SA lacks the sound economy required to absorb an uncontrolled flood of foreigners

Zimbabwean nationals return to SA via the Beitbridge border. Picture: SUPPLIED

Foreigners do well when moving to countries with growing economies and low unemployment . They also do well to fill the gaps left by a well-educated society as they move up the economic ladder. However, in SA we do not have the sound and growing economy required to absorb an uncontrolled flood of immigrants, and that is not helped by an unemployment rate approaching 50%.

While I do not condone xenophobic riots, one must have a certain amount of sympathy for the root cause of these outbreaks. Those of us reading Business Day and commenting are far removed from the reality of life in the lower echelons of our society. We cannot afford immigrants and the government should recognise that. It is time for the continent to rid itself of the looting political class and incompetent governments.

LETTER: West only cares about itselfWorld is reaping the consequences of EU blocking vaccine exports until they were taken care of So...? Not new news... Most countries only care about themselves, sort of how it works.... Don't know any African country that care more about others, than themselves... So. This is fact. Been since the dawn of time. Grow up. Get used to it. Stop playing the poor me / race/ i am poor/ utopia card Seems perfectly natural to me.
