South Africa seperated crime from Nationality. Zimbabweans are not criminals.

South Africa must Separate Crime from Identity: A Call to Action Against Criminal Behavior

As a long-time resident of South Africa, having lived among South Africans for over 20 years in various provinces, I am compelled to address a critical issue that threatens social cohesion between Zimbabweans and South Africans. A small fraction of Zimbabweans engaging in criminal activities has led to a misguided perception that all Zimbabwean immigrants are criminals. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Not every Zimbabwean in South Africa is a criminal, regardless of their documentation status. The majority of us are law-abiding citizens, contributing to the economy and society in meaningful ways. We are entrepreneurs, employees, and neighbors, just like our South African counterparts.

However, those who do engage in crimes like armed robbery and car hijacking, often in collaboration with South African accomplices, must be held accountable. These individuals are not victims, but villains who disrupt social unity and perpetuate evil spirits that frustrate our collective progress.

I urge the South African police to take a firm stance against corruption and bribery. Those caught committing crimes should be locked up without bail. It is essential to distinguish between crime and identity, ensuring that the actions of a few do not taint the reputation of an entire community.

As Zimbabwean immigrants, refugees, and businesses in South Africa, we must unite with our South African counterparts to fight crime. We must demonstrate our commitment to justice and our rejection of criminal behavior, regardless of its origin. If you witness or are aware of any criminal activity, please report it to the police. You can call 112 or 10111, both free numbers, and provide relevant information, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers, to aid in the swift arrest of culprits.

On behalf of Zimbabweans, I reject crime in all its forms, whether committed by immigrants or locals. I call for unity among races and tribes in countering crime. Together, we can create a safer, more harmonious society.

To my South African friends, I implore you: do not release immigrants accused of violent crimes, regardless of the circumstances. Let us work together to build a future where everyone can thrive without fear of violence or intimidation.
