South Africa’s migration crisis is opening deep wounds between nations that once stood together against apartheid. And it reflects a continent-wide issue that must be tackled by the AU, the “town hall” Africa. UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, doesn't hold back in this SABC interview, and demands permanent solutions.... show more

[WATCH] Comrades the threat of this violence that is being promoted here is that there is a promotion of creating animosity between South Africa and the rest of the continent. South Africa does business with other African countries. We buy oil from the continent and many South African business do business on the continent. Soon those businesses will be removed and we have South Africans working in those countries. We must never allow our Ubuntu to be undermined by vigilantes. These people are damaging the image of the country and the state must act and act decisively.

[WATCH] “No country in the world has open borders.” SAFTU General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi says the federation is not calling for undocumented migration into South Africa, but argues that migrants should not be scapegoated for the country’s socio-economic challenges. He says South Africa has a responsibility to manage and protect its borders in line with international conventions. #POWERTalk

🚨UPDATE: What’s happening in South Africa must be condemned by all Africans of goodwill. I still remember when Nigerians and many other Africans stood shoulder to shoulder with South Africans in the fight against apartheid. We protested, sacrificed, donated, advocated, and believed their struggle was our struggle. We never asked what tribe, language, or nationality they were. We simply saw fellow Africans suffering under oppression and chose to stand with them. Today, seeing fellow Africans attacked, humiliated, and treated as enemies in the very country we once rallied behind is painful beyond words. The freedom South Africa enjoys today was not won alone. It was built on the sacrifices, support, and solidarity of Africans across the continent. That history should never be forgotten. Life is unpredictable. Nations rise and fall. Circumstances change. The hands that once lifted you should not be the hands you push away. What is happening is not just an attack on foreigners—it is a betrayal of African unity and the spirit that helped defeat apartheid. History remembers. Africa remembers.

Irregular migration is a common challenge facing our continent. Research suggests that, for many Africans, migration is driven less by choice than by compulsion. An Africa-wide conference to examine the push and pull factors shaping migration is long overdue. After all, most African migrants remain within the continent. A discussion that singles out one country, without considering the broader continental picture, risks undermining African unity and addressing only the symptoms of the challenge. This is the message we delivered in response to Ghana's petition to the AU Executive Council.

President Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia has spoken out strongly against xenophobia and Afrophobia in South Africa, saying that South Africans do not have to kill fellow Africans to resolve labour-related issues. President Hichilema reminded South Africans of the sacrifices Zambia made during the struggle against apartheid, arguing that bridges and other infrastructure in Zambia were bombed by the apartheid regime while the Zambian government was supporting Umkhonto weSizwe and the African National Congress in their fight for liberation. Zambia paid a heavy price for that solidarity because it believed in African brotherhood and the liberation of fellow Africans. He argued that this spirit of African brotherhood should not disappear today because of what he described as a xenophobic mentality that has gripped parts of South Africa. President Hichilema said what is happening in South Africa is wrong and unacceptable, stressing that legitimate concerns about jobs, labour and immigration cannot justify violence against fellow Africans. His message is essentially that the solidarity Africans showed South Africans during the struggle against apartheid cannot be forgotten now that South Africa is free.

Some Ghanaians living in South Africa say they are not happy with reports circulating back home claiming Ghanaians are being beaten and attacked daily in South Africa 🇿🇦. According to some residents, they are now receiving worried calls from family members in Ghana 🇬🇭 asking them to return home out of fear. They insist that what is happening is mainly protests by South Africans against illegal migration, something they say has happened for years, and not random attacks on every foreign national. Some also claim that many of the people who recently returned to Ghana were undocumented migrants who already wanted assistance to travel back home. The situation continues to spark debate across Africa, with many calling for calm, truth, and proper solutions to migration and unemployment challenges on the continent. #SouthAfrica #Ghana #IllegalMigration #Africa #Johannesburg #GhanaiansInSouthAfrica #OperationDudula #AfricanNews #MigrationCrisis #SouthAfricanProtests #TrendingNews #Accra #CapeTown #AfricanUnit

🚨🛩️ CARL NIEHAUS DEMANDS: CLOSE ORANIA DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL‼️ EFF MP Carl Niehaus has sparked a firestorm by calling for the shutdown of Orania, the self-sufficient Afrikaner town often described as a “whites-only” enclave, branding it a racist apartheid relic that has no place in democratic South Africa‼️ Supporters cheer it as a bold stand against division and exclusion. Critics fire back: Is this really fighting racism or a direct assault on cultural self-determination, minority rights and the constitutional freedom of association? South Africa is split down the middle: 🔥Orania, symbol of exclusion that must be dismantled? Or 🔥Orania, peaceful cultural community under attack for daring to succeed on its own terms? In a nation battling crime, failing service delivery and identity politics, this debate cuts to the heart of race, belonging, and freedom. What do YOU think? Is Orania the problem or the mirror South Africa doesn’t want to look into⁉️

The statement by Amina Mohammed, the UN Deputy Secretary-General, that she “defends the rights of Afghan women within the framework of Islam” can be dangerous. The United Nations must defend women’s rights unconditionally, not within a framework dictated by the Taliban. If the UN truly stands for the rights of Afghan women, it must do so based on universal human rights, not within a framework that the Taliban may interpret to justify oppression. 🔹 Afghanistan women do not need “limited rights within a specific framework”; they need freedom, equality, and full human rights. 🔹 The international community must make it clear that no justification for the suppression of women is acceptable, even if it is framed in the name of religion. 🌲SimaNoori🌲 Amina J Mohammed #boycottaminajmohammed

Elon Musk’s Father Denies Apartheid in South Africa Errol Musk, father of South African-born American tech billionaire Elon Musk, claims apartheid never happened in South Africa. The 79-year-old business man, whose less-than-admirable character and familial ties to pro-apartheid and neo-Nazi movements within South Africa are a matter of public knowledge, said this in a November interview on CNN. Musk’s statements echo a long tradition of denial of the historical atrocities committed against Africans by those who have benefited the most from these atrocities. The Spearhead cannot speak to Mr. Musk’s grip on basic reality, but the historical fact remains that apartheid was a very real and very dark chapter in Africa’s modern history, marked by racial segregation, systemic violence, brutal atrocities like the Sharpeville massacre, and the active support of the regime that perpetrated all these atrocities by Western nations. With Mr. Musk’s son, Elon, recently amplifying equally false and historically backward claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa in support of U.S. President Donald Trump’s racist policies, it seems the apple has not fallen far from the tree.

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.

South Africa’s economy would boom if its borders were thrown open to trade and people. It’s long been Africa’s economic juggernaut, but EFF boss Julius Malema reckons it could grow further by removing all barriers to the rest of the continent. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a step in that direction, but Malema also wants to scrap border controls for migrants. He gave this interview in 2023, before the recent anti-foreigner demos in the country, but his stance hasn’t changed. Does he have a point? #Malema #SouthAfrica #Africa #PanAfricanism #eff #Unity #BuildAfrica #Industrialisation #Trade

There are many people in South Africa and in the USA who are working hard to tell the world that those of us who are concerned about the future of South Africa are exaggerating, or that we are busy with some dark agenda. Our greatest task is to gather support for solutions. But to have the conversation about solutions it is important that there is certainty about what exactly the problem is that needs to be solved. As far as Lex Libertas is concerned, the crisis can be summarized under three headings: 1. A destructive policy framework; 2. Disintegration of the state; and 3. The persecution of minorities. This is why the White Cross project is so important. We must give the world credible information about exactly what is happening in South Africa.

As South Africa’s ruling party the ANC insults Zimbabwe’s legitimate opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa as a Western puppet and celebrates the rigging of elections in Zimbabwe, something that has created illegal immigration in South Africa, these Zimbabweans are voting with their feet crossing into South Africa without passports. The shameless behaviour of the ANC in Zimbabwe is already sending more Zimbabweans into South Africa where they will use hospitals and schools creating social tension with local communities. The ANC endorses all this mayhem through its support for rigged elections in Zimbabwe. Its Secretary General ANC SECRETARY GENERAL | Fikile Mbalula is now literally a ZANUPF commissar on social media. He doesn’t care because his family won’t use public hospitals in South Africa, his family won’t be jobless like ordinary South Africans!

$Africa no longer wants to align itself with the great powers, whatever they may be” The role assigned to Africa in this 21st century is evocative of the image that certain powers of our continent still have: their zone of influence. We must be concerned about the place that Africa occupies on the world stage. The great powers want to reduce Africa to a purely instrumental entity in the service of their causes and obviously do not want the continent to be able to play an important role. The fractures of the colonial era between a so-called French-speaking, Spanish speaking, Portuguese-speaking, Arabic-speaking and English-speaking Africa have diminished, as have the post-Cold War ideologies that dominated the entire second part of the 20th century. Today Africa wants to be itself, it is “Africanophone” if you allow it. Africa expects more equality, respect, equity and justice in its relations and partnerships with the rest of the world, with the major powers, whatever they may be. Today Africans want to be true partners. In the concert of nations, Africa must be listened to for dialogue to have meaning. The lack of listening perverts the meaning of the dialogue, which turns into a juxtaposition of monologues and biased reasons. Africa certainly does not have the same megaphones as the great powers of the world, but the voice of Africa counts and must count if we want to have Africa as a partner on major international issues. Moreover, Africa expects a true partnership and our allies must make an effort to accept the spirit of such a partnership. Our allies cannot always expect unconditional support from the continent. Africa wants to cooperate with its allies on the basis of its well-understood interests. #UNGA #UNGA2023 #UNGA78 #Africanophonie #APA #AfricanPoliticalAlliance #PanafricanCongress #LomePanafricanCongress #Lome2024 #Panafrican #Panafricanism #LPSF #LPSF2023 #OurAfrica$

I Am Deeply Embarrassed by Xenophobic Vigilantism in South Africa, Perpetrators Must Face the Law – Mene As a pan-Africanist and a South African, I bow my head in shame. I am deeply embarrassed by the xenophobic vigilantism being carried out in South Africa by a loud minority of xenophobes. I am heartened by the government’s response and its determination to prosecute individuals who are causing havoc, harassing, and attacking foreign nationals in South Africa, whether they are documented or undocumented. This behavior is inconsistent with the values of Pan-Africanism, and it is abhorrent to the very idea of the single market we are trying to build. The displacement of foreign nationals in South Africa is antithetical to that project. I reject xenophobia in all its forms. Wamkele Mene Secretary-General, AfCFTA Secretariat

I did mention that Trump’s approach to South Africa will undermine America’s influence not only in South Africa but also on the continent. I also mentioned that China and the European Union will see a gap and fill it because nature does not like a vacuum. I also warned against making irrational comparisons with Zimbabwe because South Africa is not a dictatorship but a constitutional democracy where no single white farmer has lost land without compensation. For those who doubted my views on this issue, this video posted by European Union ambassadors to South Africa is your answer. You cannot antagonise and threaten everyone and expect to succeed in a world that has changed so much in the past thirty years. Trump’s position on South Africa is further weakened by the fact that it is anchored on a raft of lies, gossip, and rumours—a stance that is particularly demeaning for a superpower like America. The whole world is aware of this, and the reaction of the European Union, America’s closest ideological partner, tells its own independent story of a waning empire that is sabotaging its interests with ridiculous executive orders based on falsehoods.

The whole world is aware of this, and the reaction of the European Union, America’s closest ideological partner, tells its own independent story of a waning empire that is sabotaging its interests with ridiculous executive orders based on falsehoods.
