Tens of thousands of migrants flee South Africa as a June 30 deadline approaches. Anti-immigration groups plan to launch nationwide protests after the deadline expires, and migrants feel that there will be bloodshed. Thousands from countries like Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria and Zimbabwe have already left South Africa. The country’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has warned people not to resort to violence. But despite the assurances of peaceful protests, even legal migrants in South Africa fear that riots will erupt.

Gods children, killing each other
As a South African I can tell you that since the protest started last year, no one has been killed in this protest. The youth are fighting for their rights. The illegal immigrants mostly the Nigerians are disrespectful to our laws.
Anti- "ILLIGAL" immigration 🤦🏾♂️
Playing the blame game because of the own inability to make a life…. Same story different group gets blamed…
Whenever such issues are propping up, means government trying to divert people's attention from things that matter or trying to cover up something….
Truthful report
SO SORRY BUT MY GRAND CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN MUST HAVE JOBS TOO
But this report is biased and deliberately inflaming. I liked this channele when Palki was on the screen. You guys are devolving into a main stream media style now. How do you use a 15-24 unemployment age whereas in South Africa 15 to 18 is under aged and can never be classifies as unemployed thus can't be accurate if your statistics are quoting a wrong age group.
The South African government, Immigration and police are complicit in making this situation worse and creating a humanitarian crisis. Immigration and police are going around to businesses with armed protestors to check on foreign work visas. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Thug criminals are already robbing foreigners. President Ramaphosa had a chance to diffuse this situation but has done nothing. He, the ANC and GNU are idiots.
Us Namibian are content with our country but we must learn from whatever is happening with our neighbours
This clown that started in the first place anc destroyed SA now after 30 years of noting they care? Bulshit!!!
It’s shame it’s really shame as an African as kid during I used to cry support anyway I could to see this happening now is heartbreaking.
Africa Vs Africa
I don't think Africa will ever be civilized, so much violence all over the country, Sudan, the Congo, wars and constantly fighting each other, extremely uncivilized people.
That's not true… we are not scared…. there were small incidents… Don't make South Africa to look bad in just one day of protest.. It was generally peaceful… One lady took on the government deserves a salute.. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦
Death and destruction… You are crazy… Nothing like that… 🇿🇦🇿🇦
🇿🇦 🇿🇦 ✅The Bible distinguishes between people who are unhappy due to suffering and those who are unpleasant due to a toxic, complaining spirit. It commands believers to show empathy and gentleness to the hurting, while advising healthy boundaries and prayer regarding consistently bitter or quarrelsome individuals. The Bible speaks extensively about strangers, aliens, and sojourners, emphasizing that they must be welcomed, loved as oneself, and treated with absolute justice. Because Israel's own history began as foreigners in Egypt, God commanded His people to protect and care for society's most vulnerable. Strangers are entitled to the same legal rights and protections as native-born citizens. Oppressing or exploiting them is considered a severe offense to God. ✅Show Compassion: Believers are instructed to "weep with those who weep" (Romans 12:15) and comfort the brokenhearted.✅Offer Support: The scriptures urge carrying one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2) and showing grace to those who are downcast.✅Respond with Kindness: Jesus commands followers to love their enemies and pray for those who mistreat them (Matthew 5:44).✅Handling displeasure and joyless people requires establishing strong emotional boundaries, practicing reflective listening to ensure connection without absorbing their negativity, and protecting your own mental space. You cannot force someone to change, but you can control how their mood impacts your day.✅Protect your peace: You are not responsible for resurrecting anyone from their own issues.✅Set limits: Communicate what is acceptable. If someone is constantly venting, you can say, "I care about you, but I don't have the emotional bandwidth for this conversation right now.✅"Disengage: If a conversation turns into a circular, joyless rant, step away or change the subject to protect your mental health.✅Avoid the "fix-it" mindset: People devoid of joy often aren't looking for solutions. Trying to force a "fix-it" plan can increase resistance.✅Detach personal value: Do not take their mood personally. Their displeasure is typically a reflection of their internal state, not your behavior.✅Shift perspective: Challenge the narrative. Cultivate your own joy through a personal gratitude list or mindfulness practice. "I was a stranger and you invited me in… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." – Matthew 25:35-40"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it." – Hebrews 13:2
Our truck was forced 2 reload cargo and head bck
In 2004 the Nigerian man in my flat "John Ross flat in Durban " was selling South African ID and Passports, 22yrs ago. I don't really believe that most people that are legal are really legal. My nephew was also buying drugs from Nigerian too. Is sa that other innocent African are paying the price yet most SA people have issues with Nigerians for their in human behavior.
Forget South Africa go home and rebuilt your country they are responsible for your livelihood
Africa wil rise without them
We will defend ours just as our fathers did before us.
Our not so caring President and his ignorant Ministers including the nonsense talking ANC General Secretary told the Nation that " there won't be any SHUT DOWN" .The funny thing is Government Offices were closed.😂🤣😅 OMG they lost touch with the Citizens. It was the busiest day of my working life 🇿🇦✊🏿💥
The impact of illegal migration in record numbers is a serious issue in SA… the fact that people are acting now do defend the dignity safety and pride of their says a lot about the SA government willingness to prevent the problem they’ve created.
The media propaganda in show SA in a bad light is clearly showing. South Africans were right. Illegal immigrate has gotten out of hand, it increases unemployment and crime, what are the people ought to do when the government is turning a blind eye?
Your reporting is skewed and partly untruthful!!! ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are being told to leave South Africa. Everyone who is in South Africa illegally must go. Stop it with ies, please. Ps. All marches from yesterday, were peaceful.
They kill all Africans and white farmers…typical animosity….!
ALL AFRICA SUPPORTED THESE PEOPLE DURING APARTHEID…THEY USED TO GO TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND LIVE AND WORK AS WELL…GOD WILL PUNISH THEM SOME DAY…
0:50 Why would a police officer protect an illegal criminal. He will try to prevent the beating but he needs to arrest you.
Corrupt ANC is the problem
They must go
✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
South Africans should be reminded that this is how the Nazis started their qiest for power.The South African government should be advised that these groups pose a real threat to south african society .
People should be documented and show me any country where South Africans are living illegally in the thousands. Corrupt officuals and the ilkegal migrants themselves are complicit in this. SOUTH AFRICA WILL RISE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
Africa will continue trailing behind thank you lord for giving Americans,Europeans and Asians wisdom and power over such people 😢😢😢
sick of refugees immigrants canada is sold out our country
Lucky dube was killed by illegal immigrants drugs and human trafficking is done by Nigerians car are illegally crossed to Mozambique our forefathers struggled a lot from oppression when it was time for us to share resources foreigners came running to scavenge on our resources now you are reporting fake news without actual bias
I think Kenya has more than 3m but we have no business with people who have come to look for better life in the right way. If someone from Rwanda or Burundi is selling sweets in the streets of Nairobi, how is he stealing my job? What is happening in South Africa is something different and might escalate into bigger issue if the government cant take control now and not tomorrow. After foreigners have left what next? This must the question.
Save Africa from Africans and of course end slavery
The legally documented amount of U.S. government food and humanitarian aid sent to Africa over the last 50 years is estimated at roughly $100 billion to $150 billion, while total U.S. economic and development aid to the continent over that same half-century exceeds $300 billion. Annual Baseline: In the 2010s and early 2020s, the U.S. spent an average of $4 billion per year globally on international food assistance, with sub-Saharan Africa consistently receiving the largest share (often between 50% to 70% of the total budget during major droughts or conflicts). Recent Decades: Between 2001 and 2024 alone, US AID provided a documented $131.6 billion in total aid to African countries. A substantial portion of this went directly to emergency food security, agricultural development, and humanitarian protection. For example, in response to severe food crises in 2022, the U.S. rushed an additional $1 billion in emergency food security aid explicitly to African nations. The 50-Year Estimate: Adjusting historical data from the 1970s through the 2020s, the U.S. has PAID an estimated $100+ billion specifically for food security, agricultural aid, and emergency food commodities to Africa, out of more than $300 billion in total U.S. foreign assistance to the continent. AND, they are NOT humble enough to say: Thank You American Taxpayers. And what about the Churches who donated to Africa. Africa is Racist?
But they supposed to do it with law enforcement , now their president talk good after Nigeria senate debating how to fighting them back and make their business go down, they forget how Nigeria take them up, this is their big mistake.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
