Go stand at Komatipoort on the Kruger side - just a stream of people walking from Mozambique
Not even a single army or border guard. THOUSANDS of people in a neat line just walking into SA
🤣🤣🤣
Seen it to many times at Komatipoort, i even think people believe there are two entrances that it's normal now.

Imagine one country having to hold Southern Africa on its shoulders
Lesotho should be 10 province of South Africa 🇿🇦 we can't have a country in the center of South Africa.
Of course u can .
Include eSwatini sommer
Mabahambe
Lesotho is another country, a sovereign state and is not part of South Africa. The Basotho and their leaders do not want to be part of SA. They have their own history and government
Idiots like you shouldn't make comments. Lesotho keeps rejecting you and keep desperately trying to make them part of you.
Basotho are South Africans, leave them alone...😂😂😂
The numbers are probably wrong because everyday people are crossing into our country without going through the system.
They are our people 😅😅
Xhosas, tswanas, ndebeles, sothos from bulawayo in zimbabwe are my people these people are south africans by origin.
@@luzukombuqu4976Is lesotho extinct? When did the suthus become South African? Try claiming to be a lesotho national and come back here and tell us about it.
No they are NOT South Africans wena sfebe se EFF.
@@siyabulelamlungwana8181 No they are NOT South africans nja ndini
Ethiopians, Somali, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are passing through easily.
Leave Basotho alone our problem here in South Africa is Bangladesh Somalians Pakistan and Nigerian
you forgot about Stilfontein
@@ramogohlotebatso5039yep he has forgotten
Couldn’t agree more!
Generalization is propaganda and it is dangerous
Nigerians is not even up to 00.0 percent and you are still talking nonsense from your stinking mouth
I think SADC has a problem ,this issue needs to be addressed by top leaders of SADC
Basotho are coming for the mines and robots ....we have no robots now
😂😂😂😂
O bua nnete. 😭🤣
We need a border wall
Usile fusek😂
@@katimbaKaterawhy are you cursing him instead of coming up with a solution to illegal immigration like he is?
Lesotho is surrounded by a single country.. They need different rules.. Drop that border but keep autonomy
Have u ever thought about it "where will we go if war breaks out here in south Africa? No where because of all this fighting and so on. Yes alot of people come here, bet u its because who wants malaria? There is no meds
What is this OBSESSION of foreign nationals about South Africa 😢😢😢😢😢😢
The land of milk and honey
@@elizemeissenheimer8345 but it's not even about that. It's been "idolized", just like America had been idolized by many for years. South Africans are the ones who are waking up from fantasizing America. This is idolatry.
@elizemeissenheimer8345 it's not even about that. They have "idolized" South Africa, just like America had been idolized by many for years. Only South Africans are waking up from fantasizing America. This is pure idolatry haaai
Not an obsession...a necessity. We would be doing the same if we had to
@@MusehanaH Nop. I think foreigners feel its their birthright to come and harass us here
Just showes u South Africa is a popular place to go. Why dont u make them pay tax? U get more revenue.
True in usa all illegal people are paying tax ,working in restaurants child care domestic
That's good thinking
If they open a business they must be forced to have a South African business partner
It's no easy because they come here to commit serious crimes
They don’t even tax many of their own citizens. SA has a population of 64 million yet only 7 million pay tax. And you can guess who the majority of those tax payers are.
No one talks about,
Illegal immigrants who are,
Chinese
Indians
Parkstans
In the Country only Basotho, Mozambique, Zimbabweans, Nigerians and other Africans natives because they are easy ones to call them names,
God bless
Thank you 💕...
Our country our prerogative! We hate you because you think you are entitled to be here.
@@thembinkosidube3918 it's crazy, that fellow Africans are called foreigner but not a Chinese
Millions, not thousands. The numbers are wrong. Chinese? Europeans?
Call the Freedom Front Plus. We need the apartheid police to handle boarders. Call them....that whole apartheid system needs to be applied at the boarders. Stop being reasonable to foreign nationals.
O mosotho calling another mosotho a foreign national. Funny stuff.
Apartheid😂😂😂😂 policeman you sick Cc orboy
Using the word “apartheid” is bound to cause offense but I understand your point otherwise
INDEED 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 we need them back to PROPERLY MANAGE our Porous borders.
No ways zim people are many you are not doing the good job
There are many but some have documents that were given by Mandela and Gatsha in 94 and again in 96 and ofcourse in 2010.
0:25
That is not what they are discussing here
Yes we are many so what
@stanleychipiti we all know majority of your people come here without papers,ba sokela Basotho
Just make Lesotho part of SA, And Eswatini.
I agree to that
😢
Yes I agree
Indeed, they just wasting our resources which should be used to focus on Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Not Lesotho,those haters,we can be shoped many of us.
Lesotho is SA last province 😂😂😂
That is crazy. Free State which is part of Lesotho, taken forcefully from our father and mothers is a prison and pain to our nation of Basotho. We are independent. Just give back our land
Also for swaz8 land give back mpumalanga
Correct We Are In Already
Was a South African not any more. They have their own litte countrt to live in.
Lesotho is what the Western Cape wishes to be...😂😂
But we hear of Zimbabwe more than others?
It’s just xenophobia against Zimbabweans
@@adams6798bull zimbos are everywhere in SA and most are undocumented
Because Zimbabweans are unruly and disruptive. They should do an audit of which foreign nationals are leading in numbers in jail cells.
Millions are in Sa already
@
That one is a propaganda number, if they are millions as you claim you should be able to hear Ndebele and Shona on every corner of SA.
Zimbabweans are only clustered in Cape Town and Gauteng that is it. There are more Mozambique, Lesotho, Congo and Malawians in SA than Zimbabweans, I can bet on that
Why is that most raids on jobs by home affairs are mostly arresting Malawians, Lesotho or Congolese and not Zimbabweans?
If you despise Zimbabweans in your country why renting them your houses, just stop simple as that.
And now Lesotho wants their land back because of they desperately want to be South African.
It's not even land back. There are Sotho people living ont he land who dont want to be part of Lesotho.
I think Basotho feels more entitled to SA than all immigrants 😂
The problem is we don't understand that this people are highly related in both countries; putting authorities at the border is never going to be a solution since there are lots of options to cross to both countries. No authorities patrolling, no rivers in between, no nothing to stop one from going to visit friends and family. this is just waste of state resources resources
😂
I mean, this is simple. South Africa and Lesotho just link their systems and share a database. Basotho people should just all be on the South Africa database. If they offend, both countries will be able to deal with them better.
Lesotho is our siblings😂😂😂😂
Don't worry about Basothos. Lesotho is in south africa anyway. Worry more about Zimbabweans, mozambicans, Malawians and Nigerians.
Because you relate more with them😢
😂😂he looks like them@@cedricvukeya3459
As a Mosotho, I am happy to announce that SA is my home either way 😂😂
@bothamoea5930 I like that, feel at home
Lesotho is in South Africa? 😂😂😂😂
Leave our BaSotho brothers n Sisters 😭😭😭😭

@ uNyoko loyo. You obviously don’t know history. Botswana n Sotho ppl are South Africans. Take your head out of your arse
They are foreigners.
Our Basothu sisters are very nice and tasty they got maaaaleerrbaa,😂😂😂😂
south africa is the mother of the country neighbors😂😂
We sounding just like USA at this point 😢
We're not there yet. But we'll be there soon. Hopefully.
Hopefully??
Nope, not anything near. I wish we were though. 😂
We are not even close. They should speed it up and clean our cities and towns
We are USA... do u really think you are sovereign... what a joke ma Brics
Lesotho must be included under South Africa no more banana countries plus Swaziland.
Our government is not that forward thinking
So now it's not Zimbabwean only who are boarder jumpers. I am shocked to hear that Zimbabwean are on number 3
@@esnathconstancemoyo3674 The Basotho have always been crossing, they are the ones who are doing illegal mining. The media was biased and not looking at what's happening around. Lesotho has had multiple coup d'etat, it is unstable it is obvious that affects the people and they will run away
of course, there will be too many of them, they have nowhere else to go from Lesotho. every direction is south Africa 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao they're literally land locked 😂😂😂😂wth? Where else can they even go?
Talk is eazy.....give back Basotho land(Free State+Matatiele) and as per UN stipulations ensure Lesotho is not completely landlocked by SA......so the guys can proceed to a 3rd country without traversing SA territory.....clear solution!!
Nope. Better idea is to turn it into a province of SA. They'll have access to the sea that way.

Imagine handing a developed Free State to Lesotho on a tray. They are incapable of developing that small land with its small population of 2m. We love Lesotho people but please don't irritate us with this topic
Lesotho/Basotho and swazis are south africans....The 2 countries in the stomach of South Africa...focus on real foreigners!!!!!
Leave these immigration nonsense brought by colonists, Basotho are South Africans.Africa is one
Lesotho is landlocked in South Africa, so Basotho are South Africans😅😅😅😅😅,we understand why the cross into our country
For context they are talking about processed people and not the unprocessed. You can't have numbers of people whom are not known are here

Why can't our government do what the us regime is doing?
Anc has to go coz they feel they owe African countries
@thabitharampheri3218 we are a failing nation .
zim is empty so were are they bullshit this
idziwo idzi
😂 you are addicted to Zimbabweans
Let's just take Lesotho & make it a province so they will move freely..
The Lesotho/South Africa border is like the Tropic of Capricorn line....It is an imaginary line 😂
Basotho are South Africans and South Africans are Basotho...noone can tell the difference 😂
We dont care abt the stats...what are you going to do to reduce this ridiculous influx?
Wait a sec. So Lesotho is not a South african province? I have been lectured today 😅
Howick has a whole township of basothus...nothing gets done about them being here illegally
Newcastle is worse.😊
They are filthy as hell
Funny coz we see more Zimbabwean...wrong stats because zimbabwe is empty today
There is Nothing You can do With Basotho Because We Are In South Africa Period
There's only two solutions. Either you accept annexation or get sent back to Lesotho.
Lesotho , Zimbabwean, Mozambiquean , Swazi , brothers and sisters we are not aligned with the current government, we are captured, we have no say.
They are south african. Lesotho and Swaziland must come under the SA flag.
We dont want to be part of south africa so stop using us as a puppet and fucous in your country' from a swailand woman
15 million illegal immigrants in South Africa, the others go to Europe.
South Africa for South Africans.
Europe for Europeans.
Basotho , Mozambique and Zimbabweans are a headache to Mzansi
True but why do you leave out the Chinese, Indians , Pakistans etc why do you attack black Africans? They also come illegally and sell poisoned food to the people in the country.
Lesotho is into SA... Lesotho must be part of SA or it will be used as a spring board to attack SA
58 000 ilegal imigrants. 50 000 Basotho undocumented .
Basotho 2400 ,undesirable.
Basotho leading imigrants in South Africa.This is a problem.
Basotho are Us, We are Basotho. They can come to Mzansi as they like deal with brothers in Frontline states
What are you doing with all this information, are you deporting them or you just want to sing to media 😮
Why do we have borders between Lesotho and South Africa...
Because we are 2 distinct countries. Why didn't you ask that during Apartheid.
@nomagcisacawe3297 😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 🤣
Mxm please leave Basotho alone we know the truth 😅
I dont understand why Basotho are seen as foreigners in South Africa
Shame On You Masiapato For Saying We As Basotho We Are Undocumented Foreigner
Some people here are just obsessed with Zimbabweans😂😂
Because Zimbabweans are also obsessed with SA.
@sphulasikabopha there is no such
@@yayaamlala8875Thousands are intercepted daily entering our country illegally.
I know a guy from Lesotho who had to go back home because his study visa had expired. Home Affairs has no favourites
Same, I know a girl in varsity who had to return to Swaziland, I was shocked
@@trell535 it's not shocking, they came in on a student visa
And so?
Our Country must look very close to Lesotho insurgents,they have a mission.
I don't believe that...bit then, everyone is a proxy to someone these days. Keep your friends closer
🇱🇸 top dangerous zama zama's in the world
We always hear about Zimbabweans as if they are the only illegals, I always knew that Mozambique and Lesotho even Malawi were leading.
Even most of menial jobs are mostly done by Malawians or Mozambique.
Zimbabweans are mostly traders and into trades like plumbing, construction, engineering etc.
It's because we made a mistake and still are making it of only thinking every foreigner is a Zimbabwean I have seen and heard people pointing at Malawians, Zambians and Congolese saying they are zims
Zimbabweans are doing our laundry and gardens what engineering are you talking about?
They cause more chaos leading them is Nigerians. Lesotho men only really end up in the mines and the women as house help.
@
I am an Electrical engineer graduated from MIT, USA myself what are you talking about?
Of course you will find one or two doing that and I would say they were not supposed to be in SA in the first place Zimbabwe is not that bad, actually besides sanctions it’s the best country in Africa.
So you are arguing that you don’t find Zimbabwean engineers, you are an idiot, a dickhead on that matter
@@gxobinjasambemntungwa9694
Every foreigner to them or someone or dark skin is either a Nigerian or Zimbabwean. These MF think lowly on Zimbabweans. Matter of fact there are more Malawians, Congolese and even Mozambique than Zimbabweans
And the Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and all of those coming from those countries? They are all over the show, walking like bosses around as if SA belong to them
Its just a hard thing to come from a poverty stricken country mainly caused by corruption from leaders....DRC congo now not stable cz pple are fighting for resources......Africa need patriotic leaders...
Nothing will stop Basotho from coming freely to South Africa. Matsoho a ya hlatswana. Basotho ba thusane haholo nakong ea khatello.
Something stopped them before 1994 😂
You can't make Basotho stay in that small country. And they are basically South African.
They can come its fine, they one of us
Niyasi jwayela nina 😡👎👎👎👎
You see SANs My people from Botswana prefer this semi arid country of ours, yes some of our people are there legally amd illegally but blame apartheid government, it literally split villages because they wanted molopo river from Ramatlabama to south west of Botswana, your country divided families, so imagine being told you have to use passport to visit your aunt? Its crazy.
Well u be in that line too running for a better life if it is as u on the other side. I ask myself every day " where will i go to if war breaks out in south Africa
Where is Malema? I wonder how happy he is with this.
That sell out! I heard him complaining about illegal AK 47s in the country that his foreigners are bringing here, i was so annoyed and shocked!😏
He is stroking himself hearing these numbers😂

Incompetence
So what you going to do about it.Come to East London .😮😮
Lesotho nationals and basotho nationals are two different things
People from many countries just walked in. They wait for the guards to sleep cos they so drunk. Then they just walk through. This is from a first hand account. Let's see whether you act on this
Everybody is a foreigner here including those who call themselves rightful owners, all people came from central africa
What about the large amount of Somalians that are in the Western Cape , especially in Bellville. ? How many are there in our country legal and illegal
Lesotho is a joke.. Those people are our relatives period.. Trace it and you'll find you have uncles and aunts there... lesotho is just 30 355 km² of Soth Africa.
Integration of South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini is long overdue
Only them though
Namibia and the Ndebele part of Zimbabwe are cool too.
What are they crossing because we are borderless with no security
Useless so-called borders
What nationality is Cyril
This is a very good question...I have been asking for those who can search to please search about Cyril ramaphosa's nationality
He is a South African

As mosotho in south aftica.i would like more basotho to come to south aftica.this country belong to basotho.gauteng must be full of basotho not zim.malawi.mosambik.if you are mosotho you are still suffring in lesotho dont be fool.come to gauteng your original roots
There aren't enough Sotho people to do that. South Africa has almost 3 times as many Sotho people as Lesotho.
Okay Ndebeles from Zimbabwe? Their roots are also in SA...what about them? The Swazi people, the sothos etc all these people were part of SA. Too much has happened to bring them back. The economy won't survive that. The tsongas from limpopo are originally from Mozambique they came during the 19th century. So many people share roots but we are too far gone to bring/take anyone back.
Why Africans only
This border thing in my Africa is irritating me...
OK then go live somewhere else this is South Africa
MONEY TALK PAY THEM THEN YOU CAN COME IN SOUTH AFRICA😢
Basotho are South Africans 😂 leave them alone, Lesotho is literally inside RSA. Basically a province
Ka…k dis Baie meer net 900 Malawian’s? Much more. At least half of Zimbabwe
These numbers aren't adding up.
Stop the BBBBB LAWS

LESOTHO is part of freestate ..😮how we illegal but we inside SA 🤪
So we are only 900 Malawi do better 😂
