[WATCH] Former President Thabo Mbeki says the problems in SA were caused by South Africans and can't be blamed on people who migrated to the country. "When I see things like Operation Dudula, it hurts. We can't position ourselves as though we're enemies of other Africans, it's not right,"... show more

The ANC hates South Africans. The ordinary citizens are complaining about borders and illegal foreigners, and aboMbeki say gaslighty things like this. Patriotic South Africans need to do whatever it takes to remove the ANC from power. As for me personally, I don't care.

Mbeki must go to hell and everyone who says we must fold arms and watch illegal foreigners take over the country. They destroyed cities now they want to live with us in our communities. Kanti what’s wrong with politicians…

He shouldv said "SA problems are caused by the ANC government "

That’s what a Man who live like a retired white man will say, Thabo Mbeki must enjoy his nice Cape Town crib he doesn’t understand the suffering of black people and he never did as a president because he was in America never fought for freedom.’!!

He forgets they never informed us of people coming to live in our communities. The crimes they committ like ritual killings,the farm murders, rape, food poisoning is all our fault? OK, he must let us rectify our fault. We wanna rectify it by removing them from our communities.

Mbeki loves to intellectualize crises after he’s had a hand in creating them and acting as if he’s an elder statesman observing from afar, not a principal architect of the mess. Before lecturing South Africans, he should account for his record or Shut the F up.

The same ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS who MURDER/DRUG/RAPE South Africans.

Ahhhh marete a @TMFoundation_ when africans do this you silent msunu

He is protecting his businesses in Zimbabwe he own mines also in Congo.

This moron cannot shut up .. he should use his hat to cover his face

President Mbeki is right, Politicians keep blaming migrants to distract from their own corruption. Accountability starts at home.

Mbeki should never be taken seriously, he is the golden son of the system and he has been rewarded for his loyalty to it.

Thabo Mbeki commitment a genocide by denying people HIV treatment, flooded South Africa with Foreigners,pushed neoliberal economic policies and sold of the youth to Nyaope when he was president of South Africa

Uphambene Tata respectfully. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is a huge problem in this country. Also I don't anyone cares how yall politicians feel/think anymore.

He was in Britain enjoying freedom while people were dying in South Africa during apartheid

@TMFoundation_ its @GovernmentZA failures to protect SA citizens by not enforcing Immigration laws that lead to Citizens taking this actions, position SA as enemies of Africa. Mbeki should put blame on @ParliamentofRSA for not enforcing laws than on Dudula. We want SA to do same

You don’t get to set the house on fire and then scold the smoke. Now Mbeki wants to stand on a moral podium, scolding Citizens for xenophobia without acknowledging that his foreign policy of appeasement and denial created the very humanitarian crisis he’s lamenting. That's BS.

This TM is going to cost the ANC dearly. At some point u have to listen to the citizens of this country. Talk to those country to treat their citizens better. Infact TM what have u done for EC where ur roots are? U are not better than those leader who have big stomachs. Charity

Mbeki and Cyril Ramaphosa saying this because they have businesses in Africa. He's protecting his assets in Africa.

Thabo is the co-author or Zimbabwean problems that led Zimbabweans to flock into South Africa. This is the guy who lied that 2002 Elections were free and fair while the report of the Khamphepe and Masoneke Observer Mission said the opposite. It had to take DA to sue SA government to release the report which later released in 2012 but Zimbabwean lives were already destroyed. It is South Africa foreign policy on Zimbabwe which lead us to where we are today. In 2008 Mbeki played quite diplomacy on Zimbabwe while shielding Robert Mugabe who happened to lose 2008 elections but was protected by Thabo Mbeki. In 2018, Ramaphosa rushed to Zimbabwe to legitimise the illegitimate election of Emmerson Mnangagwa while the matter was playing out in court. Only Ramaphosa of all African presidents rushed to Zanu PF side and held an inauguration despite the court challenge in process and the eventual Kgalema Motlante Commission on the killing of civilians in Zimbabwe which the sought to blame on the opposition yet it was the army who shot civilians in the back. In 2023, despite a very direct SADC Mission Elections Observer Mission report which said the elections where not free and fair, its Ramaphosa again who rushed to Zimbabwe to give Mnangagwa legitimacy while the rest of SADC was waiting for a Troika to deal with issue. South Africa must re-consider its foreign policy on Zimbabwe otherwise expect the whole nation to move into South Africa.

Because he is very privileged as compared to the South Africans he is refering to that his why he is talking like this

Thabo Mbeki is correct. Operation Dudula is giving South Africa a bad name. The problem in SA is corruption, not foreign nationals

Luckily we don’t have to take instructions from them, not even Mandela or Tambo so he’s just talking nonsense! These are our taxes & belongs to our citizens, no leader should tell us what to do with them! We can’t be carrying the whole continent while our people are suffering

Let Mbeki host them himself. We didn’t ask him to run businesses in Zimbabwe. This isn’t on us. #VoetsekANC

Funny he should say that because he did the most deporting of illegal foreigners during his term. Back in those days the only Africans who slipped under our radar were Mozambicans disguised as tsonga people. Back then we only Nigerians through Mr Ibu and Mo.

Udakiwe lo. "problems in SA were caused by South Africans" who continued to vote for his party whose main purpose was to loot

The old man has forgotten these quotes from his comrades! Mbeki must just enjoy his old age nje! What a mess! His ANC messed up 😆 🤣

Akanyi lo he most continue to take pictures ku old age home

Another corrupt BEE beneficiary who used his wife on deals. 2day Zanele is multimillionaire. It's very easy 2 talk frm the position of privilege. He can't even assist buy medication in hospitals with those millions. Him & his wife are ready 4 the grave. They don't even have kids

He is correct.

Voetsek! Mbeki go to hell, These forward are stealing medication and selling in their countries and you come here and defend them and their nonsense.

Mbeki u mogolo tata… don’t start us.

The same old man who refused to heed the advice of IFP leader Buthelezi in 2003 about the influx of illegal immigrants,want to blame ordinary citizens with the mess that was created by him.

No wonder Zumanites like malema called you aloof and it sticked. Mr President, with RESPECT, the people on the ground are feeling the PAIN you clearly can’t relate or understand. Illegal migrants are a PROBLEM…Operation Dudula has a point, please listen to them

Thabo during his term :
