I've said this before. I am an African. I was born here, just like my father, and his father before him. My family have lived here for more than a century. Yes, I'm white. Yes, my ancestors arrived here on a ship. So what? Our history is Africa's history ... as is our future.
The people of South Africa sleep in the cold, the people of South Africa go without water and electricity, the people of South Africa go to bed hungry ...
Where's your bleeding heart for them, Naledi Pandor? Why don't you prosecute those responsible for OUR misery, as a nation?
I want to put this to all of you, my fellow South Africans. In particular, I want to put this to black South Africans.
Every day, I am told on X that I am not an African, that I should go back to Europe, and that I am unwanted. Then I am told to return the land that I "stole"
I am ashamed to be a South African. Not because South Africans are bad people but because this morally bankrupt

1. Proof of employment in that country i.e. a sponsor's letter.
2. Proof that I won't be a financial burden to that country i.e. a bank statement.
Does South Africa demand these? Or are we a dump for Africa's refugees?
