For the south african government its a perfect excuse to cover their failures ,when it comes to cheap labour most companies that pay less they employ locals look and big shops like Shoprite picknpay the problem is this government is looking for a scapegoat
Because your SA government supports Zimbabwe cruel Zanu Pf. That's why we run to SA. We dont want to be there. It's your government's fault. Mbeki Zuma and Rama.
Why is the Heading Xenophobia in South Africa..what is wrong with Goverment Fighting Illegal Immigration in SA..The whole World is Doing It..Even Scandanivian Countries Are Fed Up..!!
Uk and south Africa they are two different continent and we as Africa we have different rules with UK and mean if UK kill people we also have to do so me no
I love South Africa! They should control their borders properly. And only let those in that are really persecuted in their home countries. AT THE SAME TIME THEY SHOULD NOT FORGET TO FIGHT THEIR OWN CORRUPTION AND STRENGHTHEN INNOVATION TO BUILD A SOLID INNOVATIVE AND TRUSTWORTHY SOUTH AFRICAN ECONOMY!!!
The people interviewed are speaking rubbish, South Africa has a high illegal immigration population which needs to be dealt with. There are many legal immigrants who are highly skilled and contribute to economic growth, South Africans do not have a problem with them.
How dare they demand same rights as SAns. We are tax payers are they. Go to your governments and fight for their rights. Is our country the only one to come to. You don't complain when the Basotho king is making a 40million birthday and why that money is not used to revive Lesotho economy
I find this xenophobia label strange in a country where thousands are jumping borders and crossing rivers to come and reside in it? Who would put their lives in danger riding under trucks to come to a country where they know they are unwelcome? The truth is EVERYBODY in Africa wants to come to South Africa. It cannot accommodate the entire continent. And when this is communicated to those who force coming here, they cry xenophobia.
We have an estimated number of 15million illegal immigrants from all over Africa and a small number of South Asians,Zimbabwean foreigners alone are estimated to be 3-4million and they make babies like no tomorrow
Thats where the problem starts,South Africans should be put first we should be the first to claim from government resources this is our country after all.
You go to hospitals and see what those people are protesting. The electrical grid, the water is strained. Tax revenue is not reflecting the bloated population.
@@hencokotze2232 I think they haven't been fair towards us and making nonsensical arguments saying we Xenophobic so many of us are just owning it now. Ofcourse we aren't Xenophobic when we trying to uphold the law it just takes their stones away. But I do agree they are watering down the term when they muss use it for calling us Xenophobic. It's almost like calling everything racist when actual racism happens it not properly dealt with because we keep crying foul
All the explanation made by Hlenyiwe doesn't answer the questions asked. South Africa'ns are suffering in they country. People must fixed their government, we need space also to fix ours
I'm sure you don't even know what term bigotry means🙄, you just throwing it out there coz that's all you know when you deal with normal people resisting insanity 🙄
First of all you can't compares SA than other richest country you people are so rude no hospitality for your fellow African brother and sisters this is hate this is xenophobia stop xenophobia!!

Immigration laws all over the world exist for a reason. For instance, as a South African I cant just show up to New Zealand and stay indefinitely. It isnt xenophobic to hold people accountable for breaking the law and illegal immigration is against the law.
Hi you'll. Please check "border security" , you will see that in other countries one won't just enter illegal or without a reason. SA 🇿🇦 has pretended to be a generous country which is a laysus fair democracy, but this is killing us !!!
So they want the same SA rights to apply on them but don't want the same SA law on immigration and illegal immigration to apply on them? WTF ANC yintoni le enasifaka kuyo
People should respect the law of the land. When I travel to Africa 🌍, I respect the land of the law. Otherwise, I will be arrested. The same goes for my country, the US.
In which will South African be put first and prefared for services, jobs , Business, Healthcare services, Education in not in their native land South Africa
Ethiopian's and Somalians people are very hard workers you people get so hung up on what you can't have that you don't think for a second about whether you really want it.😮
Hlengiwe should count her blessings because she has a job. We have South African doctors sitting unemployed at home while foreign doctors are working in our hospitals. Surely, they don't share her sentiments.
Southern African communities should work together to creates Job opportunities establish quality immigration system rather than talking nonsense all the time cuz south Africa cannot do it alone due to weak economy and corruption.
Legal immigrants do come here, there are some really wealthy places here that people like to settle in but the costs of living is lighter but with precisely similar standards as europe or america, its a good number of areas but the rest of the country remains relatively poor
Yes, Americans and Europeans come on a 3-month Visa-free and never want to leave. Many came during the World Cup. Watch the South African news and you will see how they too get deported.
it's u who should be informed, America is rich but not the people, the cost of living in the US is high so the people come to SA coz it will be cheaper using the dollar
6:31Wow, is it the government’s responsibility to ensure that all illegal immigrants in the country receive free healthcare, free education, and occupy all low-entry jobs? Which country does that? Is South Africa under an obligation to be the Father Christmas of the continent and the world while our people go to bed hungry? This is all nonsense. We must put South Africans first, and we shouldn’t apologize for that.
Asylum seekers from Nigeria Bangladesh parkistan Zimbabwe Zambia Ghana Madagascar Angola lesetho Somalia Cameron Congo in hundreds of thousands is it really sustainable and far on a young country like South Africa with a high unemployment of over 35% come on guys be reasonable. Give SA a break😢
Not xenophobic, home affairs were not doing their work. They have allowed illegal immigration and it has become a massive problem when it comes to limited resources.
We don't want any reason why they leave their country mabahambe the time we leave our country SA we go to their countrys they asepty us because we were few and stay in camps please south Africans don't vote for ANC again this ANC must go down every time
Illegal immigration isn't xenophobic.
Stop saying that!

Is it xenophobia or racism to oppose illegal immigration?
Apparently the answer to that question depends on the skin color the person who’s doing it
