the anc must desist from speaking with forked tongue. They're are responsible for opening our borders willy-nilly.

Yes' Mr Makhura was correct to say that' Because South Africa now is a Drug Manufacturing Country' Because of the Foreigners' Some of them are illegally'

Very true honourable Makhura.

His right but what has he done with this knowledge

Campaigning strategy of which is useless we will vote ANC out of power come May 8...PERIOD

Foreigners specializes in HI-JACKING their car sales businesses is booming where expensive cars are sold very cheap under the nose of the cheap talkative Herman Mashaba and David Makhura

We know that, why do politicians like stating the obvious?

Its good that David_Makhura has come to realise that SADEC countries negatively contribute to our detoriating conditions to our government institutions...they come in this country and demand services with which is not even available to them in their own countries

Those are facts, in Johannesburg you can't walk a few meters without meeting a foreign national, and you just don't feel safe. And police collects money bags from them so they are going nowhere. Try Go to Bree taxi rank you will see they control everything and police get moola

Now he's xenophobic

Do something about it, it's the only cure, otherwise what you say becomes fruitless

Well even some racists never admit being racist but a person is judged by their statements. The moment you start characterizing something bad with one's nationality that's xphobia just like a white woman who characterized rape as black people's culture it's racism.

Here in Germany, not too long ago, the Jews were those behind all the bad things. In the US it were the communists. Except for the shirt he's far off from Mandela. HistoryWillTeachUsNothing

Very true Cde.

Yes its true but as always nothing will be done

Locals as well! Irresponsible statement!!!!!

But he's not xenophobic - he told us so

What's his plan? Let him act than talk. In joburg South every corner has a scrapyards shops. Where do all of them get those spare parts?

Is he lying?

Makhura and his ANC are DISGUSTING HYPOCRITES, this foreigners issue isn't something NEW, has been going on for the past 25years, oppositions, civilians & civil society organizations have been raising it, people have lost lives bcos of it, WHY NOW?🙅🙅🙅
