Bana ba dinoga

Maybe this group is for immigrants I see.

Imagine I move to Botswana and then go and criticize their government? This is only happening here in South Africa. They won't do it in Any other country.

These ones are funded by drug dealers

Powerful

When P W Botha was running the country did we have illegal immigrants?

Yes gov is failing us and people of SA are doing their part in helping gov to win the fight against illegal, criminals, foreigners ok in fact people must be trained to be able to see a valid passport and always demand it when they meet a foreigner on the street or bamfake imvubu

They say we should hold government accountable for unemployment. I support that 100% . They should leave our country and also hold their governments accountable for the unemployment that has them crossing our border.

They are mostly criminals who VOLUNTARILY & knowingly crossed into SA illegally, some are using genuine but illegal docs. We as SAns blame them for committing that crime in the first INSTANCE....Illegal entry into our khantry. We can deal wit our govt its internal affairs...

GovernmentZA

So SA is what ?a dumping site for failed African states?they should be packing and going back to the governments that Didnot fail them,we are not going to stop ,untill they all are gone

This group is made up of mostly people from SADC who are employed in South African mines.

This scapegoat argument is tired, how many times should people explain. The 1652 argument is tired too. And so is 'who will they come for next'. All of these have no bearing on the rule of law - why is it hard to understand that the ANC gov must be forced to govern properly.

Few month ago I was struggling to fend for my self and my kids ,at my last bus stop I decided to give Bitcoin trading a try ,through the help of _ambreymarcus1 I was able to earn R250,000 in 2 weeks thank you so much Mr _ambreymarcus1 .

There's a solution to this issue of foreign nationals and I have it

Yes thats true but there is no way you can protect criminals you can't be in another country with no document even here in Africa you can't go to Zim Nigerie Mazambique DRC etc without proper document

SABC employs Foreigners

Foreigners calling for a minister of a country they illegal occupy to resign is tantamount to overthrowing a government.

Kopanang must be a foreigners group, I have that feeling.

Let them go back to their countries and we will deal with our problems, we don't need them

Kanti why do they want to unite Africa in South Africa? Mabafusege baye emakibo for once

I m a from the Democratic Republic of congo and all what is happening in all the things only victims and innocent ppl do get hurt and the wrong ones always remain standing Africans use ur heats and not ur brains cuz ur brains are just hungry for today and tomorrow it regrets

They can see government failures in SA but not where they came from. South Africa really is being taken for a ride and long before we know it we'll be left with nothing

Let them go back to their countries of origin and see if the government will fail to revive the economy.ghosts are not included when the state plans and approves bugets.

Black and Coloured South Africans Have been replaced by foreigners In the Hospitality,Tourism, Agriculture,Security and E hailing Service What are these Kopanang Africa foreigners talking about

I think we should learn from Ukraine 🇺🇦, from being landowners to the refugees let's treat one another with respect because we are brothers and sisters

It is true. Maybe a new party party must govern this cowntry...or a coalition...the anc is a failure💔🙆

Very true

During the day it was said a thousand people😂😂😂😂😂

Bengazobhora laba
