Building social cohesion in Venda - Indian community forms vital part of Thohoyandou's society

The town of Thohoyandou in Limpopo is a melting pot of diversity of cultures, religions, creeds and languages. Over the last years, it became a thriving Indian place as a growing number of people of South Asian descent settled in the town. With their population growing intensively throughout the years, Indians formed an important part of the society in Thohoyandou.
Today, they live side-by-side with the local Vhavenda people with common goals, aspirations and dreams.

How is this even news...the Indian community has long been integrated within the Venda community...Most of them speak Tshivenda pretty well if not fluently.

[@humbulanimulaudzi7185]

True

There r difference between Indian South African & Pakistani. Indian South African have generations that lives in South African. Most of the have lost the Indian accent wen they talk.
Some have intergrated very well within the South African work force, Hence the guy can say he is a teacher.
But Pakistani have no labour skills & r trying to blend in to the Indian South African communities. But wit out skills they opened Spaza shops.

You’re right, these are a Indian SAns not Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants many who are illegals here and must be deported

[@IamBarati]

Indian community from India not SA. Be fair to South Africans. Why do we have to accommodate Indians from India in our communities? How many black South Africans are born in India? Why donwe have to share our country with everyone yet we don't go to their countries

This is unfair 😢😢

[@shahidally]

this is the dumbest argument, this is the same argument racist Europeans to justify anti immigrat sentiments as Well as the great replacement theories. Well done for learning the worst lessons from the white man.

Indians from South Africa are in Durban and some in Jozi. These Indians from India are not coming with skilled labour so Spaza shops must only be for South Africans new law

social cohesion is key to South Africa's future

[@Tinker8531]

Would India. Pakistan, Bangladesh welcome Africans and integrate them into your society???. Don't take us for fools, please. You here for your own benefit, not ours, whatever money you make goes back home. soon you will be racists towards the same Black people. Pakistan is the same country who kicked out Afghans. Our leaders and media is blind and don't care about South Africans, but we know you so well.
