'They came with machetes' - deadline looms for migrants to leave South Africa

[KulQkumba]

When it's politically convenient.

Isn't this always the case for politicians? Useless fsking leeches

You can say a lot about the lazyness about our populace, but we do Xenophobia pretty well.

Actually anything criminal we do well...

Illegal foreigners will always be scapegoats for any of the local issues. That is how it works in every country. Having said that, Government seems a bit serious about this now. I would like to think Mr. Schreiber is behind this initiative.

Have they improved border security as well? If not, then they are not serious about it.

The BMA (Border Management Authority) has been jacking up their equipment and procedures quite a bit since Leon Schreiber took over.

Many are leaving this week back to their countries, and they are confident that they will be back in a month or two.

I wonder if all these politicians are suddenly making a whole lot of noise because Oom Leon is that one oke in government who has actually been doing his fsking job and they just can't miss the opportunity of the #being-in-the-limelight-coz-of-someone-else's-hard-work bandwagon

Once a panga, always a panga ! African democracy at its best.

Lol, you are just being a worshipper though, how has he being doing a good job with so many illegal foreigners in the country?

Immigration is only starting to act now when there are threats of violence, they have been sleeping on the job all along with illegal foreigners freely roaming the streets

Not really, ActionSA is standing firm on its position, the EFF is standing firm on the side of illegal foreigners, the ANC is being their usual indifferent self, it is only the DA that has made a 360.

Everyone does xenophobia quite well except me even if I am part of populace.

Why do you say this? I'm no fan of the DA but google tells me the DA have always been against illegals and they've always criticized the gov for not securing our borders and for letting illegals run rampant.

Have they called them criminals before?

I don't know about the current useless lot but going all the way back to Mashaba... yes they did.

But other than that, the DA has always been against illegals and by definition all illegals are criminals.

The language and the choice of words is very deliberate to resonate with the time and prevailing mood.

Is this Zuma's spawn ?

There are plenty of Zumas in SA, who unfortunately have to be linked with the Zuma. But in this case it looks like association by marriage looking at the placement of the Zuma.

Times have indeed changed when experiment Mashaba is being touted as an example of DA official position now.

It was only in March 2026 when Zille called for arrest, prosecution and deportation. I don't see anything before that but one never knows really. Like current anti-immigration stance is allegedly political move from ANC, she could be just jumping on bandwagon.

Absolutely, Schreiber never publicizes and works silently in background while others take credit. Just like Andre Ruyter. We are blessed to have such hard workers.
