Xenophobia in South Africa: Vigilante groups target foreign-owned businesses • FRANCE 24 English

- The anti-immigrant attitude is common in South Africa. But in recent months it has taken an organised shape in the form of a rapidly growing populist movement. Young people united as the movement called "Operation Dudula" are demanding that illegal immigrants be sent home. The ruling party, the ANC, will have to respond. Authorities are firm in their stance of: "No jobs for undocumented migrants", but the situation can quickly get out of hand. Nobody wants to relive the tensions of 2008, 2015 and 2019.

Zimbabweans could try moving to Botswana or Namibia instead.
Trust me they do
@Derrick Jensen I agree, somewhere, somehow they see or hear about the part of South Africa even an average South African can't attain. . .when they get here most of them are hit with the hard reality that they are now stuck in a different country in the same situation they running from
@Derrick Jensen It's because our government is weak and they know they can get away with illegality here.
but if your running from your country due to poverty where the hell you get money to open up a shop, stock the shop and pay the rent??? as soon as you come into south africa???
Their are doing drugs in SA, they must go back to their countries
All these fake goods that China and Europe is over producing, they are the ones bringing them into South Africa
It's called making a plan bra 😂
You are lazy
Not all decided to migrate to SA just because poverty.
We’re our own problem
Say you not we
If you are not from South Africa you wouldn’t understand operation Dudulas mission
south africans are the biggest losers of africa..white people own you in that country, you don't dare touch them but other africans..
Go fight the Europeans with that same energy....
Yes GO HOME
South Africa - making apartheid look good.
This violence is the offspring of apartheid
ITS A PITY
So shameful, when you think of the baby years of solidarity that other African nations showed in the fight against apartheid. These other countries took in South African anti-apartheid exiles. This kind of xenophobia is exactly what we are seeing in many European countries which are expelling black Africans fleeing instability and misery
Is it's not shameful when illegal immigrants invaded the country and do all sort of crimes, what about other african countries who chase away african in their country, if they don't have proper documents is it's xenophobic it's was done recently in zimbabwe or you only call it when it's done in south africa, why do you hate south african so much, SA it's only protecting their country, foreigners must respect SA laws, that all we asking
@@nomzamosimamane4801 Obeying laws. Apartheid was based on laws. According to your argument, the laws of a country must be obeyed. So, why did you disobey the laws under apartheid? You should have shut up and obeyed and remained in your Bantustans.
You say it as if South Africa doesn’t have its own instability and crisis
They need time and space to fix their country.
Kick whites out
Africa for Africans
Pool incident brought me here
I don't see anything wrong as long as process to arrive legally is fair
Slavery was legal in the US - does that make it ok?
@@theloniousm4337 I said fair
@@theloniousm4337 Illegal Immigration is ILLEGAL in ALL 100% of countries/tribes/societies since the start of time.
@@ExteelPaprika Once upon a time, slavery was considered fair, even Prince Charles had to apologize. Wake up! So many people are so Ignorant!
@@ExteelPaprika what exactly makes it fair? What scales are you using?
Use the same energy when u fight europeans
I mean…. Those who still hold economic power
How can I stay in country where I am not welcomed
Hmmn, opération Dudula is NOT a vigilante group, they are a civic activism group and should be reported on as such 🙏🏽.
It's a vigilante group, as far as I know there's no statistic that says a majority of South Africans support this, you're in a very uneducated and gullible minority...
whats so civic about beating innocent people ???
@@rakeshkrishnan1099 illegal immigrants are not innocent ppl
@@amogelangselota
Most of them are, deport them in proper legal way
Its true when they say you are your worst enemy.
We are hungry that's the problem
They thieves too, stealing hospitals prescribed medications and sell them to people ,eish who does that, them
There 72% of lands occupied by whites so ask them for agriculture
The Country does not belong to Pretoria Authorities. We rather go to civil if Pretoria Authority think they own us.
South africans are ready
Show of shame (imagine).
Yes France this is South Africa a once Beuty full country now a criminal place look at our crime stats but there is always excuses ANC been in power 25 years and the only thing they got right is braking everything down and not get anything right
@@Naledi-ep2vf and I assume it is not the anc government that must keep it’s people save and insure that our boarder is secure ? The anc is the most incompetent government party that never wants to take responsibility for there absolute pathetic behaviour and only wants to fill there very deep pockets with taxpayers money
That Congolese hair dresser has a Nigerian accent lol
We are all the same.
Accent are not the same
@@davlid100 we are not
No he doesn’t.
we can help one another but stay in your countries enough is enough and fix your countries wwg1wga
Im American i feel the same way about immigrants in America.
u mean the native americans/indians feeling the same way about white immigrants from europe 🤣🤣
NO I Don't 🤣🤣
@Water
Exactly it's traditially an immigrants country so u need to welcome immigrants legally not the other way around
Are u a Native American ?
SA first
To pack up bags n go back home is a problem to them now is the time
Say what you think of S.Ans🇿🇦 one thing about us we love 💖our country and we will do what it takes to get it back write. Questing: Why is U.K. currenly depoting illegal immigrants? non of them are South Africa's 🤷🤷🤷 becose we respect any country that is hosting us, we go with correct papers ..why other country can foce illegal immigrants out but South Africa must be okay with the lawless leaving🤷 only us know how our country looked like before this influx of illegal immigrants 17 million from defarant country why the Baden on S.A. how about you invite them in your country's and see in a month what your street's will look like don't judge before you understand or put your self in our shoes. The correct question is why are they running away from theire country's why not vote for a bitter life and stop making AFRICA problem South Africa's. We hosted this ppl for 20+ years it's time they go back and fix their country....
you have a point
@Derrick Jensen ask why they don't hire South africans. And ask South africans why no one want them that's the question 🤔
But don't forget many African can counties helped you get that freedom you're enjoying including my country Uganda and I don't think that guys have a right to kill someone because they are living in country illegally and if they are illegal how come they are given licenses to do business in south Africa? That's why I will never go to south Africa
That is the good question, why no one want to hire South African?
Let me give a partial answer: One of the reason why even South African companies do not want to hire South African citizen is because you're lazy guys, that's the point, you complain a lot, and offer little.
South Africa keep ur South Africa forget Africa
😂😂😂better so
100% support for Operation Dudula
Lets leave All of Africa to its own devices for about 2 years and see what happens. I can't wait to see the progress made.
2 years eh? Chaos has no exceptions, ask the Ukrainians.
And leave all its resources including minerals and raw material that European countries continue to plunder from it and then we will really see what happens.
Sadly, all this come after the invasions, ask your historians they will tell you that the was no street beggars in this southern lands
Problem start by dismantling other nations, follow the money ull understand who took our wealth
Haha I think yourll should forget about Africa because we not brainwashed to be rosy and in fairy tale when it comes to dealing with issues.
This is embarrassing this is why I’m scared to visit
Me too 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Stay there
Please don't come, call your fellow countrymen to go back home
Is all your brothers n sisters doing crime in our country anyway we can't wa
@@deliwegrace7097 what crime lol, but these people are employed working when do they get the time to do the crime. It’s not they’re fault that SA people some of them are into crime and into prostitution. I just hope they leave that country it’s really not worth it . I rather be in the UK , France or Belgium life’s better.
viva operation dudula viva
SHAME ON YOU
Dear Africans as a South African we love you and deep inside you know it's true. Zimbabwean shona and Ndebele tribes you know we Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, Sotho etc. We all descend from the same Nguni Kingdom we are one blood our ancestors used to tell us stories about how you Zimbabweans would come to South Africa to pay respect to your ancestors here. as a african you have all the right to be here. Yet we have adopted a European way of living with boarders and laws all what South Africans are asking for is that everyone who comes in the country must come in with legal documents, don't do crime don't participate in economic sabotage. South Africans are not Xenophobic let's not allow other nations to divide us
What are you even talking about . Deep inside of you know this is not love. If someone is in a country illegally he / she should not be mistreated like that.
@@blessinganaheim4844 youll understand this the day your family member gets raped or killed by an illigal immigrant then runs freely because they cannot be tracked down. It's easy to comment on something that you don't experience. If I would talk of yesterday my 6 years daughter was beaten up by a child of a 16 years illegal immigrant still search for him even now, while on that my wife called me to come and fetch her from work because she doesn't feel safe around with illegal immigrants robbing woman and raping them. As a father and a husband this issues puts so much pressure its really unfair
Namibia is also in the same situation Congolese have taken over. Street vendors its only them.
got it. it is a southern african virus
Good
Bless
I feel sorry for dido
In the sprit of fairness, SA needs to be broken into multiple countries with Dudula Republic of South Africa being one. Seeing this video makes me feel that segregation was not a bad ideal. It makes lots of sense.
@Derrick Jensen so teue. I stayed in the UK for two years. Served my time. Enjoyed my stay and back to South Africa.
When I left Poland had just joined EU. They were flooding the low wage jobs in the UK.
In South Africa it is hard for us because foreiners have their own nations however they demand social support, jobs, free housing, etc. All sorts of crimes.
When native South Africans complain the media will lable us xenophobic.
🤣🤣🤣 must be in dreamland
Go home
Go.go. go home!
All african nations not included South african now better than South Africa
Things in their own countries,if we are xenophobic than what are u
😔
Waiting to hear Dudula condemning youth destroying thier future at tarvens if they r for real.
Nah but yo check it I’m Brook so my land in South Africa is Brook-Ra or Brook-Day not Brook Crescents because night is old and cold 🥶
Viva Dudula wakanda.
Good
South africa being south africa
Show of shame...I pity South Africa!!
save your pity for the poor wretches across the continent unwilling to make the necessary sacrifices in order to make their countries livable
This is b.s to the government and discriminating everybody and immigrants as most people don't know the world got maid by immigrants around the world and show them respect or there will be no future for your families and friend's and everyone else living in Africa 🌍🌍🚩🚩🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🧾🧾🧾🧾🧾🚩🚩🚩
Yes I totally agree. But every country has its laws. I feel like the wrong message is being conveyed here. South Africans have lived with immigrants for years even during apartheid times. Nobody had a problem with them. The issue here is those who come in huge numbers and are undocumented. They commit crimes and they cannot be traced because they are undocumented. I cannot go to another country without proper documentation I will be turned away at the borders. The reason is because someone somewhere has to know that I’m there. Why is this so hard to accept when it comes to South Africa?
@@kckc121 because most of the world lost there way on earth and keep repeating history until everyone learns the hard way it can be fixed if people start understanding meaning the high and mighty people in Africa 🌍..(there's always a fix to everything and the people got the power to the future and the help will come and to those who harm everyone will face punishment)
💔💔💔
They should be left alone with they country….but get starved of all the income coming from outside they country…..then see what’s gone happen to them….am sure they gone need foreigners then
Stop threatening just leave, we are not afraid to die fixing our country we have done it before. You come here disrespect every law of the country, enough is enough.
You say that as if countries outside South Africa benefit nothing it’s only South Africa that does. This gaslighting must stop.
Haha what a joke...many countries including U.S.A suffers badly
@@mixedtraveler3585
not as bad as south africa, last i checked SA cricket team is funded by BCCI(India cricket board)
Welcome to the third world
is the same thing not happening in America? thats a first world country
@@Augfordpdoggie when have you seen Americans taking the law into their hands because of illegal immigrants???? I am African and have lived in America for 20yrs and never see anything like the show of shame South African displays for the whole world to see.
Unless you are a Native American, same question should be directed to you.
