. South Africans must stop buying from from these shops its very simple.

Accurate. The R5m threshold is for standard foreign business visa applicants, not ZEP, refugees, or asylum status holders. Mobilizing people based on fake legal interpretations isn't activism, it's misinformation.

I asked myself the same question about why states is not climping this down but I thought maybe they are giving him long rope to hang himself.

Giving vigilantes "rope to hang themselves" backfires when public safety and livelihoods are destroyed in the process. @SAPoliceService needs to enforce law and order before vigilante harassment escalates into widespread violence.

He is a bully and he needs to stop harassing people South Africa is a country with laws

@SAPoliceService how is this situation solved.

A refugee who is not in the refugee camp, he was intergrated in te commutie has the right to do the business. We should ashamed, someone came empty hand to the coutry and establishe himself the we start fighting him then to learn hw he dd it?

The South African constitution doesn't stop refugees and asylum seekers from owning and operating a spaza shops.

And the comments are from foreign nationals 😂

Atleast one person said it! They need to be arrested for inciting violence. People are now going around the country demanding things from people and businesses when we have capable inspectors. Iskole siyadingeka nje, period!

He will be arrested soon.

@UphakamaM You are not the law. Who? You.😂😂😂😂😂😂

U are a bafoon.

@ali_naka Voices like yours are very rare. Bless up for this. Those that are filled with hate,lazy,criminal minded are hiding under this March march to exhibit their wickedness. Whereas the government that failed in their duties to them is being excused.

Wena Andile u can’t be defending people who are poisoning our kids with expired food and came with guns in our country illegal …..u shall regret that kind of kindness

Defending the rule of law is NOT defending crime or expired goods. Health inspectors, law enforcement, and municipal officials are legally empowered to raid, fine, and close illegal shops. Supporting vigilantes who ignore actual laws just undermines real enforcement.

If police and officials are taking bribes? U commenting from the privilege point of view. Let’s hope no one from ur family will ever die from Somalis poisonous food

He's already incited looting these shops more than once, and on camera, and SAPS is still figuring out

We have been saying this for the longest time. They have been telling each other of 5 million with confidence.

Andile my small town mokopane , we have got 660 spaza shops and this is Mokopane alone , dis pple came in with a mission not with a refugee status, there is no war or political unrest in their countries. We are protecting the heritage & legacy of SA

@SAPoliceService

Hai suka wena semaumau..

Don't lie,Ntshabeni just confirmed that,R5 million or nothing.Also majority of those foreigners used study visas.Please man.

This is unlawful and makes a mockery of our country. @SAPoliceService and @GovernmentZA need to step in here.

Who is funding you?

What have you done to fight for your country?
