In a recent statement, CIC Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa, issued a stark warning regarding the escalating tensions and violence directed towards foreign nationals within the country. Malema’s prophetic message was crystal clear: Once they are done with foreigners, they will come for you.
The impassioned address took place amidst troubling reports of xenophobic attacks and hostilities directed at foreign nationals, particularly within the Gauteng (GP) and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) provinces. Incidents of violence and discrimination against immigrants have raised concerns about the safety and well-being of those seeking a better life in South Africa.
Julius Malema’s words serve as a powerful call to action. He underscored the importance of unity and solidarity among South Africans, regardless of their origins. Waah, back to Limpopo, waah, you Xhosa back to Eastern Cape, and you Zulus go back to KZN – these divisive sentiments and actions have no place in a nation striving for harmony.
Malema urged South Africans to resist the divisive rhetoric and actions orchestrated by those who seek to exploit these tensions for personal or political gain. He pointed out that such behavior, exemplified by divisive figures like Gayton McKenzie, should be condemned and halted immediately. It is essential to address the root causes of these issues and work towards a more inclusive and tolerant society.
CIC Julius Malema warned us about such behaviour and said "once they done with foreigners they will come for you, waaah back to Limpopo, waah you Xhosa back to Eastern Cape and you Zulus go back to KZN". Gayton should be stopped now he is misleading. The issue is that GP/KZN. pic.twitter.com/XIYwk5gdV5

The CIC’s impassioned plea serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and understanding in a diverse nation like South Africa. It is a call for South Africans to recognize that the challenges they face can be overcome through collective efforts, rather than divisive actions that only serve to undermine the fabric of the nation. The road ahead is one that requires tolerance, empathy, and the rejection of xenophobia to build a better and more inclusive South Africa for all.
