Three sets of queues for banking and people seem prepared to wait.

Edit:

Only one queue was for the ATM and it was the shortest.

Discussion It's not just undocumented foreigners they want gone

112 Upvotes

Whenever criticisms of March and March's negative rhetoric of foreigners is discussed, their supporters will often say it's only undocumented immigrants they are after, but anyone actually paying attention knows, that is not the case.

I'm not saying the man in this clip speaks on behalf of all March and March supporters(nor do I know if he's even apart of March and March) but what I am saying is that his sentiment is shared by many. When you have jacinta ngobese zuma saying false generalizations such as foreigners commit most crimes, are entitled, are taking all the jobs, etc, how can we not expect broad anti-immigrant sentiment to grow.

We are 29 days away from that deadline, and if we already have school children attacking foreigners( look up kraaifontein student riot) I can't imagine what will happen then.

I won't stay silent as a propaganda movement preys misdirected anger. You don't have to speak up, but at least keep yourself educated on the facts and share them with people who are being misled.

Discussion Anti-immigration protests lead to death of a young man

75 Upvotes

Protests and riots over immigration occur every few years and they always carry a death toll not only to migrants who come to this country legally or not, but even our own people have been the victims of attacks and murder from foreign national accusations.

The post above come from the sister of 19 year old Nhlamulo who was attacked and murdered in KwaNonqaba, Mossel Bay after being misidentified as foreign on the 31st of May 2026. He was singled out for being Tsonga and stabbed whilst others had their homes alight.

The leading movements fuelling migrant hate namely Operation Dudula has dismissed this claim as being "fake news" how American of them, they refusing to take accountability for the attitudes and violence they stoked using our problems to target the fundamental principles of our democracy "Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity".

How are we now to respond, what can we do as a country to repress or remove elements that clearly do not align with what we stand for as a nation?

South Africa is very diverse and we have groups that span over our borders, hatred towards what is foreign will only destroy us because South Africa is made of foreigners who agreed to be family. What will become of us if we devour and kill anyone who is foreign to us?

Self-Promotion Please help us translate requests for the languages of South Africa on Reddit!

38 Upvotes

Hi folks!

We're mods over at r/translator. We always strive to make our multilingual community the universal place on Reddit to go for a translation, no matter what language people may be looking for. We are however somewhat lacking in coverage for languages of South Africa, and were hoping some wonderful multilingual people here could help us out.

Would anyone be interested in helping translate any future requests for these languages on r/translator? You don't even need to subscribe to our subreddit! We usually get a request for it very occasionally and most requests that come in are pretty simple and casual and don't need advanced knowledge. If there's a language that you know that isn't on the list, you can also sign up for that, no problem. (We have a decent number of people already in the database for Afrikaans, but I'm including it in the table for coverage's sake)

You can easily unsubscribe from those messages at any time.


We have a notifications system that only sends you a message when a request for a specific language comes in. Just send a message to our subreddit bot at the link below.
