The call for illegal foreigners to leave the country has yet to gain strong traction on social media, despite recent demonstrations.
@SiyabongaZizi Together, as one, we can fight these illegal immigrants.
@ms_tourist By force or by fire.
@dujardinmtl I have no issue with illegal immigrants being asked to leave, but it must be done properly. Do we not have immigration police and systems to handle this lawfully? What about others entering the country illegally by plane?
@ckofor Nelson Mandela fought against racism, and Nigerians contributed financially to the anti-apartheid struggle. Other nations stood with South Africa, yet today their descendants are treated poorly. If this continues, support may not come again.
@FifiLeFleu67750 Entering a country illegally is against the law. The government turns a blind eye. Many are exploited as cheap labour, while others are linked to crime. They should return to their home countries.
@SikhathiCharity I am proud of South Africans standing their ground and fighting back.
@TearsZA I have never seen people get angry for being told to go home. Now issues like apartheid are being raised again. Just go home and stop the commotion.
@kuhleyetu Do not lose focus. Stay focused on the mission.
@Sosah_Fie We are labelled xenophobic, so whatever is said makes no difference to us.
@7hando The backlash against Jacinta Ngobese has begun. Do not lose focus on illegal foreigners. Limpopo can decide on her apology.
@KAmlarh We are heading toward conflict among ourselves over this belief that people came here peacefully to hustle, yet violence is now affecting ordinary citizens.
@t_thatomokhele Some groups are accused of serious crimes, yet when South Africans speak out, they are labelled xenophobic.
