South Africa should not burn the African bridge it may one day need to cross 📌📌📌📌
the economical unequality in south africa is big than immigration…even if they can remove every single immigrant nothing will change
Please stop lying, this is anti ILLegal immigration, NOT anti Immigration!
The government need to look after South Africa. But they do not. ANC need to go. And don't blame the immigrants for the bad handel of the land.
ANC government has failed the people, so immigrations are the scapegoats again. Nothing new.
Seem like the police is part of the protest
MK is Zuma’s political party. He and the Guptas was the start of the rot in South Africa. He will do anything for votes and power.
well done South Africa. All of humanity stands with those opposing the colonisation of their homelands – certainly here in Europe we natives do.
How many police are there
Calling South Africans exercising their democratic right of protesting is insulting
after this, who else are you going blame… the war at Israel or Russia
Unemploymenet and economic crisis is a globle issue and its a big crisis among many of of our African countries to next generations, since African Governments have neglected it for long, so Governments need to work so hard to solve this crisis, African leaders focus much on getting and retaining powers and less on development so Africans we end up in crisis for long yet African has some resources which would have been a starting point for development. so even if all people are chased a way, its a temporaly pain killer, But the big problems are likely to remain unsolved until the African leaders begin to change the way things are done.
For we have a sayings in Uganda that getting Old makes you see a lot of thing's. Lets watch the Space and see.
There's no island that can stand on its own. Lets watch southAfrica stand alone in Africa.
The South African government should be educating and training people to be able to do specialised work. The government does not invest or support business in a positive way to ensure job creation. It is a complicated problem which the government needs to deal with urgently. They should make use of forreign expertise to train South Africans in skills and creating employment
? 1:14 Unemployment 1in3 adults : 'South Africa’s real unemployment rate is 15%, as many of the individuals who are formally unemployed earn income in the informal sector.
This means that they do not feature in formal statistics produced by bodies such as Stats SA, leaving South Africa with an inflated unemployment rate of 32.7%.
Informal economy expert GG Alcock explained this phenomenon on a recent Common Sense podcast, where he discussed the township economy.
Alcock explained that it has been a slow process, but now many of South Africa’s biggest businesses understand the informal sector and the opportunities in it.

Funny how the end of "Apartheid" lead to this.
Its notable that you and foreign media in general reporr it as an anti immigrant protests leading deportation of african foreign nationals. What you hide is that the protests are againsts thousands if not millions that are in SA illegally. Those that took advantage of SA's weak borders, or those that lied and claimed political asylum and upon receiving a temprary permit disappeared and never showed up at immigration offices.
The rhetoric is PROBLEMATIC TO WHO????…Your expert Jo Vearey knows NOTHING! If she knew anything she would’ve predicted this. This is exactly what happens when the States and its experts are incompetent!
. Many poor and unemployed South Africans manage the trauma of apartheid and poor living conditions using drugs. Drugs and alcohol keeps them in very precarious and uncompromising situations.. it’s a big wander that so many Illegal immigrants – foreign businesses have set up shop over the years and to a large extent contributed to a highly addictive street drug that has devastated communities across South Africa. Apparently there have been flash points which now point to the lack of responsible governance and clearly corrupt government. . With elections coming up the people are anxious.
Germany has to close it's borders!!!!
…my sister, you are not giving a true reflection of what's happening…I can only recommend your expulsion from that Broadcaster…tell the truth and report the truth…that's all I am saying…
There's an echo on the audio of this report.
What's behind it? The people of the land and their concerns are real. Europe and the UK are facing the exact same problems and concerns.
Chubby, you’re crazy. Listen to the protesters.
Same old same old, blaming immigrants because they go fill jobs employers GIVE them. Honestly, immigrants DO NOT TAKE JOBS, THEY ARE GIVEN THEM!!! I don't ever see the employers being spoken about as the largest part of the problem, WHICH THEY ARE !!!! My only question is who is profiting both politically and financially, not only for the jobs situation but for getting people to go march about it, march about the wrong problem that is!! ? Who makes money and gains more power from all this?
Echoes no good
Echo Feedback..😮
More than that, the African countries are watching and will certainly impede South African businesses and interests in their various territories. It may worsen South African economy further
We do March.. we don't do ICE.. tell the world what Europe is doing now. Same thing. Different narrative
They wanted their own apartheid apparently, shame on South Africans.
Britain has the same problem there will be war on the British streets it's coming
No one talk about echo in the background @DW
If you have for 32 YEARS communist government the country will turn into a pile of rubble.
it will reach a point no south african would travel to another African country
