Frans Manganyi was left in shock when police in Diepsloot grabbed him by his belt, demanding his identity documents. When he failed to produce his ID, he was asked to identify a couple of body parts in xiTsonga.

“I am sad because today I almost got arrested because my Tsonga is different from that of the police officer,” laments Mangayi.

“This is our everyday life. I wake in the morning and try to get an odd job as a gardener. Some days are better than others,” he says.This week, Diepsloot has dominated the news due to the violence that erupted in the area, with local residents accusing foreign nationals of being the perpetrators of crime, culminating in the murder of a Zimbabwean national, who was attacked, killed, and set alight – for not being able to produce Identity Document.

The local police station is in the top 30 of the highest number of contact crimes in the country recording 630 cases.“We are being killed by criminals here. We are not safe,” says Thabo Dladla who lives in the area.

Rustenburg police ke nako

Collateral damage and confusion. IsiNdebele of Zimbabwe not same as those of South Africa. And now this foreigners sometime they go around claiming to be Ndebele. Remember Zenzo Mahlangu from Zim, unionist who climbed ranks of anc tripartite alliance on false identy.

You are just looking to recruit, im tsonga and I see nothing wrong here

They way the situation in, SAPS must ask everyone....

Dom pas comming

Yes by Xitsonga speaking SAPS police coz ur foreigners especially Zimbabweans like claiming being from Venda or Giyani some will claim to be from KZN. I dont like the method, but i understand

Bopha- Different Tzonga,he is Mozambican

Apartheid is back through ANC's backdoor.

That's the only way to fight illegal immigrants because ANC government doesn't wanna announce mass deportation.

.....Mugabe use to ill treat you, now you want to lectures South Africans how to enforce a law?

They are doing a great job

Good job SAPS👍👍👍

We know some will say 'tsolo la boko' forvime me my Tsonga brothers but it's what it is to some copy cats

What was so difficult for him to produce ID

Great work to our authorities. South Africa is not a dumping site . Foreigners must come into the country legally and add value as well. When we travel and live abroad we go through the same .

That's part of the interview and it is lawful.

Thank you SAPS

You still haven't given us any information on the South Africans who died. No names, no family interviews, nothing. You are now busy interviewing any Tom, Dick and Harry of an illegal immigrant. You hate South Africans, and you expect us to pay for our TV licences?

How come his tsonga is different? He's from Mozambique... Bopha

He'll Carry his ID from now On..

Well done SAPS!

Great work we want more of this, us South Africans will carry our Identity card

SABC must start with basics like following the BCCSA CODE OF CONDUCT and there will never be bias journalism... ' SAPS TRYING HARD TO ANSWER TO THE COMMUNITY'S CRIES OF ILLEGALITY AROUND DIEPSLOOT' or such a heading chases away sponsors?

Dube, Ncube, Khumalo, Siziba, Sithole, Mokoena (s) etc from Zimbabwe are being burnt by their cousins in SA simply because they don't have documents. While Indians in Phoenix who committed atrocities in July 2021 are laughing. Shame on you

Do to musina and see if ppl mind when police and soldiers ask for ids. They know they are doing thier job.

That is what Oparation Dudula want, go back to that nonsense of passport.

This is the only way to get illegal foreigners out of these communities

Law enforcement is full of Limpopo people if his xiTsonga is different he shouldn't make it a big deal if they suspected him cos those are his homeboys and girls

We officially live in a circus with many clowns

He is lying to you other tribes 😃

From eNCA fork fork News24 fork Newzroom405 entlek all S.A media houses fork off maaaan yeses

m Tsonga i do not see anything wrong with what the police did today we need more of that kind of confrontation

has always had this anti South African agenda

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about AmelieBtc1 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Mnangagwa must do the Putin thing.. We must invade Messina as soon and posible

People died in numbers during Inkatha - ANC in the 90's where ppl were identified discriminated and killed for the language they spoke.... SAPoliceService shouldn't be perpetuating criminal acts of Vigilantism Mob Justice.....
