South African elections: Rising tension over illegal migration | BBC News


There is rising tension in South Africa over illegal migration – and it’s dominating the political agenda in the run up to next month’s general election.

The government claims it’s tightening security on its borders.

But the BBC visited the country’s busiest crossing post and witnessed migrants crossing unchallenged.

It’s a way in for…

  1. SBCN News – 11 May 2020
    "The ANC and their connected elite is fast becoming seriously more and more fearful about their exposure which is fast gathering momentum in terms of their looting and money laundering web.

    As the exposure of the inept organisation progresses, their voter base will sharply dwindle and they will become very defensive of their peripheral and inner circle of criminals and frantically depend on those equally corrupt and in support of them in the NPA and justice system.

    * Cyril Ramaphosa knows of the serious demise of our nation, but he is governed by the looting and implicated members of the ANC & NEC – both he and Jacob Zuma heavily implicated. Right now, in the history of South Africa, there is almost a frantic frenzy in the rape of our financial resources by these decedent members.

    My prayer is, and I thank God which appears to being answered speedily, is for and that through this exposure process, their implosion – where they turn on one another, blow the whistle on one another (it's beginning) …and finally collapse! …and collapse they will"!
    Ace Magashule and Jacob Zuma to be instrumental in this Implosion.

  2. One mad politician Julius Malema supports this nonsense he is even campaigning on a borderless South Africa ticket. This is against the backdrop of only 15% of a 65m population being responsible for the tax revenue. This can only be madness on steroids.

  3. Amazing how many "refugees" are fleeing their own countries. Countries that has been 'freed' from colonialism decades before S Africa has been 'freed'. Still something left in S Africa to feed on… ?! (after our government of course have finished "eating." )

  4. Zimbabweans voted for Mugabe for decades and and when he totally destroyed that Country they decided it's time to come here and help the ANC destroy this Country

  5. It is a common trend for ANC to blame foreigners targeting Zimbabweans. The real issues are not migration but CORRUPTION. As South Africans we have to fight corruption and divert attention to minor issues when billions of rands are lost through tenders

  6. Africans stop listening to these idiots from e west. Really if a person cross the border illegally with donkeys and take your job as you always say. Tell u what, just know you are useless.

  7. The migration are brought in officialyy lets not lie every election the story took place yess; they have something to do with the vote thieves are scared to be out sted they must be voted to stay in and hide south african palament is not a proper palament untill the day we invited Rassian President to come and help us like Traore

  8. Why is BBC suddenly worried about SAn borders? Few months before elections? Were you not amongst those who were saying SAns are xenophobic? Human Rights organizations in SA are funded by you and have been fighting SAns who were against illegal foreigners. You have been against Dudula that were fighting against illegal take over of SA by illegal foreigners. How interesting that now you want to show failure of the ANC government, when you have been heavily involved in it. You think we are stupid neh?

  9. Since these people came here they breed highest crime ,lawlessness like selling of drugs, stealing of copper from electrical cable s ,human trafficking, Our homes are like mini prisons with electrical fences, high walls,highjacking of cars Criminals are hand in gloves with police. High unemployment is order of the day .Graduates are at home and all skilled peole are being side line not to get jobs only unskilled are assuming high positions in Municipalities in every town and cities.

  10. Mandela after assigned to be President he was like Malema ,he removed all defensive patrol soldiers to please his neighbour's by divorced hii wife Winnie and married Samora Machel's widow and every body on the continent comes without documents. When we speak against that behaviour we were labeled zenophobic by the government officials. This people they do as they want here. All regions of Africa are parked up like sardines in every town and cities also in every rurals of SA. We are not considered anymore by ANC elite .

  11. This is how the bbc operates, they show and state what the people say against s.a. they have nothing in zimbabwe, but they complain about having no electricity and water in s.a.
    Trouble making politics offer them a home in the uk much better solution.
    The worst of the worst reporting.

  12. One Afrca it's rubbish this one africa is South Africa there's already influx in the country ANC & EFF are the cause Malema went around Africa calling them to come and work in South Africa they are making chaos deliberately and benefit out of it
