Gan control is so weak in South Africa
Protection Money !!!?
You need cameras and police patrols
SAPS don't do their jobs properly… The SA people's don't fight the foreigners… Now it's problem caused by locally people…
Sad that xenophobia is taking root in SA. Obviously Ethiopians can easily be recogniswd as foreigners.
Democracy will destroy Africa…
Where are the soldiers
And a woman selling wigs on the street, so unhygienic. JHB CBD looks like a dystopian city. As for this journalist…
They killed each other
Foreiners are killing each other dont involved South Africans.This is a foreign war affairs.
inkabi nation running the country, criminals eliminating each other for territory
Ay South Africa is a never ending series
Ethiopians are killing each other even for spaza shops in our townships. Its not a new thing they're killing each other knowing that it will appear as xenophobia.
ANC failing to control immigration, actually they've failed to control everything is a mess
This so called busness man do they even pay tax? As we all know that they are here illegaly and they are killing each other for their own greed.
Sul Áfricanos vocês são assassinos…
We are becoming a failed state due to the failure of the national government and its people who are comfortable going after immigrants than pointing towards the people who failed them.
SA has no house . President Romophosa South talked about the bad crimes in SA . Where is Romophosa?
South Africa is a Mafia state. No rule of law, survival of the luckiest people.
Rip to my Ethiopian 🇪🇹😢
South Africa is extremely risky for foreign investment.
These men are business men and they were killed due to jealousy and family hatred the guy shot in medical was killed coz of the things his brohter was involved in he had 5 yound kids oldest being 10 years old and people are happy about his death saying things like they are not supposed to be here anyways the man just wanted a better life so he came here to SA. If you went to america and i know everyone want to and the people there say the same things yall are saying you wouldnt be happy. So im just saying dont accuse people of things just coz their foreign and treat people the way you want to be treated
What is the problem ???? Realy ?? 30 years of a corrupt government, it just happens to be black. But hey !!!
Arrest, detain, prosecute and jail these SA gangs. SA has violence.
SA has always been a place where life is valueless, honestly they can take someone's life for just a piece of ear ring. Hopeless and jobless tsotis who grew up without empathy, love care, father's even most times mothers. Are been used by some sort of evil hearted people to waste human lives.
SA is not safe for people who value. Lives .
All these spokes persons like to use illegal immigrants to cover the attroucities their own SA heartless boys and some useless migrants commit. They are all involved in it
Does Africa need government?? I ask because almost all are the most ineffective, incompetent, useless and infantile governments on the planet. The only exceptions are Rwanda, Mauritius, botswana and the Arab North countries.
Even the councillor sounds illiterate to me. Wow. Africa is going nowhere, he sounds like he doesn't know anything about his city. I am very certain that western cape will become independent . Living alongside incompetent people is very draining.
So Ethiopians are not investors, only gun toying people who contribute nothing towards south Africa.
😢😢😢😢😢south Africa need prayer
And you dared focusing on foreigners while its your people whoa re committing killings daily. And you will see its not even a hit but just they did disagree with those shops owners and promised them death.
The English mara😂😂😂😂
Ask the owner of McDonalds. Ramaphosa. BEEE is the problem.
Ethiopia has shifted to Jhb central.Shacks in Eloff street no more sky sceapers😂
Honestly speaking too much crime in Johannesburg what's sad they use locals to shoot, Ethiopias and Somalias they sleep with guns because of too much competitors in there own business
Criminals running the country…thats a fact…
