This is how much this man hates South Africa and Africa. He lies that there is a white genocide in South Africa. He made this speech yesterday. He continues to lie that there is a genocide in South Africa. That is why I do not understand the African idiots who support this man. You have to be a big black African idiot to support Donald Trump. South Africa is the biggest economy in Africa. It has taken care of millions of Africans, giving them an opportunity to pursue their dreams and to feed their families. There are millions of Africans living in South Africa, and yet Donald Trump is trying to destroy that economy that helps many Africans to sustain a decent living. And yet there is a black African who supports this man and sees Trump as a hero. Trump is an idiot. I do not care about him. But I am astonished that there is a black African somewhere in Africa seeing Donald Trump as a hero, and yet the same Donald Trump is trying to destroy the biggest economy in Africa for no apparent legitimate reason. South Africa has done nothing wrong to America, nothing wrong to Donald Trump, and yet yesterday he made this shameless speech. This makes me absolutely angry, livid, to know that there is an African out there who supports this idiot. He is running his racist refugee programme. He has blocked all other black nationals from Africa from seeking asylum in America. That is fine. We do not care about America. But he is using his racist programme to try and destroy the very mainstay of African economics, because that is what South Africa is to Africans. There is no country in Africa that does not have its nationals in South Africa. It takes a certain level of ignorance and idiocy for any black African to support and hail this man as a hero. This man wants to destroy our continent, and yet some African idiot is out there twerking for this guy.

ZANUPF has done many terrible things, but it is important to acknowledge that there are certain good things it did too. One of them was allowing Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) to operate from Zimbabwe, pass through Zimbabwe, and even use the Zimbabwe National Army to move its weapons from Zambia to South Africa. I know you are basing your statement on a short video clip which occasionally circulates online, showing Robert Mugabe being interviewed by British television. In that interview, he was asked if he would allow South Africans to fight militarily from Zimbabwe, and he replied that South Africans would fight militarily in South Africa not Zimbabwe. Anyone with a bit of common sense would understand that Mugabe could never have gone on British television and publicly said that Zimbabwe was helping South Africans militarily to fight apartheid from Zimbabwean soil. It is like expecting O. R. Tambo to go on British or American television and expose the tactics used to fight the apartheid regime. That would not have been a smart thing to do. It simply requires a bit of emotional intelligence to understand that when watching that video clip. If you are not aware of the history, read about the number of bombings that took place in Zimbabwe — bombings carried out by the apartheid South African regime in retaliation for Zimbabwe’s support of the liberation struggle in South Africa. Even your own former president Thabo Mbeki spoke about how Zimbabwe helped South Africa militarily during that period. That said, this is not an excuse to justify illegal immigration simply because Zimbabwe helped South Africa during the struggle. Zimbabwe did the right thing at the time. I am one of those who have consistently said that I am opposed to illegal immigration because it is a crime. However, that does not give anyone the right to insult or abuse Africans particularly Zimbabweans who are living legally in South Africa and have committed no crime. There are South Africans living in Zimbabwe too. One of the biggest mining companies in Zimbabwe, Zimplats, is South African-owned through Impala Platinum Holdings Limited. The bulk of Impala Platinum Holdings Limited’s earnings and revenue come from Zimbabwe not South Africa. Those are the taxes that pay grants to South Africans, it takes a bit of reading to understanding the interconnectedness. It is therefore foolish to say you don’t want Zimbabweans who are living legally in South Africa to do so. It is crazy! There are many other South African companies operating in Zimbabwe, and even your former vice-president, DD, owns a mine in Zvishavane. It is healthy for South Africans to have conversations about issues affecting their country. It is also healthy to discuss illegal immigration — that is part of responsible citizenship. But when you start going after people like Peter Ndoro, who are in South Africa legally, and others who are even naturalised South Africans, it becomes clear that the issue is no longer about immigration. It is about targeting Africans — it is Afrophobia. There are many white Zimbabweans living in South Africa, some legally and some illegally, yet I have never heard anyone mention them. Instead, the focus is always on black Africans who are in South Africa legally and contributing to society. That is not about protecting borders or enforcing immigration laws — that is about self-hate, the internalised racism that drives some Africans to turn on their fellow Africans.

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.
