  1. Fighting each other will not change anything, showing hate will not change the fact that Anc has failed but it can still improve. Zulu's the war that your starting you must finish it, when war comes to South Africa dont run to other people's countries to exile like you did during apartheid. Prepare yourself to war because Donald Trump will bring in his soldiers and you will need help from foreigners. This will be used against you barbaric South Africans who are used by the system to hide government failures. Zulu's why are you still illiterate no wisdom in this age? This is not shaka zulu time. Durban who do you think owns South Africa?

  2. I CAN'T BELIEVE SOUTH AFRICA BLACK PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT TO THE FACTS THAT THEY CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES. SHAMEFUL. I WONDER WHY THEY DIDN'T DO THAT WHEN THE WHITE TEACHER RAPE THE BLACK CHILD..

  3. Interesting to see this isn’t only a US problem. I get the anger. Wish Americans can protest like this against illegal immigration. Keep fighting and speaking up! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  4. So let me get this straight, South Africans are upset about black immigrants but not upset about the white oppressors who have stolen all the land and wealth? This is the absolutely most insane thing I’ve ever heard. They have misdirected anger!!!

  5. Nelson Mandela's soul would be so happy to see how progressive his people are . They are on the path of self destruction. Look at the economy a few years ago and now. Well they have decided their fate so they don't need help. World can wait and watch the downfall

  6. We as south Africans have been speaking, we've been asking for decades: stop selling drugs to our kids, stop trafficking our daughters into forced prostitution, stop selling fake products you aren't being taxed for… They then started joking that south Africa doesn't have men… Well okay we got to remind you we forced whites to surrender to peace or we where ready to kill and die for our demands. We'll remind you that Nelson Mandela was never our leader.

  7. 🇪🇹 Ethiopia — trained Mandela and supported early military preparation for the ANC armed struggle.
    🇹🇿 Tanzania — trained and hosted ANC fighters while supporting liberation ideology.
    🇿🇲 Zambia — hosted ANC leadership and provided exile support for operations.
    🇦🇴 Angola — trained and armed ANC guerrillas after independence.
    🇲🇿 Mozambique — provided infiltration routes and operational support for ANC activities.
    🇧🇼 Botswana — served as a refuge and transit route for anti-apartheid activists.
    🇳🇬 Nigeria — financed and diplomatically supported the anti-apartheid movement internationally.

    YET YOU STAY SILENT TOWARD THOSE WHO OPPRESSED YOUR ANCESTORS AND EXPLOITED YOUR LAND, WHILE HARMING AFRICAN BROTHERS THAT ONCE SUPPORTED YOU IN TIMES OF STRUGGLE. SHAME ON YOU SOUTH AFRICA!! HISTORY W'LL NEVER FORGET IT
