I lived in South Africa once for a total of 5 Years in Germiston, and can tell you that South Africans feel overwhelmed by foreigners in their neighborhoods. Their sentiments are very much understood. Their Government should have taken a proactive approach to limit the influx of people. I left a long time ago after realizing we are living on a time bomb. South Africans have a genuine concern and they are feeling that they have been let down by their government and its true. This situation is bad and it needs a collective effort without that, many lives will be lost.

All citizens from every African country should strongly demand to their own governments better conditions for work and prosperity. Since, this is the main cause for the force inmigration and brain drain.
What if corporations from rich countries built facilities for the extraction of l resources employng locals? I mean proper facilities with safety measures, decent pay, decent working hours etc.
I’m not anti immigrant by any means but each country can only realistically take so many immigrants until they are overwhelmed. This especially true in a country like South Africa that isn’t rich to begin with.
Yes true. But compared to it's immediate neighbors, South Africa is rich Actually. Ordinary citizens in all African should come together and form one great conglomerate to challenge the various gvts one by one

@@ayobampilo5762 you know it's mostly the white colonializers who are to blame for your poverty not your fellow africans right? How did South Africa get so extremely brainwashed?
It’s bloody nonsensical to say they are Xenophobic. I’m a Nigerian born Londoner but since i actually lived in Durban and Cape Town 6 years in total I feel I need to stick up for South Africans whom I find to be the most welcoming people ever. They have an immigration crisis I believe with basically boarders that are undermined every second of day. CBD in Durban and Joburg are fully occupied by immigrants who some do awful things. Any one no matter which country you from would be disturbed by this.
Why can't continental Nigerians ever think and talk like this but instead always wan't to say we hate them which is untrue considering we never have any issues with Nigerians who are born and grow up in the diaspora I'm honestly starting to think living in a well functioning country opens up people's eyes and understanding when it comes to issues like this...much love my brother and don't ever believe that South Africans hate Nigerians it's the ones from the continent(not all) that like to cause trouble abroad
South Africa has a population of 60 million citizens. But there are approximately 7 million illegal Zimbabweans in SA. Last week Monday 700 illegal Zimbabweans were caught and arrested at the border. That's 700 people crossing the border illegally in a space of only 24 hours. Imagine how many attempt to cross per day, month, year, or even decade. Its honestly overwhelming and if anyone in the world doesn't see a problem with that them they are clearly part of the problem. South Africa is at 35% unemployment, while Zimbabwe is at only 6% unemployment. Let that sink in.... Zimbabweans have plied themselves in cheap labour and accept a third of what South Africans expect as a daily wage. This is a very serious topic which needs Zimbabweans to head back home and rebuild their country. They recieved independence 14 years before South Africa. Something has to show for all those years. Zimbabwean men and women must stand up and stop burdening other countries social welfare, and socio-economic spaces.
This is well said but South Africa isn't building their own country. There's too much fraud and scarcity of investment because of it. We all know Malema's motives and he has made it clear what he wants to do with SA. The problem is his party keeps on getting bigger and bigger. He becomes president then SA will be the next Zimbabwe and our own people will be illegal immigrants in other countries. The only thing is the rest of the world will remember SA for their xenophobia.

As a Nigerian, I understand this, South Africa is the most open country in the world apart from Nigeria. Dudula is about the people reacting to dangerous happenings on the soil. what these undocumented immigrants do, is appalling and must be checkmated. As a Nigerian, I have visited SA several times. If you see what these undocumented immigrants do, it's quite horrifying. The ANC led govt should step up and serve the people. This is not Xenophobia,it's the people stepping up to take charge and fix their nation where the govt have failed abysmally. I love and respect SAs. However, many accusations of drug dealings and peddling levelled against Nigerians, are not accurate. Its the white SAs and Tanzanians who control the trade and also armed robbery incidents. Its just that, Nigerians are numerous, hence, are easy targets. Many foreigners commit crimes and claim to be Nigerians. Beautiful SAs deserve to be respected and given top priority in their homeland. The govt must stand up and take charge and return SA to her pedastal of glory. You don't expect a noble battle hardened people who endured and fought against the brutalities of apartheid and before that, the discrimination s from white minority since 1652 to now endure another set of nonsensical trash from someone criminally minded immigrants. No way. God bless SA and her people.

Those who have problem with Operation Dudula, they must take down their borders and also send invitation to millions of illegal immigrants that are staying in South African to their home. Let's see how that will turn out.
No they should not, but Angola should send the South African government a bill of at least US $200 billion for suffering the war of liberation for these ingrates; Zambia and Mozambique should also take their pounds of flesh in the amount of at least US $75 billion each, and Tanzania at least US $40 billion. Why did those countries have sacrifice so much in economic and human terms for such violent xenophobes?
The problem is not about illegal immigrants they just don't like any foreigner illegal and documented they think the absence of foreigners their lives will change they blame the wrong people. Foreigners are not leading the country

It's not Xenophobic, South Africans r tired of crimes commited by foreigners, foreigners settle for lower wages nd further advance the xplotation by employers. Many foreigners dnt pay tax in SA. Foreigners must comply wth SA immigration laws and rsect SA laws
And if Europeans say the same thing Africans start screaming racism and they have a right to go anyway.. what absolute hypocrisy ..Africa is full of trash like this..
South Africa has the highest unemployment rate in the world (35% which means 35 in 100 of us are unemployed) but for some reson someone leaves their country to look for a job in South Africa. Still trying to wrap my head around that. I dont condone the violence but I understand why it happens.
Foreigners don't take your jobs, they actually create business' and invest in South Africa. The unemployment crisis is caused by corruption in your country
I fully support this operation, law enforcement officers are corrupt in this country together with their seniors( congress members). This is fully okay with me and all undocumented foreigners should leave and the government should stop hiring foreign simply because their cheap labor, there's 71% of graduates who need those jobs.
It's not "anti-immigrant", we just want people to come to here legally, and obey our laws. You can not come to South Africa, with a non-scarce skill, and sell sweets on our sidewalks, or work in our restaurants and farms, for pittins. The law clearly states, you need at least R1 million investment, or being employed by a company, on the basis of your scarce skill, or you are here on a tourist visa. End of story. We are not "pan-Africans", you can not emotionally manipulate us anymore, we don't care anymore.

Operation Dudula is not a xenophobic movement. Dudula are not vigilantes either. The government precipitated this situation because SA has become a corporately owned country. Foreign governments that invest in SA or where SA invests in them, lay down conditions to the SA government to allow their people in SA. SA citizens have no say in their future. Failed states like Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Eswathini amongst a few have failed their citizens, so they run to SA without papers. Drug dealers and criminials from failed states have also joined hands in crime in SA making life for SA locals unbearable
The solution to those problems is not to attack immigrants. Shame on South Africans for this nonsense. To end the fascist regime of apartheid only to become the oppressors instead. You are shamefully fulfilling the racist prophecies of pro-apartheid Afrikaaners.

South Africa has laws and South Africans will not only follow them, they will make sure everyone follows them. Break a law and receive your punishment.
This is not the way to go about illegal immigration, you can deport illegal immigrants to their country, there's no need for all this military exercises, this also happens in Europe , America, Asia etc . no need for too much talk just deport them instead of shouting and making a whole headline out of a small issue, don't even know why Africans are hard hearted towards each other.

If a person commits crime and is caught by an angry mob, there is no need to ask for papers because that person will be killed there and then, whether they are South Africans on not. Legal or not.

South Africa is going to be far worse with its collapse because there is nowhere to run. You watch what happens with an armed population who are used to violence when the food runs out. I personally believe millions are going to die in SA and you are now in the first stage of the collapse. You have no electricity, which means no mining and mass unemployment leading to desperation. As it goes, it's predicted that a billion will be dead by the end of 2023 due to global fertilizer shortage created by this little war in Europe. Zimbabwe has stopped the production of fertilizer due to power cuts also. This is coming to you if you like it or not.

How could they’re government keep them safe if they ran away from they’re country and the second thing is tht Africans forgot about the Struggle, Zimbabweans should’ve asked South Africans for help to overpower they’re government, not to run away and take away opportunities for other people.

Report about Kgomotso Diale, the farm murders, the 7 raped and murdered women in Limpopo...What is not reported is the violent crimes committed by some undocumented foreign nationals, the constant arrest of Zimbabweans smuggling explosives into the SA, the massive critical infrastructure destruction etc. The reality is that SA like any other country has a budget for resources and limited resources, which are overwhelmed by folks are not accounted for. An example is the overburdened healthcare system which results in a degraded services for all as there are not enough resources because it must now cater for unplanned masses. Furthermore, the country has a dwindling tax base needing to support the masses, which is unsustainable. Operation Dudula and PutSouthAfricaFirst movements are always accompanied by the police and explicitly call out law enforcement to do their jobs and enforce existing laws of the country so how can they be vigilante groups?
Kgomotso was killed by foreigners, the media won't say anything. A Zimbabwean murdered and raped 7 women in North West, media says nothing. Zimbabweans must find a way to solve their issues without burdening South Africans
I feel the pains of the South African people. I completed my PhD in SA and I could relate with this issue. SA people ain't xenophobic, they are just facing immigration crisis. Regardless of the assistance rendered by the other African countries during apartheird, SA people sacrificed and bled and died for their freedom. We must respect them! But I implore them to prevail upon their government to straighten out the loopholes in their immigration policy and porous borders. I know that SA is a beautiful country with a relatively better economy than what obtains in some other African countries. This reality has made travelling to SA to be an easier choice for some Africans compared to demanding for a better governance in their own countries. President Ramaphosa strikes me as a wise man and he should please help talk sense into his counterparts that are presiding over the affairs of African nations. Enough of these shame! We can do better as Africans! You don't get to see Moroccans, Rwandas, Beninoise, or Ghaniansa desperately trying to migrate to other countries, simply because they have a working government. Immigration should be a matter of aspiration and not a matter of desperation. Africans should not be desperate to leave their countries. Enough of the senselessness and insensitivity on the part of the African leaders! Kind regards to my SA brothers and friends. Special regard to Abigail Ramudzuli and Lutendo, thanks for making my stay in SA a worthwhile experience.

I lived in South Africa once for a total of 5 Years in Germiston, and can tell you that South Africans feel overwhelmed by foreigners in their neighborhoods. Their sentiments are very much understood. Their Government should have taken a proactive approach to limit the influx of people. I left a long time ago after realizing we are living on a time bomb. South Africans have a genuine concern and they are feeling that they have been let down by their government and its true. This situation is bad and it needs a collective effort without that, many lives will be lost.

South Africa has a population of 60 million citizens. But there are approximately 7 million illegal Zimbabweans in SA.
Last week Monday 700 illegal Zimbabweans were caught and arrested at the border. That's 700 people crossing the border illegally in a space of only 24 hours.
Imagine how many attempt to cross per day, month, year, or even decade. Its honestly overwhelming and if anyone in the world doesn't see a problem with that them they are clearly part of the problem.
South Africa is at 35% unemployment, while Zimbabwe is at only 6% unemployment. Let that sink in....
Zimbabweans have plied themselves in cheap labour and accept a third of what South Africans expect as a daily wage.
This is a very serious topic which needs Zimbabweans to head back home and rebuild their country. They recieved independence 14 years before South Africa. Something has to show for all those years. Zimbabwean men and women must stand up and stop burdening other countries social welfare, and socio-economic spaces.
You ve said it all, anyone in their right senses and definitely not part of the problem surely understands the plight of SAns.
60 million South Africans, 70 million people in South Africa.

This is well said but South Africa isn't building their own country. There's too much fraud and scarcity of investment because of it.

As a Nigerian, I understand this, South Africa is the most open country in the world apart from Nigeria. Dudula is about the people reacting to dangerous happenings on the soil. what these undocumented immigrants do, is appalling and must be checkmated. As a Nigerian, I have visited SA several times. If you see what these undocumented immigrants do, it's quite horrifying. The ANC led govt should step up and serve the people. This is not Xenophobia,it's the people stepping up to take charge and fix their nation where the govt have failed abysmally. I love and respect SAs.
However, many accusations of drug dealings and peddling levelled against Nigerians, are not accurate. Its the white SAs and Tanzanians who control the trade and also armed robbery incidents. Its just that, Nigerians are numerous, hence, are easy targets. Many foreigners commit crimes and claim to be Nigerians.
Beautiful SAs deserve to be respected and given top priority in their homeland. The govt must stand up and take charge and return SA to her pedastal of glory. You don't expect a noble battle hardened people who endured and fought against the brutalities of apartheid and before that, the discrimination s from white minority since 1652 to now endure another set of nonsensical trash from someone criminally minded immigrants. No way. God bless SA and her people.

Every country puts their citizens first, when South Africans want that they are labeled xenophobic. When south Africans want our law enforcement to do their jobs, they are labeled xenophobic. All major cities are a crime zone, it's not safe for our kids but we are called xenophobic for complaining about crime.
It's frustrating to hear biased reporting like this because you don't understand how difficult it is to live in South africa right now, our quality of life is dropping, these illegal foreigners life is improved because they are used to worse conditions in their countries. Why do we have to suffer in silence in our country???
😂😂😂😂😂😂Exactly Mgabadeli I dont remember we ever having a meeting to unite it just happened, the darkest part is that it happened in our country and we never got the memo!!!
@@lungelomkhize5816 I tell you Khabazela, I didn't vote for all Africa to unite in SA. Imagine how many countries everyone passed to get to SA. Our resources are depleted, as we speak I have no electricity due to load shedding.
You can blame the leftist in america for this.
I agree with you 💯

South Africa it's not the headquarters of Africa. Every citizen must focus on their own country and force their government to develop their countries instead of running to South Africa
Say that to Zimbabweans not all Africans running to SA
We are all African but please people stay in your on country

Yes, please
Im loving these comments debunking DW' "Xenophobia in South Africa" statement. The world finally sees that South Africans aren't wrong and it's the media that claims these operations are xenophobic.
If you are beating foreigners to death , and you do not see it as xenophobic, I do not know what is then.
I'm all for orderly system that prioritize the local domestic workforce. But I just want to know,🔺 how does these mobs know who's illegal and who's not? Do they ask for papers??🧐 They seem to attack foreigners randomly. .... Since South Africa's development is largely due to it citizens of European and Asian roots "Afrikaans" and Indians, I hope you keep in mind the benefits of a smart immigration policy, while restricting the low skilled immigration and of course, stopping illegal immigration which is an insult to the law. 👉🏽BTW, no need to vigilant mobs.
Understandable. If the law can't or won't do it, then the people will do it.
But maybe too brutal?
Exactly it's people who fought for freedom in this country, if government can't do it then it's our country we gonna do it

Please do another report on south Africans experience with immigrants legal or illegal... All reports should be fair
Ms Leolo my sister. Don't trust these news platforms. They are lying. Operation dudula is not about removing foreigners, it's about removing illegal immigrants from South Africa. I not going to stop but I HIGHLY recommend another news channel than this one.
The reporter booked some fancy hotel in the plush sandton city in the morning he traveled to the site to capture what we have just watched.
He knows nothing about what ordinary South Africans are going through on a daily basis.
Just like those rich people who live in the gated estates, crime and poverty are just foreign to them.
Exactly
So how do you fix that? being poor being rich, how do you change your status? Next to follow will be isolation as a country and the little you are fighting for will be gone. so what? government must do this, do that, this way, that way …. you people need miracle from government or what???
@@kibcamp8006 we worked low paying jobs to get the kids to school and take care of the family, now those jobs are taken by "illegal immigrants".. also note that SA has the highest unemployment rate in the world but we are slowly solving that but now all of a sudden all we just working on is being taken by illegal immigrants by taking low pay and pushing us to the side.. all the companies now want cheap immigrants because they are greedy and the government does not enforce the law.. the people have the right to take matters in to their own hands.. now our children are starving and they can't concentrate at school so they can do better in life.. we were patient with the government but now that patient has been taken in vain..

South Africa has the right to defend their borders from people who don't belong in their country, but there is a sorry lack of facts in this story and alot of hate and stereotypes from these dudula protesters.
South Africa is the only home we know and we never want to see ourselves have to leave the country for greener pastures we love our country more than life itself... Viva Operation Dudula viva!!! Our laws will be respected.

@@kellyjayosbourne9846 Count South Africa out.
@@kellyjayosbourne9846 speak for your country
As a South African I can tell you for free operation Dudula is about getting rid of illegal foreigners. It’s not targeting all foreigners. It’s about foreigners that are here illegally!! Committing crime and not following the rule of law in SA.
do you ever see the kind of language dudula people for all foreigners in general, words like kwerekwere start to pop up and even death threats
The area is a basket case of corruption. The top 1% live behind walls, the poor live in ditches. Somehow Zimbabwe manages to stand out as the biggest failure in a neighborhood of failures.
Thank goodness I don't live in a country where personal security is an ever present problem. The cops in my neighborhood don't ask for bribes to do their jobs. If a rich man does a crime, his advantage is his money and the massive legal team he can afford, but at least he still has to go through the process of defending himself instead of just having my family executed.
The first fair and successful country in Africa, if that ever happens, will be crushed by illegal immigration from it's failure neighbors.
SA and Botswana are already over run by Zimbabweans
Zimbabweans now the most failed nation in Africa

There is something spiritually wrong in Africa.
That’s useless you’re saying, am a Namibian and we have a lot of South Africans should we chase them away from our country since they’re chasing our brothers from other African countries? If it’s so than let South Africa be alone out of Africa we close our borders and they close theirs
@@movingforward.6221 It is impossible to close the borders, and people will always go to where the money is. People just want to live a good life if they can.
If their government makes living a good life hard because their government is corrupt or incompetent, they will move. Only when lots of nations in Africa adopt similar well thought out laws to benefit people (education, freedoms, fair laws applied equally to all) will Africa improve. Right now, if one nation starts doing well, so many millions of people will show up, where will they live? The value of labor is destroyed, businesses will pay so much less because everyone is willing to just work for food when they are hungry and the streets are clogged with other hungry people.
How could they’re government keep them safe if they ran away from they’re country and the second thing is tht Africans forgot about the Struggle, Zimbabweans should’ve asked South Africans for help to overpower they’re government, not to run away and take away opportunities for other people. This is why Xenophobia won’t end until Zimbabweans realise they have to fight for they’re country, not to fight for living in a country where they’re not wanted.
ADOS in America understand South Africans. Do what you have to do.
Report about Kgomotso Diale, the farm murders, the 7 raped and murdered women in Limpopo...What is not reported is the violent crimes committed by some undocumented foreign nationals, the constant arrest of Zimbabweans smuggling explosives into the SA, the massive critical infrastructure destruction etc. The reality is that SA like any other country has a budget for resources and limited resources, which are overwhelmed by folks are not accounted for. An example is the overburdened healthcare system which results in a degraded services for all as there are not enough resources because it must now cater for unplanned masses. Furthermore, the country has a dwindling tax base needing to support the masses, which is unsustainable. Operation Dudula and PutSouthAfricaFirst movements are always accompanied by the police and explicitly call out law enforcement to do their jobs and enforce existing laws of the country so how can they be vigilante groups?
Kgomotso was killed by foreigners, the media won't say anything. A Zimbabwean murdered and raped 7 women in North West, media says nothing. Zimbabweans must find a way to solve their issues without burdening South Africans
UNDOCUMENTED‼️‼️ WHAT'S XENOPHOBIC ABOUT THAT?
We need proper documentation
I feel the pains of the South African people. I completed my PhD in SA and I could relate with this issue. SA people ain't xenophobic, they are just facing immigration crisis. Regardless of the assistance rendered by the other African countries during apartheird, SA people sacrificed and bled and died for their freedom. We must respect them! But I implore them to prevail upon their government to straighten out the loopholes in their immigration policy and porous borders. I know that SA is a beautiful country with a relatively better economy than what obtains in some other African countries. This reality has made travelling to SA to be an easier choice for some Africans compared to demanding for a better governance in their own countries. President Ramaphosa strikes me as a wise man and he should please help talk sense into his counterparts that are presiding over the affairs of African nations. Enough of these shame! We can do better as Africans! You don't get to see Moroccans, Rwandas, Beninoise, or Ghaniansa desperately trying to migrate to other countries, simply because they have a working government. Immigration should be a matter of aspiration and not a matter of desperation. Africans should not be desperate to leave their countries. Enough of the senselessness and insensitivity on the part of the African leaders! Kind regards to my SA brothers and friends. Special regard to Abigail Ramudzuli and Lutendo, thanks for making my stay in SA a worthwhile experience.
I'm glad you see it the South african way, foreigners are put blind eye to the problems and they're very sentimental when debating about this, Since when the whole of Africa must unite in South Africa??
@@thetechguy2433 I was objective because I saw things for myself. Most sentimental commentators have never been to SA. They only felt oh we are brothers! Africans fought apatheird SA! So SA should naturally embrace everybody. What a wrong way to think!

Expelling illegal immigrants, is not Xenophobia nor a crime. Its the right thing to do. Nigeria expelled some undocumented Lebanese, Indians and even Chinese last month. So, leave our SA brothers and Sisters alone. God bless them all. One love from Nigeria.

Yesterday around 7pm I met a young lady crying with tears, saying she was gang raped by two Zimbabweans. 6 taxi drivers were robbed and killed by foreign nationals between March and may. Over 70% (12000) of prison population are Zimbabweans and Malawians. Over 500 are serving murder and others are rape and yet they think we should sit down and allow this nonsense.
Put South Africans First 🇿🇦✌️. Viva Operation Dudula. We want our government to act against immigrants.
In 2012 they killed my childhood friend Jabulani for getting a job as a senior teacher, he qualified and documented. This is the real South Africa.
Can you blame them though? We would feel the same if we were living in shack’s and immigrants started showing up competing for jobs and driving wages down. It’s natural!
I totally agree mate, we would feel the same as they do. In fact, this happens all over world. Poor immigrants migrate and right off the bat are in direct competition for jobs & resources with the poor of the host nation. Which leads to resentment & friction.
Every country have the right to protect its borders ,but violence is never the right answer
My question is why are they in south Africa in the first place
Mostly to do crime
Can you imagine 4000000 foreigners
We have shared enough love but have run out of love sherm
There's too many illegal people roaming around.
Too many illigal can you explain, do you include all the refuges who are also coming to S.A. do u think they too are illigal
So is this about getting illegal immigrants out of the country?
What is xenophobia?, how can u say South African are xenophobic when we are fighting against crime, 8 people were shot by foreigners, u didn't broadcast that, now that we want criminal out of South Africa you are colling us xenophobic, label us however you want, but we are tired, our country is collapsing because of undocumented people, have documents and come, we don't have problem with you
Anybody who doesn't like South African xenophobia is welcome to leave.
Yes that is, south africa for south african.. nothing is wrong in keeping the jobs secure for your own people
whom created those jobs ? South Africans or white foreigners
Do you keep the same energy against the Chinese, Mexican and Indians in South Africa
@@tianabee9944 Does it matter who create those jobs? Foreign investments are encouraged by good governance. So yes, all jobs in South Africa should be reserved only for South Africans unless its a critical skill job then non-South Africans can apply. That is how the system should work.

@@makteko actually it matters then go tell the employers employing the non-South Africans to stop employing them
@@tianabee9944 That is what Operation Dudula is doing but you call them Xenophobic. The movement is to put South Africans first.
how can you be warried if you came here legal?
I'm a foreigner in SA, I'm fully legal and I do feel scared. Don't get me wrong I understand why this is happening but I don't think it will end with illegals no hate.
And here is an example of why we should have left them in Apartheid, instead of wasting money and resources getting them freedom
And here us an example of why we should have tightened our borders to look after ourselves first
Good call should be done all over the world
Power to the people and the people shall govern✊🏿viva operation dudula!!! 🇿🇦
japanese, UK, USA and Indonesia are complaining about Nigerians. But when South Africans complain its xenophobic.
We only have 1 country look after it and defend it.
You are not home you're at South Africa ..
Xenophobia in my opinion in every country is the frustration of the poor taken on the poor, whilst the rich minority help foment and steer so they can avoid accountability
Here in my country it's the same issue, but no one pays no mind to that... instead of blaming lack of jobs on immigrants, many people have come to the realization self employment is much better... imagine going to one of these "dudula" rallies, you are unemployed neither self-employed and at the end of the day you have a family to feed... Prioritize your needs and things might start working out smoothly
I agree, but in this case the poor are blaming the poor for stealing their jobs when it's the government that is not creating jobs
@@SJokes they are addressing the issue of crime as well. People with no documents or means of a livelihood will inevitably turn to illegal dealings.
couldn't have said it better..
You, Bro and your headlines are part of African problems! We are aware that most of African journalists including your colleagues in South Africa, are an instrument of this corrupt system but, by distorting Dudula's mission, you're more disappointing and even xenophobic against South citizens who're performing the job of the sleeping officials! Otherwise please just do your right journalistic job to invistigate before cooking hatred in front of the cameras. By doing so, you're not better than what you claim to be done by Dudula. Who's paying you for that? Thanks to all smart commentators, even from outside Africa, who didn't allow to be fooled and misled. Thanks so much for understanding the reality.
Mr please if your officials are sleeping wake them up, such protest leads to violence, i know your country for killing foreigners I know you guys are famous in doing that because you guys are lazy when you start to work you don’t access other people wealth
