Khanyamezele aku se ekhaya kwakhe apha.amalungelo owashiyile elizweni lakubo

So they have space to accommodate undocumented foreigners yet they claim to not have land for South Africans staying in shacks.Its so sickening to say the least. So foreigners are more important than South Africans 😡😡.So they can go ahead and multiply in their own land

Le ba fa too much attention this people

Now they want to tell us what to do in our country they want to treated like kiddies no other way they need to accept that it's our government efforts

Send them home. They are not refugees just opportunists who came short.

We have crisis to deal with

They can fokof moes.

Wow, the tents look decent to me from the picture I'm seeing on screen. While I was studying in Durban, I lived in a room that was previously used as a toilet. I survived & got my Masters degree.

Maybe we should move them to the Hilton Hotel.

Why can't their presidents come pick them up then

Take them back to their countries

TheOtherView3 These are the low quality idiots that totally destroyed a church

Deport dis people

Khanigoduse leminqundu...

They must go back home

Can someone send these people back home. Please. They like attention these ones.

Chase the parasites home... where they belong

Dirty things

Fokof with those people mahn, who the hell do they think they are. They never try this shit in their land, but here it's free for all. They must really go now

That's why we see a high number of homeless people in Mzansi, it because they are not happy at their homes. So if the foreigners are not happy here then they should leave in peace,nobody is forcing them to stay. That is only fair.

To hell with them

Indeed South Africa is a democratic country

They are crazy they must learn to appriciate. What do they want really. ungreatfulppl

I guess they should be deported, ungrateful cows.

Ele gore y basaye gae vele?

All tweets I have seen shows how Africa will be never united.. It Bette apartheid people must come to test covid-19 to Africa bcoz africain are ballshit

When the SAA Plane returns from Germany,,it must take this ungrateful bastards and drop them in their country

Then they must voestek maan, we can’t deal with their petty issues. We are also stressed feel like prisoners in our home. And we are going through a lot as a country, this is not the time to be nursing step children.

They want to stay in surburbs,This foreign they must go bck to their countries pls,This is our tax money.

They can leave if they want... We pay our rent and they are being accommodated and fed for free yet they are not happy...sies man!

TheOtherView3 Abanyi perhaps?

Hulle moet huis toe gaan. Its unfair that S.A has to deal with its citizen and them in this pandemic. They are ungrateful and arrogant. Gabana mekgwa xem such visitors are umwelcomed here.

Oh just shut up already. We have a global crisis, suck it up, man up and be part of the solution not the problem. Ungrateful people constantly abusing your host.

Now they are getting pregnant on a foreign country so they can be entitled to medical facilities and SASSA. This is frustrating as the unemployment rate is high.

Send them away ...

Take them back to their respective countries

Then they must go to their countries

As a visitor 1 needs to be a visitor nt try demand & expect more than a visitor. eir own gov is not even helping bcz they are being opportunists. They have flats & businesses during the day the man go to their shops & collect rent. Ey are just saving money & milking e situation

Mabagoduke plzźzzz

The reason why they moved from their countries was because they were unhappy about something, so why do they have to be satisfied by force?

Surprising enough they still make lots of babies

They said they don’t want to go back to their countries, so this is it!

I think it’s about time they are dropped at their home country embassies now! Please!

I am just tired of these people ..they must just leave SA

Black people are always unhappy. Go holiday brothers.

Abafakwe emkhunjini everyone will tell the driver ukuth usalaphi

I think they must go home because now their using kids and which is not okay with the pregnant woman

Looks more comfortable then the SAns place they stay in! Why did they not separate them to minimize their power? This just a silent thought

Let them be unhappy yes this is our country we don't care about them we're much concern with our lives families and other relatives they denied the opportunity given to them by our leaders &UN now they must camp outside there it's ultimately their choice or Go home Please...

Load this lot up on trucks and throw them over the border. Enough is enough with their tantrums.

Freebies while there are South Africans who are sleeping in the street around Belivelle, Belivelle South and Delft

What are they still doing here, send them home.

So what!! No words for these ungrateful people!

Deport them

Some even got pregnant, it's nice there, it's better than in their own countries.

My question is many foreign governments like Germany are repatriating their nationals back home where is their governments to take them home. South Africa repatriated it’s people from China am I missing something 🙄

Do they pay tax?

Kganthe, is our country owe them to be here? What's so difficult just to pack and go back to the hole you came from?

Deport the lot of them

Our government is too kind to these fellow African brothers and sisters! The special treatment they are receiving from S.A government is something they wouldn't get from their own governments

They must go back to their countries. Yinile kunini sigezeleka

can we focus on the pandemic for now will deal with them after this us some of our citizens are lock in a shack but you won't hear them complain

They are unhappy about their countries, unhappy about being moved & unhappy about new accommodation. They seem to think their happiness is everybody's priority. tsek

Oh dear...send them back to nbongobongo land

South african politicians are enjying this nonsense nd its nt even funny we are being disrespected by foreigners in our own land

Then please going home

Bring them one by one... They will never say that again.

Bayahlanya

I am grateful for the ungrateful people crossing my way. They show me who I don't want to be.

Stop giving this idiots attention

Let them go to their country so that our street kids can have that accommodation... They r very much lucky that they have accommodation. Our own people don't have such

They r ungrateful they must go back to their country our government don't owe them anything.

Arg! But they were staying on the streets

Same happens with migrants going to Europe. Want to take and take and want everything and dictate

Sies ba laaf!

Let them Voetsek in our country

These people must go finish n klaar

Meanwhile the real problem....Most Non essential South Africans have already lost their jobs

These ones are taking advantage serious 😏

This people are complaining too much maan

Beggars can't be choosers

While our South African homeless brothers and sisters are housed in tents under a bridge and in a sports stadium... Good prioritizing GovernmentZA

Doesnt matter where u move them, they wont be happy

South Africa should have camps for refugees. It would give the country better control and teach people to have respect for the country that host them. Did the ANC not live in camps when they were exiled? The disrespect and arrogance of our foreigners is our downfall.

They will never be happy.. Mabahambe, they are too demanding and disrespectful

Dear refugees I was also once a refugee here in SA but I educated myself hustle, now I am enjoying and contributing in this country by paying tax and do what’s good for SA please stop being too choosy remember south citizens somewhere they living in a very worse condition

Mama_Bridgie Can the media stop reporting about these people now. Our own people do not have even that bed/tent to hide in. Most are sharing one room with 5 people . We should be prioritizing those now. Infact their countries must repatriate them once

Why is our government after the people who are ungrateful while there are a lot of serious things to focus on, COME to VAAL TRIANGLE

Why is our Government entertaining these Clowns. They must go back to their countries. How did they come to South Africa? Yeerr

We didn't invite all these illegal inhabitants to occupy SA and help drain our economy. Our own citizens are without basic amenities in poor townships but these entitled, unwanted illegal squatters are making demands on our Government? They must go back to where they belong.

If there are not happy, ey must go back to their country finish klaar

Ungrateful all I can say piss off back to your countries then

Why do we need to be updated in this

Victim mentality turning greedy

How much money and resources is being wasted on those people? Deport them back to their countries, should have happened years ago

Baselapha? Didn't the UN send them to Europe where they badly wanted to be transported to?!

Gov must stop pleasing those foreigners, if they not happy they must vokof to their countries. We have crisis at the moment, no time to entertain them

This is getting out of hand now don't we have strict laws to deal with these kinds of problems

Why do they feel so much entitled? They must go back to their own countries if what they are being given it’s not enough to them.

Time to look into this minister not good enough for human use,you call them refugees I call them AFRICANS.

They made it clear that they don't want assistance from S.A. government so who are they complain to ? I never saw poor people who are so disrespectful like these people . We all came to S.A. for better life but these ones came to cause problems

Let them go home, ayigube shayisaa

Western Cape please provide these honorable members with accommodation in fancy hotels until their houses are completed.

Well of course.. They will never be happy.. Perhaps they prefer a tent in the bush

Can somebody explain why these people haven't been deported to yet?Cause as it seems,they are unhappy about everything offered🤷🏽‍♂️,en they say they want to leave RSA

So what thy doing there. BT it's fine How long now

They should be taken beyond South African borders so they can go wherever they'll be happy. Why should we be held ransom by refugees? South Africa is too generous

When JZ allowed the Methodist to help those pple it was like a good move.. not CR brot a new dimension of removing those refugees.. why the ppl unhappy is tht thy were used to their old place nd Church security now this new thing.. remember new love is not true love..

Come on we all African why do people have to be like this to other Africans thou.

There are a lot of townships in SA without electricity and water. And their cries fell on deaf ears. I am not shocked that they are unhappy about this place. We should give them one last option..prison.

It's time South Africa open refugee camps like other African countries.

Fuck them

Can't they just go to their countries. I am tied of these people now

Repatriation is the best decision that must be taken by government

We also unhappy about them being staying in our country and causing alot of problems for us!

Do they even have homes in their own countries?

Don't they call themselves refugees? Beggars can't be choosers, period.

These people must be treated nicely like what we did to your ancestors during apartheid

Let them be unhappy ...our priorities should be with our people ..our senior citizens are more important then a bunch of freeloader.. send them back ... our children who are at home with not enough food .. they taking away our citizens rights ..

They cry for electricity as if they had it in their countries.

Sabcnewsonline, is that statement newsworthy? Come on guys,don’t waste our tv license’s money.

Why

If they are not about what our country offer 🤔 they must pack the bags and go backs to their country simple abc

They must go back where they came from

What they want,I mean they must Go home coz we busy with the virus pandemic,now they add more Problems to our government They must go home coz we don't have time for all their needs

Better than the church where they came out gasping for air. Appreciate.

Have you interviewed the community where they will be moved to ? Apparently there’s a lot more to this than meet the eye ....

Shocking🤦‍♀️

The r given a space to stay what else do they need

Lol they left home having no accommodation mos,,,😂😂🙄

Why don't they back to their country?

Those people must be deported finish and klaar.

Geewiz so they want to dictate there free accommodation

Go back to your country

who cares .they should appreciate what south Africa is doing for them

Excuse me? But why don’t they go back

Build them mansions, angithi niba moshile.

That's being problematic now

They ought to go back home!

And they say they'd rather go home cos SA don't love them. How many times have they said they'd rather go home. Haaaaka...

They must be grateful to Coronavirus...how many citizens are homeless?🤐🤐🤐

Bring them to Alexander, I want to see something

They must go back home

Where are the fighters

I guess no one wants them back home .

Just pack your bags and leave our Cape Town please your family misses you back home , they act like brats I’m just tired 😴 of these foreigners bullying us in our country , Africa is for South Africans only please not for all.

Than the country wonders why we wanna kick there ass so hard back to there country...let me put this in South Africa style TSEK TO THOSE FOREIGNERS.

I am sure they can go home ..

So what must happen 🤣🤣🤣

Mxm these people are spoilt.

Unathi_Kwaza Beggars can't be choosers!

Like seriously now, why not go home then, we like to entertain attention seekers in this country, cut long story short Kha hu iwe hayani finish and klaar

Mabonya

Beggars must not be choosers

I'm really tired of these ungrateful guys yaz...

Mmmmmmm....

In their countries they were not even allowed to breath😒wtf

They must swim cross the Atlantic to Canada

What did they expect, 5 star hotels...they had ample opportunities to leave church nd reintegrate back to their original communities but they refused..

Tell them to fotsek to their countries

I'm sure that marquee is ten times better than their actual habitats in their countries.

We've had it with these ppl can they just go back to their countries. We cant a cent on them

Their happiness is not our top priority at the moment

Send these ungrateful naaiers home on a bus

Go home

Why can't they go already Fotsekang hle bathong plus re batla go itsheba

Sent them home

Dear Dept of Home Affairs DEPORT DEPORTATION DEPORTED

Going home to their countries will be the solution for those people

This foreigners must go back to their own country.... Already our government is struggling.... Recent downgrades. Yooh ha ba tsamaye.... Bloody nonsense

We tired of this people's drama they must go

Deport then we dont want disrespectful people here

Beggars can’t be choosers. 🤷‍♂️

Load-shadding is the solution, turn off electricity in Cape Town durring the night and sent red ants to deal with them

Unhappy Send them to Robbin island

Take those ppl home we have many problems in our country can't they see

Beggars are not choosers, why don't they go back to their home countries

saze savelelwa.

😅😅 bayasangana, Si busy ne corona, Ibona ngalana bafuna ukuhlala e hhotela, Geeede, unhappy for who, for what, for why,

They are free to go home

Those people must go home we have our own problems & they just decided to come & add on those problems, can't we put them in a driverless boat, push it into the sea & tell them it's going to Canada where they dream of going to

Luxury can be catered for in their home countries. It's time they go home, we have a lot to deal with now

We have too much stress as a country to worry about some ungrateful foreigners

A mzansi national can't make any demands in a foreign country, we all know that we adhere to rules of law. If they don't like it they must leave.

In zulu we say 'Isisu Somhambi singangentso yenyoni' so they must accept whatever they are given

Badakiwe

Abahambe Ke..

What were they expected? Five star hotel? 🤣

They are ungrateful whiners and never satisfied. They are sent here to deliberately provoke us 🙄🤔

They must just 4tsek and leave us alone we won’t be told what to do by foreigners in our country

Go home Roger

When are they living our country

They must go and find happiness in their countries.

Millions of South African are not happy with their homes so kuthini? 🤷

My heart is bleeding when I see those people who don't respect me by not respecting my country are still eating my food, drinking my water, I mean my tax.

Well very good, then they can go back to their country to find an accommodation that will make them happy🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♂️

Is government really doing enough to assist foreigners? Winter is coming and they are living in terrible conditions

Government should consider repatriating them

😕 they want what red carpet

Cant they just go home until we all know how to deal with this coronavirus?gape batho ga ba naganele other countries mann. Ka nako tše thata everyone swanetje a ba gae with their loved once.

Laba bacabanga ukuthi basemakubo la. Abahambe beyolungisa emakubo nathi khona esise busy ngakho la. Ayigubhe!!!!

At least they r on the street.

Please stop reporting these people, they don't deserve our airtime please. Yerrrrrrrr

What's so special about this foreigners?they should just leave this country we're already in the mess and they just increasing! 😏😏

But they say they need our help and theh want to go home. A ba tsamaye.

The Gvt knows, they are benefiting a lot from this Refugees. There is something called Humanitarian Aid given to countries and given according to number of refugees a country hv. So you busy complaining the Government is receiving US$. Ask your self why they are keeping them.

We as south africans we never call anyone to come and swamp our economy that's our tax money that they are using so to be even all of you go back to your country of origin finish en klaar

They can ALWAYS go home

Berger's never be choosers

Badakiwe about😒😏, sibhizi ngumkhuhlane bona bayabheda😡😠😞

Why don't they drive them and dump them outside the country? We really are paying for stupid stuff here. They are assisted with our (taxpayer's) money and they want comfort? We are really lenient with law transgressors.

The hell is wrong with them? Government is going out of their way to accomodate them asses!

Enough now with these people, we are sick and tired with them.,They must just go back home.

We have thousands of South African homeless people.....we cannot allow parasites malarializing us🙄

The same route that they used coming here fortunately it is still existing

Our Government should allocate one just one train that will travel from Cape to Cairo delivering foreigners home

Go home baba

What do they want Five Star Hotel, still cheaper to deport them back to their countries

This is what you guys are good at commenting on, I have told myself that I would always laugh and rejoice when a south African man is dealing with there woman cos is normal to you guys

Basile marn ababantu,mabagoduke yhooo

Fuckem

Can't we just deport them?

This one's are not going to hold the country in Ransom. Gaba voetsek ba lapisha, we are dealing with serious matters covid 19 and Economic meltdowns.

They shouldn't be here in the first place. We are dealing with our own problems, we definitely don't need this right now.

Why is the government handling them with kid gloves? Our government is useless

Then they should be happy back home.

Show them the border ,we being abused now

Thy must go home were thy gonna feel safe n secure also be happy!

Send them back to where they come from

F... em

What's so special ngalabantu abayemakubo maan nx!

They must fokof rhaaa

Why care about foreigners vele?

This Corona is attacking wrong people. It should go solve those foreigners at that church

Who cares

So y ain't thy going back home

If you foreigners are unhappy with what the South African government has given you for free just do everyone a favour and go home so sick and tired of your complaints and demands go complain in your own country

They can't get it through their thick skull that the World is in crisis.they are forever complaining.

_AfricanUnion do something with your people we are tired now

Offer them transport to take them to their respective countries so they can be happy nxa

Jah, if they are not happy they must leave in PEACE!

That's fine

At least they have accommodation that their countries are failing to provide them with.

They must go home. We doing our best as South Africa 🇿🇦. If they can’t be grateful then our boarders are open for them 🙏

Yazi we won't get peace thina la e South Africa hayi 🚮🚮 le rona re nale mathata a rona why can't they just live n go back to their country iyoooh re tlholwa ke ntho tsa motseng wa rona le lona hape 🤔😏

Deport them

RSA government is to lenient, take these people to robben island and I'll happy be one of the citizens to turn a blind eye.

This problem has been allowed to persist for too long. An effective solution would only be deportation to their country of origin. And those who seek asylum should be accelerated through the necessary channels.

Then they must go home, why is the government not sending them back. Not to sound like I am xenophobic but like really now. They want 5 star accommodation.

South Africa is really generous in this time of crisis this people they should have been out of our country before lockdown. All foreigners must go out of country sibacengani kanti.

They must go be unhappy in their countries labo 🙄🙄

Yoooh yooh yooh hai suka we're facing a lot as a country maan.

Aekhona these people must be kicked out of our country. The disrespect!!

Ungrateful

These people really wanna live the American dream in South Africa neh

Germany is taking its citizens back home. Arcadia and the Muckleneuk areas are full of embassies. Let their ambassadors come out, get in touch with our government on ways to their citizens out of our country, it's that simple!

Let them go back home where they will be happy, we don’t owe them 5 star accommodation

Unathi_Kwaza And who cares....🤷🏽‍♂️

Why the government is not sending these people back into their countries

Bahlanya they espect everythng throught to our govermnt🙄 they must pack the bags to their countrys thats all

When are they repatriated by their country of origin....

Then they should go home
