Hi Lydia, im also congolese but lives in SA, I want to start the process to move to canada, can you share the process and route that you took, where should i begin.
I am South African, born and raised in South Africa and as a woman I no longer feel at home in South Africa. I don't feel safe, I don't see stability, I don't feel I will get economic freedom in South Africa. I don't even believe democracy exists in South Africa anymore because it is very much a select group who are in control and holding all the keys and essentially keeping South Africa for themselves only. So it's not only about being a foreign national.
Hi Busi! I am a student here in Canada,am from Kenya and am residing in British Columbia i wanted to ask you do you know if it’s possible to change my student visa to a different type of visa like work visa or any visa that will make me stay thanx?
I am with you on this busi, especially when it comes to xenophobia, I totally agreed on what you said. Who as a african can said this land is mine because we are all coming from somewhere in Africa. You will see even people from different countries speak the same language. I am in south Africa since 2017 and I still feel it. I am married to a south African that I met in my country so this is the reason that I am here but it's very difficult. In term of staying on a spousal visa for years and you are not allowed to work it's very frustrating and this is the reason why I want to move to Canada. I need to find myself, work etc and those immigration programs are just the opportunities that we need.
Hi Bucy, I checked my score and eligibility for express immigration and it is promising. May I ask, how difficult or easy is it to find a job in Canada just to get by while waiting for "thee job". I know this depends on different variables but just in general. Is it possible that I can come there and not find a job for like a year? . ...sorry for this question coz I realize it may be subject to too many factors
We managed to secure jobs within a month after we moved. Longest I’ve heard it take someone I’ve met to find a job after moving was 4 months but like you mentioned, there’s a lot of variables at play and the experience will differ for everyone.
8:37 unephutha Busi, there is tension with other races in SA as well. We dont treat them any different. Outgroup and ingroup will always have tensions and issues, e.g. Muslim dominated and outgroup.
@@busi.global SA are not animals to go around attacking anything because its foreign. People will have had enough of their crime which eventually affects the communities ( cable theft , car theft etc ). People will have had enough of Africans disregard of SA laws just because they are black like us. 1. Will you ever go to Zimbabwe, Mozambique etc without proper documentation just like their citizens do here? 2. Will you ever go to those countries and start producing your own documentation just like they do here. 3 Can you ever go to Malawi and start invading land they you have no idea who owns it and start building your home. 4. Can you go to Kinshasa and make demands to their government and if you dont get your way you start living on the pavement like they did in Brooklyn and CapeTown when they wanted to be taken to Canada. 5. Can you ever go to Zimbabwe and start digging their abandoned mines and call yourself Zamazama. Do you find white foreigners do the above. In the work settings we fight them with everything we have, dont be mistaken. I fought a Zimbabwe mlungu with every fiber of my being. The things that foreigners expect from SA and its citizens are ridiculous. Mina I suggested that people who have left SA say less about things they have no knowledge of or experience of.
Arg really hate that Chichi didnt have the best experience here in SA. This Xenophia hate is just to vile, as black people we need each in order to build our own communities.
IKR! It’s really terrible to hear another black person being treated badly especially by other black people when they haven’t even done anything bad 😞 and we end up losing collectively at the end of it all! South Africa just lost a highly skilled individual who was positively contributing to the growth of the country and overall a really great human being. Xenophobia is robbing the very same people who perpetuate it and they don’t even realize it! 😓
I think it is also unfair to expect S.A. to be perfect, especially when they come from places where Tribalism is at its peak. Yes, Everywhere you go you will meet ignorant people but I believe it's not in a way that we could generalize for the entire country. Speaking of Berlin conference, It said that some of my relatives happened to be going to fetch the cows on the other side of the river when they came back there was already a fence😂😂 that's how they ended up being Zimbabweans, Botswanan and Zambians.
I don’t think anyone expects perfection in any place but to constantly feel like you’re not welcomed in a place you live in can take its toll on anyone. Chichi was not talking about the entire country but sharing her personal experiences living in SA, I think there’s a very big difference there. I’ve heard a lot of those stories where people just one day learnt they belonged to a totally different country and I don’t think a lot of Africans are even aware of that history 🥺 I’ve heard people in SA say there’s Zimbabweans who change their last names to match names in South Africa just to “appear South African” when it’s not even the case but they just don’t know.
@@busi.global True, I am not denying her experience, it wouldn't be fair to deny someone's lived experience. I wanted to show where we are at the moment as a race/human race itself. History cures ignorance.
Its a sad reality that we hate our brothers and sisters. Self Hate. We need to free ourselves from the divisions that were made by colonizers. I am saddened by Chichi's experience as a South African. The sad thing is, if she had an American Accent the treatment was going to be different.
It really is sad. And the number of people from either North America or Europe who are living in SA, especially in Cape Town, illegally is alarming but people don’t seem to care. They are driving the cost of living up for locals and South Africans don’t even realize it 😥 The self gate is really deep, we don’t want anything “African” even if it might actually be helping us more than it’s harming us.
Ahambe kahle udade. We are tired of being gaslighted and made to feel guilty to be born in SA and protecting what our forefathers fought for against any colonizers of any color.
Look up the Berlin Conference of 1884 - 1885 to understand what the colonizers did when “carving up” countries in Africa without any representation from African people. The divide amongst African people was deliberate and we are upholding it long after the colonizers have “left”; hurting ourselves more than anything. If you don’t want to know what it was about, that’s also your decision to make!
@@busi.global I know about Berlin Conference and no country in Africa has declared in null and void. They only want to declare it void in SA. Botswana protect their territory. Nigerians do the same. Swati etc. Let other countries declare it void first.
Why would anyone want to feel at home in a foreign country? Even if I were to live in Botswana, Lesotho, Swatini, even if they can speak similar languages to us they can never be home. Lastly I dont think its the responsibility of SA to make anyone feel home. I married a none SA, lived in a foreign country and believe me they don't make us feel at home in their countries. They welcome you, but never make you feel home. We are gaslit as SA into opening our spaces and stretch ourselves to accommodate Africans and they never do that in gheir countries.
I live in a foreign country, I wanted to feel at a home and I do (otherwise I would have left and went somewhere else)! I personally wouldn’t be shocked to be treated badly in other African countries as a South African looking at how we treat them in SA. And the fact that this bad treatment is usually reserved specifically for other African migrants is worse! People coming from other parts of the world are not looked at the same way by a lot of South Africans who seem to have a problem with other Africans being in South Africa.
@@busi.global lived in the GCC countries ( Arab countries) they have firm boundaries. We know it's not our home. As black SA we dont want other colonizers with the same skin as ours. During apartheid we went to their countries to ask for help and we never colonized anyone by looking for a permanent home in their countries. We cannot be forced to bend over backwards at our expense. If I go to UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman I am not going their to find a home, I go there to make money and return. Chinese, Pakistanis we push against them too. I wouldn't mind being pushed back in those countries when I go there to settle. Another African should not a settler or colonizers, we should go to do business, learn, grow, share knowledge and return. Wena sisi since you now have a new citizenship dont try and dictate to us who are left behind on what's best for us.

They should open their countries to every Africane who wants to access their countries then we will talk. Why do we get to open about Berlin Conference when in SA. Does Zambia open its borders to anyone. Theh push against Congolese as we speak, dont let them fool you.
Hello Busi, it is very nice program that you have presented for us. If we have some particular questions to ask you. How will get hold of you? some of my questions personal, please let me know if you have email address or some other online plat form to discuss with my questions. Thank you
