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 โ€” bombings carried out by the apartheid South African regime in retaliation for Zimbabweโ€™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 Limitedโ€™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 donโ€™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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” that is about self-hate, the internalised racism that drives some Africans to turn on their fellow Africans.

Our โ€˜international airportโ€™ had an in-depth interview with the British media in 1985. It was at the height of the apartheid state brutality and repression. He led a massive international campaign for comprehensive sanctions against the apartheid regime. The year 1985 marked a pivotal escalation in South Africaโ€™s anti-apartheid struggle, characterised by widespread mass protests, labor strikes, and intensified township resistance. By June, the UN Security Council urged member states to impose sanctions against the apartheid regime, precipitating a deepening political crisis. In response, PW Botha proclaimed a state of emergency to avert systemic collapse. The European Community and Commonwealth nations duly responded with economic sanctions. Until this moment, the US had extended unconditional political and economic backing to apartheid South Africa. It was only in 1986 under international pressure that the US imposed stricter economic measures against the apartheid regime. Winnie Mandela had been banished to Brandfort in the Free State. She defied the banning order and returned to Soweto to spearhead grassroots resistance against the regime. From 1985 onward, apartheid began to unravel. The state despite its attempts repression, it increasingly could not sustain its legitimacy and political stability. The real turning point came when FW de Klerk replaced PW Botha in 1989 and moved to open negotiations. In 1990, the ANC and other liberation organisations were unbanned, and Mandela was released from prison. Subsequent negotiations culminated in a transitional settlement wherein the enfeebled apartheid criminals ceded political power to the ANC while retaining de facto dominance over the economy. This negotiated criminal structure still persists today. Economic power remains concentrated among historical beneficiaries of the apartheid regime. Our economic liberation was sold at the negotiations table. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela did say that she felt betrayed. Chris Hani too opposed the negotiations and was murdered.

WATCH] On behalf of the African National Congress, I want to state that we a country of over 60 million. There are many people who come to our country and many come to our country to contribute to the wealth of our country and its progress. Many contribute positively in our country. There are people in our country who have taken it upon themselves to do things which the vast majority do not condone and this must not paint South Africans as xenophobic. Indeed we do have a challenge of illegal immigration in South Africa and itโ€™s not a problem unique to South Africa. There are many countryโ€™s affected by this. South Africa is a signatory of the Geneva Convention and we must deal with this challenge within the perimeters of the law. We canโ€™t deal with it with hatred. That is why government has adopted a program of action to deal with this particular challenge which the President has made a public announcement. We have called for law enforcement and calmness and follow the governmentโ€™s Action Plan on dealing with illegal immigration. We have made it very clear as the ANC, we cannot and should not be associated with anything that amounts to hate crimes. In this particular instance the majority of South Africans are people of Ubuntu and humanity. Because we too would not be free without the solidarity and assistance of countryโ€™s such as Mozambique in the fight against apartheid. Many people sacrificed such as Samora Machel the President of Mozambique and many combatants died here fighting against apartheid. #ANCinMozambique #ANCatWORK

During the apartheid era (1948โ€“1994), the United States government maintained a complex and often contradictory relationship with the South African regime. Initially, U.S. foreign policy prioritized Cold War strategy over human rights, viewing apartheid South Africa as a reliable anti-communist ally in Africa. From the Truman to the Reagan administrations, American leaders emphasized "constructive engagement," favoring quiet diplomacy over economic sanctions. This approach allowed major U.S. corporations to continue operating in South Africa, providing vital economic support to the apartheid state. Despite growing domestic and international pressure, the U.S. resisted stringent sanctions until the 1980s. Grassroots movements, student activism, and congressional lobbying eventually led to the passage of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, which was signed into law despite President Ronald Reagan's veto. This legislation marked a significant shift in U.S. policy and imposed sweeping economic sanctions on South Africa, including bans on new investment and imports of certain goods. While the U.S. government had long avoided direct confrontation with the apartheid regime, the 1986 sanctions played a pivotal role in isolating it economically and politically. The international community increasingly condemned apartheid as a crime against humanity, and the U.S. ultimately aligned itself with this global consensus. The pressure contributed to the dismantling of apartheid and the peaceful transition to democracy in 1994.

๐ŸŽฏM23 will be taught in South African military schools! Why? It was the first time since World War II that South African troops were captured by enemy forces. It was also the first time they were captured by a non-state armed group. South Africa has been in the DRC longer than the US was in Afghanistan. This expert notes that the South African government may have concluded there was nothing more it could do in the DRC, especially after the January 2025 rout. That is true. Sadly, while South Africans are reflecting on the condition of their army, which is a legitimate concern, they have refused to reflect on the purpose of their mission in the DRC. Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki would never have backed a regime bent on exterminating part of its population. They would never have supported a government that recruits the FDLR, a group formed by the remnants of genocidal forces. Never. The same is true for Nyerere. There was a time when South Africa (and Tanzania) offered the world a moral compass. That South Africa no longer exists. It has been replaced by corrupt, populist politicians who have forgotten their own liberation struggle and chosen instead to embrace an apartheid-like, genocidal regime in Kinshasa. I am talking to you too Julius Sello Malema ! The moral decay came first. The military defeat merely followed. As South Africa reflects, it should reflect on that too.
