The Zimbabwe Exemption Permit remains one of the biggest blunders ever implemented by politicians who put SA citizens last. In 2009, with unemployment at 23.5–24.9% amid a recession, the Zuma administration opened the door to the permit system. Zimbabweans flooded the labour market, competing with South Africans across sectors....

#ZimSARelationsSpoiledByZanuPFMisrule Despite the current tensions due to competition for job opportunities and social services - resources - South Africans and Zimbabweans have a long history of cross-border healthy cooperation and tensions, with Zimbabweans migrating to South Africa since colonial times, a trend that intensified after 2000; and prominent South Africans living in Zimbabwe. Before Zimbabwe's collapse after 2000, mainly due to leadership, governance and policy failures, the movement across the border was both ways, although the down south flow was heavier. People from the two countries worked and lived together in harmony for decades before the economic collapse north of the Limpopo River. The flow of labour has continued, particularly with the Zimbabwean crisis in the 2000s, leading to an influx of Zimbabwean migrants to South Africa, courtesy of the late former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF's misrule. This is what has led to millions of Zimbabwean migrating into South Africa, the regional economic powerhouse. The economies of the two countries have been closely intertwined historically and structurally, with a history of both cooperation and tension. Besides, Zimbabwe has always had deep political; economic, military, ideological, and cultural relations since the 19th century. There were massive movements or migration across current borders since the Mfecane period, then by colonial settlers and later ordinary people, creating a relationship of cooperation and conflictual tensions. The migration of Ndebele King Mzilikazi Khumalo and later Cecil John Rhodes from South Africa into Zimbabwe being historic highlights. Later, there were many other prominent examples, including those of Rhodesian ministers, judges, nationalists, businesspersons, sportspeople and ordinary citizens moving across the border. Now even celebrities. It was not one way. South Africans have a history of living and working in Zimbabwe, as long-term residents, including the Afrikaner community and those who moved as exiles during apartheid, and as temporary migrants seeking work opportunities. But more recently, millions of Zimbabweans moved to South Africa due economic hardship. When it was Rhodesia, Zimbabwe attracted South Africans from all walks of life, including politicians, businesspersons, professionals, sportspeople, and artists, among others. For instance, Chief Albert Luthuli, a prominent ANC leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner, was born in Solusi, near Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, although he has South African roots. ANC Stalwart Thomas Nkobi was from Zimbabwe. Rivonia trialist Denis Goldberg married Edelgard Nkobi, the German-born widow of Zenzo Nkobi, son of ANC Treasurer-General, Thomas Nkobi. South Africans lived, fought and died in Zimbabwe. Among the recent 49 remains of South Africans to be repatriated from Zimbabwe and Zambia were Advocate Duma Nokwe, Edwin Letsholo Makoti, Florence Mophosho and Basil February. Other prominent South Africans who lived in Zimbabwe were Joe Gqabi, Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, Moeletso Mbeki, Jacob Zuma's twins Duduzane and Duduzile, Caiphus Semenya, Letta Mbulu and First Lady Dr Tshepo Motsepe (who is on this video). Similarly, there there were South African-born Afrikaners who served as cabinet ministers in Rhodesia, for instance Rowan Cronjé and P. K. van der Byl. Top Zimbabwean businessmen like the late John Bredenkamp and Billy Rautenbach had South African links. Even sportspeople moved across, for example Bruce Grobbelaar was born in Durban but moved to Zimbabwe, played for Highlanders and later Liverpool. He is the best and most successful goalkeeper Africa has ever producer. One area deserves attention, the judiciary. Several South African-born judges served in Rhodesia, including the first three judges of the High Court: Sir Murray Bisset, Vincent, and William Musgrave Hopley. Zimbabweans and South Africans worked well before. So what has changed now: Zimbabwe's collapse.

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.
