Between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2024, there were more than 1.5 million mentions online regarding immigrants, with the main topics centered on the employment of immigrants, alleged crimes they commit, and calls to deport them. This negativity seems to have accompanied the rise of political parties that campaign for tougher immigration laws such as Patriotic Alliance and Action SA.
In May alone, the conversation saw over 450,000 mentions with top hashtags such as #Abahambe, related to the Patriotic Alliance's border patrol activities led by Gayton McKenzie. Others included #PutSouthAfricaFirst; #ElectionResults; #SAElections. Election-related hashtags, #ElectionResults, and #SAElections24, motivated discussions on the EFF's performance. Most reposted content was that the EFF lost votes because it failed to"prioritize" South Africans.
