🔸One Love.♥️ We need new leaders.🇿🇼

What’s the story for all the hate Africans are giving South Africa today? No Pan-African solidarity?

🔸Famba Mexi, famba! We need new leaders.🇿🇼

I stand with South Africans As Namibians, we should be very careful not to blindly go against South Africans whenever concerns about immigration are raised and immediately label everything as xenophobia. The moment we dismiss every concern as xenophobia, we risk opening ourselves to the same challenges in our Namibia that we work hard to keep peaceful, stable and functional. South Africans are increasingly being gaslighted to feel that being frustrated about illegal immigration, crime and the ultimate breakdown of their fabric automatically makes them xenophobic. That dangerous oversimplification could easily happen in Namibia too if we are not vigilant. As Namibians we have built a culture where corruption is not casually accepted. We live in a country where politicians, CEOs, directors, public officials can be arrested when they misuse public resources. That is not just the stance of the Police, the Anti-Corruption Commission, or one political party, but our collective stance as Namibians. We care deeply about our country and what could happen if we become careless. We challenge wrongdoing in Parliament, on radio stations, in taxis, in newspapers, in offices, in WhatsApp groups, at police stations, in courts, etc. We speak up because we value accountability. That culture is not to be compromised to accommodate skin colour. Not to say there's zero corruption here, but there is a strong public expectation that leaders must be accountable. We care how the public feels. Even within the ruling party, many people genuinely want progress and national development rather than theft and self-enrichment. We speak out when public resources are misused that even something as simple as a politician’s child posing on an official government vehicle paid for by taxpayers becomes a national conversation. That level of scrutiny protects our standards unlike I'm other countries where children of the corrupt openly flex with designer clothes and stacks of money. My concern? If we allow people who ran down their own countries to come here and repeat the same patterns, we risk damaging what we have built. I don't want a Namibia where our children are exposed to more drugs, prostitution, organized crime, or corruption networks because of blind loyalty to a race. Foreign nationals who come to South Africa should respect the laws of that country. Be there legally, contribute positively, do not come to add to crime, corruption, or instability. Every country already has enough internal challenges to solve. To me, that is basic respect when you are a visitor in another country. You contribute positively to the house you enter, not negatively, because when things deteriorate, some people can always return home but citizens remain to deal with the consequences. I stand with the principle that countries have a right to protect opportunities for their own people while still caring lawful, respectful visitors fairly, but not as a priority. I cannot imagine a day where Namibians are made to feel guilty for wanting their children to have priority access to opportunities in their own country. I have seen situations in sectors like engineering, valuation, land surveying, architecture, health, and other professions where locals struggled to enter industries that foreign professionals were accommodated in. That reality has frustrated many young Namibians trying to build careers because they were being sabotaged, purposely failed in exams even at varsity. I know we're being gaslighted to believe we can also go and compete for opportunities in those countries. If you're running away from there when it's your home, how stupid am I to believe there's something for me there? I cannot be tricked out of Namibia. Our country is beautiful, built through discipline, and we should never fall for labels being put on South Africans for trying to protect what they've built.

Bad mouthing us won’t get you legal papers!

Supporting a nation that weaponizes xenophobia against its own continent isn't pan-Africanism. It's blind solidarity. True African unity requires mutual respect, not unconditional loyalty to a flag that rejects our people. Today, Mexico represents the hospitality we’re denied.

Zimbabwe is a very difficult place to live if you are just an ordinary citizen trying to get on with your life. Yesterday, a young man got in touch with me seeking financial assistance to travel to Zimbabwe because he had lost his father. I helped him, and his bus left Johannesburg at 5 p.m. It travelled all the way to Zimbabwe and got to the border in the morning, where it was cleared. It then continued its journey into Zimbabwe. When the bus got to Bubi, ZIMRA officials, who are Zimbabwe’s customs officials, sent it all the way back to the border for another search. As I write this, that bus is back at the border. This young man left Johannesburg yesterday at 5 p.m., and it is now past 6 p.m. the following day. He had already done more than half of his journey from Johannesburg, only to be forced back. I honestly do not understand why our government makes life so painful and difficult for ordinary people. It is cruel, painful, and heartbreaking. This is one of the reasons many young Zimbabweans do not want to return home when they complete their studies. If you are not part of the political elite circle, life can be incredibly difficult. Even those who are trying to live by the book and simply live normal lives are subjected to unnecessary hardship. It is heartbreaking. It is sad. The once respected Zimbabwe has become a mafia state.

Thank God SA is not part of Africa. What a humiliation🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

South Africans have had many black Africans supporting Mexico. That's what xenophobia and self hate gets you.

Here's another truth: South African citizens are statistically more likely to commit crime in S.A. than foreign nationals. While some organised syndicates involve foreign nationals, research & official data consistently show bulk of criminality is carried out by South Africans.

I love how African countries collectively hates South Africa 😂

African countries be like: At least we’re homophobic not xenophobic am I right?

I feel South Africans’ helplessness this evening. Over fifty countries are coming for them at once, and they don’t even know which scapegoat to pick for their usual retaliation. 😂

Reading through the comments online,the overwhelming percentage of Africans are supporting Mexico against South Africa in the World Cup fixtures.A country so much loved is unfortunately becoming a pariah.I hope this will change someday soonest.
