In the video, posted to social media site Tiktok, The White South African Man addresses undocumented foreigners directly.
He starts by saying that he doesn’t consider them foreigners, He just considers them his African Brothers and Sisters. He pleads with them to get documented, claiming that the ambushes and raids that occur against them are getting “crazy”.
While the video is short, he does make a disturbing claim and it should be noted that he doesn’t provide any evidence for this claim.
I believe that claiming ambushes and raids are happening against foreigners, without providing any proof of it, can be dangerous. It makes it seem like natives of the Country are targeting one specific group, which can make people believe that South Africans are xenophobic.
Unfortunately crossing into South Africa without the permission of the authorities is a crime and while I don’t believe that foreigners should be punished for it, I don’t blame South Africans for not wanting people to be here illegally. I don’t believe that wanting people to not commit crimes in your native Country is xenophobic.
I would like to urge people to be more understanding of what South Africans have to deal with because of illegal foreigners in the Country and find a way to unite both South Africans and foreigners instead of making baseless claims that South Africans are Xenophobic.
