Cultural differences between SAns are huge. In my opinion the conflict of irreconcilable cultures is not well understood. That complicates the advancement of democracy, equality, non-racialism and non-sexism which are constitutional imperatives ito s1 of the Constitution, 1996.

There is no agreement between Zim and SA that South Africa must supply medical treatment to Zimbabweans. Medical Treatment Visas issued ito s17 of the Immigration Act, 2002 are required and it is a serious contravention of ss49(4) of the same act to help undocumented immigrants.
Your ancestors were not even part of South Africa in 1652 unless you are Khoisan. Your arrival and aggression caused and still are causing many problems.
On this day 6 April 1652 ALL the problems of the Southern tip of our beloved continent started….
It will take a monumental effort on the part of all patriots to erase all the rot,hatred,misery,racism,landlessness and bloodshed which characterised our society since that day!✊🏾

Correct. The purchase of Lesotho water was negotiated. If you want to buy something from South Africa, kindly also negotiate it. That is what responsible nations do to help one another.

What must he do about unbalanced reporting and the nonsensical opposition to the rule of law, protection of illegal immigration and subversion of the existing immigration laws by many journalists? Speaking out and using his freedom of speech to lambast them is perfectly legal.

SA already have a state owned Land Bank, Post Office Bank, DBSA and the IDC geared to advance transformation. I see no need or gap for a replicating state owned bank for the account of already overburdened taxpayers.

Minister of Home Affairs letter to the Zimbabwe Diaspora dated 31 December 2021. SA cannot afford the administrative burden placed on South Africa by Zimbabweans.
Under the rule of law, a Minister cannot rule by decree. Someone should lay criminal charges against the honorable Minister of Transport and MP for attempted obstruction of the course of justice and teach her a valuable lesson that she will never forget.

Some people need to be rescuers and they will cast others in the role of perpetrator. The Karman Drama Triangle explain the sick game white supremacists play that ascribe to Kipling's "White Man's Burden" that believe black people are victims and cannot think for themselves.
Unacceptable emotional blackmail. It was their free choice to stay on in SA after their visas expired. They knew very well from day 1 that ZEP that it was a temporarily arrangement. Some/many have a false expectation to force permanent residence through judicial overreach.
I am following the progress of law-abiding SA patriots uniting behind the Constitution, 1996 and the Immigration Act, 2002 with interest. Holding the government accountable will greatly benefit this and future generations of South Africans.

Undocumented immigrants that entered SA illegally are marching against the rule of law. What they are doing is unforgivable.
SA cannot document undocumented immigrants that entered SA illegally. They must get their travel documents from their home countries. Visas can be issued by SA only for documented applicants. Those that don't qualify for the range of visas in the Immigration Act, 2002 must leave.
Impressive. Congratulations ActionSA. Keep up the good work and convert Johannesburg into a safe and world class city and the jewel in SA's economic crown.
@Our_DA
The objectives of

@GutuObert
Exactly. Much better than South Africa. Those that think SA is the land of milk and honey for migrants make a big mistake.
Please convince your fellow Zimbabweans to stay in Zimbabwe and not to cross borders to SA illegally and those in SA to return home as soon as possible.

Stop making your problems ours in South Africa. You shamelessly import your problems from Zimbabwe to SA and cannot care less about the instability you are causing in the region.
Zim children did not belong in already overcrowded and underfunded SA schools in the first place.
Zim parents making a living and sending their income home is bad enough for SA's economy and unemployed citizens.
And bringing their whole family with them is not covered by ZEP.
Almost 200 000 Zimbabweans will be compelled to return home as a result of the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP) extension coming to an end in June of this year. Many parents are now concerned about how their kids will transition out of South African schools as a result of this.
