Millions used to deport immigrants can build businesses and houses in South Africa 

Home Affairs spent R50 million in 5 months deporting undocumented immigrants from South Africa.

Millions being used to deport immigrants from South Africa can build companies and houses. More jobs can be created and lives can be improved. This money can be given to South Africans to create small businesses in townships.

Deporting immigrants from South Africa is working in the negative. Deported immigrants have their ties in South Africa, they will come back illegal or legal.

Home Affairs must document undocumented immigrants and reduce the operations to hunting criminals only.

Criminals, whether locals or immigrants, must be jailed. Crime has no nationality. Criminals must be punished severely, harsh punishment must be imposed. The death penalty must be imposed for violent crimes like rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, and murder.

Hunger and unemployment are causing too much anti-immigrant sentiment in South Africa. Too many people are impoverished, that’s why they start to receive messages of hatred against immigrants. 

Former SA President Mbeki’s foreign policies and double standards supported Mugabe’s destruction of Zimbabwe.

Former President Thabo Mbeki caused an influx of Zimbabweans to South Africa. Mbeki supported Mugabe’s destruction of farms and companies. Mbeki must be blamed for the current Zimbabwean-South African immigration crisis. Nothing is left in Zimbabwe to keep the youths. The current Zim government is trying to rebuild the country but it’s not working, investors are not putting in money.

South Africans are helping Immigrants and Immigrants are helping South Africans. Immigrants are paying millions in the form of rent to black South Africans. They are benefiting black South Africans, the middle class. This spirit of brotherhood and entrepreneurship must be encouraged.

South Africans are good people. The country is not xenophobic. There are only a few people who do that. The majority of South Africans are good.
