South Africa Headlines News

'Beware of people who hijack slogans to portray hate and discrimination. You can be proudly South African without being xenophobic,' Cassper Nyovest said.

However, tweeps came for him, saying that he had not shown a similar interest in local movements mobilising for similar socio-economic issues like #PutSouthAfricaFirst.reason the world was “aware” of what was happening was due to Nigeria's celebrities bringing light to the movement and not acting like they “breathe flavoured oxygen”.hitmaker “never” comments on SA issues but only did so for issues affecting Nigeria.

The rapper said he believes that being a united nation will help black people move forward and beat adversity. So he expressed how the movement #PutSouthAfricaFirst should not be used for hate but to rather uplift the black race regardless of their origins. Cassper hit back at the tweep, saying he [the tweep] was so “obsessed” with “belittling” South African celebrities all day on social media after claiming that only the government had the power to make the change.

I always tweet about South African Issues. I see other South African Celebrities speaking out about our issues all the time. We do not have the power your government has to make the change. Yall are sooo obsessed with belittling South African celebrities all day on social media.Cassper went on to share that some people use the opportunity to hijack slogans to spread hate and discrimination, explaining how it was possible for one toshouldn't be used to hate anybody else.

I made a decision not to argue on twitter about serious matters because the people on twitter don't care as much as you. They will work you up mad , only for them to tell you that "It's not that deep fam".

Why is South African xenophobia only towards black people?

What is xenophobic about putting SA 1st coz my understang is prioritizing SA 1st

This is the begging of his career falling... He is going against the poor and his fellow SAns using slick words to undermine PutSouthAfricanFirst ... O tlhabisa ditlhong o belwa ke kgora now ... Imini yeza boy

We don't care about what some of S.A celebrities are saying about our PutSouthAfricansFirst movement. We know they don't care about PutSouthAfricansFirst they care about their brands and pockets. Phumakithi satan.

Dear Friends We agree wit u 2put RSA1st but Africans dont own ur Multichoice,Shoprite, V&A Mall,WineFarms, KPMG, or manage SOE’s, Escom, Transnet, which can create billions & employ masses if well managed,we hope u reach that desired level emancipation, bt leave Africa out of it

Qhubeka ucule wena Cassper stop with a lecture of xenophobic nonsense

CasperNyovestHQ wenziwe yilento 🍑oyikhothayo syoyoyo somfana buka manje awunazo nengqondo.I wonder who you are fooling because Foreigners are hijacking jobs that belongs to SAns, can you go to their countries to be a waiter? Can you get hired to drive trucks in their countries?

ITKHUMALO Our illiterate brothers shame

The so called celebrities must keep quiet vele siyazi bancenge amaGigs eAfrica.

This guy lives in sandton, this dude should be the last person to have an opinion about such issues. He is not staying in Thembisa for a reason. He wanted high gates community for security

🥱

He said he wants to be a Nigerian

Cassper is cocky and big headed. His will fall one day. Let him keep quiet. He doesn't comment about South African problems and GBV. Maybe he is related to Nigerians must

Cassper should focus on music. He must stop his homelands mentality. Sellout. He is desperate for attention.

Cassper Nyovest must stick to singing and looking pretty qha.

These so-called Celebrities are really weird

Mxm...

We dont need your smallanyana opinion Casper PutSouthAfricansFirst

The problem is society has elevated dim wits who are barely literate and high school dropouts as leaders of society. That's very unfortunate. These people are good in singing qha!

What is this is Xenophobic nonsense. Interestingly, it only applies when South Africans express their frustration about the gov inability to put SAfricans First and the lawlessness which is by & large attributed to the invasion of illegal aliens. Casp must stick to music.

Who is he?... Why should we even bother listening to what he says or what he thinks?... What does he do for South Africans?... Just because he sings d Tito Mboweni's he think he is Obama now 🤷🤷

Being a xenophobe is a condition mainly caused by the way the person was raised, those people cannot help it, it's who they are. I stopped arguing with them, it's a waste of time.

Honestly, do people who work at News24 & tell people they're journalists by profession, seriously?

He must focus on being a Nigerian...South Africans are suffering coz of these foreigners, you can't even go hiking or biking without the fear of being attacked by them...PutSouthAfricaFirst

Our problem is we have elevated people whose skill is entertaining society into 'leaders of society' so their opinion carries a lot of weight when it shouldn't. School is important for this reason. Where is the link between xenophobia and PutSA1st ?

You are the one who are labeling south Africans xenophobic mos

casspernyovest Big Head, But emptiness,You're like SAmedia practitioners,calling people xenophobic when we point out illegal immigration, drugs, human trafficking, crime!You love Foreigners?are they the ones who made You? We supported you as SAns,now You think You Arrived!

This one has never been patriotic vele, never gave back to the SA community to where he is today. He is trying so hard to be ''adopted'' in Nigeria

PutSouthAfricanFirst is asking for the laws of the country to be uphold. *Undocumented immigrants must be sent back to the country of origin *Jobs are for locals unless skills required can't be find among locals. Why are we even having these discussions, IT IS THE LAW

ITKHUMALO As PutSouthAfricansFirst we should stop debating and repeating our intentions everyday to people who decided to be deaf on the subject... Those it's meant to serve knows the purpose... 'you can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep' They know the truth!

marinavanzyl Some are commenting to refute what he says while they are actually probing him right.

Cassper was complaining that radio stations and music channels are promoting foreigner nationals musicians. Why did he complain? Why does he wish to be a nigerian, cos in nigeria they support one of their own. That's y i don't buy music of those who puke.

He can also be proudly Nigerian without hating PutSouthAfricansFirst movement

Mxm I don't know why anyone would take anything this fool Nyovest would say. The man is not the sharpest tool in the shed, not by a long shot

Vokof wena cassper, which part you don't understand ya PutSouthAfricansFirst no where it portray xenophobic lona the privilege ones lenahana you better than others. Cos this this thing hasn't directly affected you but one day it will

Thank you for promoting us. PutSouthAfricansFirst you can't stop us

ITKHUMALO Shortpan who wish he was Nigerians

Mxm cass wa nyela

This gradeR journalists are getting their 'news' from Twitter this days 🤣🤣🤣 exposing stupidity and how clueless they are about laws in this country. Just saying foreigners to them is xenophobia but go ahead keep exposing yourselves

ITKHUMALO The very same who is standing by his so called “brothers”, bayomjikela ngelinye I Langa.

We don't take this sellout serious sorry,we don't take orders from useless celebrities worse this unpatriotic sellout he even wish to be Nigerian 🚮

ITKHUMALO Umaqinas nje u Cassper other countries are putting their citizens first,they dont want the same for SA Y no one is threatening or spreading hate these artists&politicians need to understand that they can't control citizens &when they fed up they act &soon must be vote them out

He should not quit his day job

Can you be proudly white without being racist?

casspernyovest south Africans must be prioritized first in our country. We're the taxpayers and we don't want illegal foreigners in our country. Money changed you bro you talk like those politicians who steal from the poor people. PutSouthAfricansFirst

Le Nigeria

👏👏👏

This is why his music is bad 😶

Usuqala ukungi nyanyisa manje wena,yr mates are in studios cooking nice tracks while wena ure busy following iPsaf.

Beware of celebrities and influencers like casspernyovest they will be paid and used to spread lies by media, politicians and protect their drug supplies. They are only working for their stomach they support everything that will bring money. Does he still wish to be a Nigerians?

Akame kancane le Nigerian wanna be.

Casper must just focus on his lame music‼️

I hate foreigners

Casper is wack. his opinion is wack,his Music is wack

Tsek

ITKHUMALO Not the smartest celeb, South Africans aren't xenophobic. This idiot is seeking attention.

Hayi uyanya lona. Kuba yena esidla izabhane likapoti yiyo lento ethetha okukunya

We are not Donald Trump

South Africa my beloved Country. South Africans by Origin I will always love and stand by your side. Visitors will only be respected if they behave like humans, and also if they comply with the rule of law.

Why are people busy saying that the PutSouthAfricanFirst denotes xenophobia? The slogan have nothing to do with Africans at all, they involve themselves in matters which are off no concern to them, we are saying to government & private sector priorities South Africans that’s all

MbetheSibusiso This guy asked every South African what does a matric certificate buy ..he is the last person to say anything about anything

Rest Nyovest, rest!!

There's a difference in 'proudly South African' and 'prioritise South African' he shouldn't beat around the bush; what exactly is he talking about?

Is this still Journalism? Wena Timeslive and no Cassper wenu; go and tell that kaka to the families of the ppl killed by these Zimbabweans on the R80 Freeway, the may SAns who are robbed and attacked by foreigners and the millions of unemployed SAns. Niyanya yazi. Nxxaa!

These are the celebrities are nauseating. This is our country we must be prioritized Finish!!!!

ITKHUMALO This is wht happens when our fellow black South Africans praise and promote mediocrity and talentless musicians like this Casper guy. Black South Africans please stop betraying yourselves with by enriching black fools who don't think twice about selling you out.

casspernyovest PutSouthAfricanFirst isn't about hating anyone but a plea to our government to put our needs first before the rest, same way other countries DO. It's a pity it has to come us to make that call for it to be seen as hate instead of coming from government, like 👇👇

ITKHUMALO In a foreign country u will be hated and discriminated against, there is no mistry in tht fact, people who honest with themselves accept and understand tht. But privileged SA and foreigners want to pretend as if they dnt Understand tht fact. I can't go Zim and expect to be loved

🇿🇦Ns stay away from Nigerians 🤔🤔

He's telling the truth

Focus on being a Nigerian and stay away from PutSouthAfricansFirst

I missed your tweet about anniversary ya the death of Mozambiquecan revolutionist Samora Machel and the also the birthday of Ntate Jonas Gwangwa. There is no sense in this slogan no matter which way you put it will always be about citizens feeling threatened by migrants.

Our artist died as paupers bcos their music is pirated by foreigners maybe yours is safe.Good for you.

Shame, people lost their lives in the struggle,JZ is still being persecuted for having not sold out,Mama Winnie suffered the same date,Chris Hani,Biko,Mahlangu etc paid the ultimate price.Dont be fooled by white media,we need our land back,whites must voetsek

Udakiwe lo Cassper wenu abantu babulawa ama foreigner everyday koJozi kodwa yena uzosuza la casspernyovest

There is no hate of anyone.What is it?lts we want our countrý back.

What the fuck is xenophobia that you always report about?

casspernyovest must go live in America and live us South Africans to deal with our problems PutSouthAfricanFirst

This Nigerian wanna be should stay away from PutSouthAfricanFirst.

Most believe xenophobia is a solution to their problems. It's a global village, xenophobia which goes with PutSouthAfricanFirst is ancient and has no place in the current world.

So we listen to Cassper? I dont even listen to this fool's nauseating so called music.

you must do research and stop taking what casper says,

akaworldwide must come sort short pants out please.

Uyanya lo with his boring music. No one is xenophobic here we just want illegal foreigners to be deported and south africans to be given 1st preference when it comes to employment

Ms_ThabiA A man who once said ' I wanna be American' and 'I'm influenced by American culture' Casper sit down🚮

casspernyovest MUST READ BOOKS AND ACQUAINT HIMSELF WITH POLITICS OF TH PAST AND THE DAY. HE OFTENS OPEN HIS MOUTH AND THEN EXPOSE HIS IGNORANCE. S.A. PEOPLE ARE NOT XENOPHOBIC BUT HAVE A CRISIS WITH FOREIGNERS COMING HERE 4 NOTHING. YENA DOES HE JUST GO 2 NIGRRIA WITH PAPERS?

Penny tail once said he wished he was Nigerian. So this coming from him doesn't surprise me. By the way the highway at R80 all the killings and robberies done recently were done by foriegn nationals

Cassper is singing for his supper we understand. When you are not affected you will never realize that your countrymen comes first. Question is must SAns not have jobs because we must accomodate neighbors who are not contributing to SA revenue first?

He once said he wish he was Nigerian

O ja pearl nou?

They are busy Catching feelings abo nyuthnyautafrikanyest

When foreign nationals kill South Africans like they are doing in Pretoria, taking out their eyes, casspernyovest never says anything.. We have Nigerians in prison charged wit human trafficking, he will never say anything. Why is he even associating our movement with hate?

The hydrogen power project is in pipeline and is being run by whites no single black person as I was watching the conference when its putsouthafricafirst will be there hashtagging to own it wake up

Yes Cassper is correct, we dont have to hate our neighbors in order to put our family first.

casspernyovest wa tagwa jwale.. O swere ke sebono we have bigger problems to deal with yena he's begging for Friendship at the expense of our pain..

Xenophobic must not be used to silence south africans from voicing their issues with both government and foreigners.. PutSouthAfricanFirst

Grootman lam🔥❤️🤞 i love this man he doesn't nurse egos and borrowed morals!!!

Someone goes to a foreign owned restaurant and you give orders I don't want to be served by a Zimbabwean what a hell is that

He got a point we need to issolate these hateful Afrophobes refers to themselves as PSAF.

Speak for yourself I am fully behind the movement PutSouthAfricanFirst, there is nothing xenophobic about it

Twitter is showing S.A journalism flames. Literally!!

South African first and down to Zimbabweans working in restaurants

He had a point and people twisted his word like they are now

Nou hy begin kaak'he should do his catfights with rappers and refrain from twerkin at the wrong crowd!! He doesn't kaak flavoured ice-cream, he kept his mouth shut when foreigners pelted cops with stones in jozi hy moet fokof
