'We are, as South Africans, a friendly and hospitable people, and it is inconsistent with our values to be xenophobic.' These were the words President Ramaphosa delivered during his Heritage Day address at the Union buildings in Pretoria on Saturday.

President Cyril Ramaphosa said ubuntu was part of South Africa's heritage and should be extended to those from other countries.

These were the words President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered during his Heritage Day address at the Union buildings in Pretoria on Saturday. Ramaphosa's address preached a message of ubuntu in the wake of xenophobic attacks and a narrative around foreign nationals being pushed by some political and community leaders.

Cabinet decided that the arrangement should be terminated by December and that permit holders should apply for a visa to remain in South Africa on the basis of a list of critical skills.Earlier this month, Motsoaledi extended the ZEP for the last time, until June, after the department received very few applications from Zimbabwean nationals for ordinary visas.

Lisaleesolomon1 South Africans inherited the ANC cronic disease. Lets celebrate our poverty, colossal crime rate, no electricity, no jobs and high food prices.

Lisaleesolomon1 In darkness

Lisaleesolomon1 The common cultural heritage in SA is stealing corruption, incompetence, destruction of SOE's etc. SA has absolutely nothing to be proud of. What there was has been destroyed

Lisaleesolomon1 The biggest problem facing South Africans, is a weak and spineless government!

Lisaleesolomon1 Hy praat weer kak.

Lisaleesolomon1 Loadshedding and lockdowns are also inconsistent with our values

Are we also hospitable to law breaking foreign criminals too?

Who was he talking to?

Lisaleesolomon1 They must come here without documentation

Kegana dis 'WE' part. Don't involve us pls

Lisaleesolomon1 You are something else cyril

Lisaleesolomon1 As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Catherine_nico I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Catherine_nico

Lisaleesolomon1 ...with a legacy of loadshedding

Lisaleesolomon1 Political leaders are billionaires, working class living on the breadline and more out of work than in work. Fuckall to celebrate, it’s a shitshow.

Lisaleesolomon1 The only common heritage we have as SAns is load shedding.

Lisaleesolomon1 Oh piss off please!!!!!

That's why we get walked all over by others

My apologies I'm not feeling very 'friendly' tonight. Apart from stage 5 elec blackouts we now have to endure 2 days of no water due to infrastructure vandalism. Not enough policing or deliberate sabotage in PE/NMB - this is no matter how you look at it, brought to us by the ANC

2024 Mashaba and Mackenzie will take over from these sellouts

Tsek!!

Lost touch with reality. Women and children are traffiked broad day light in malls.

Your party destroyed the home affairs department with corruption Your party destroyed the labour department with corruption The youth of SA has such a high level of unemployment But you tells South Africans to stop being xenophobic WOW, pathetic

TRANSLATION: You patriots are ruining the ANC's plans to destroy SA through uncontrolled illegal immigration.

Bullshit is what we don’t want.

Mr President Cyril Rampies Ramaphala you can do nothing inconsistent with your morality can you sir and Mr President the word inconsistent means unstable also... If want unstable keep on defending these illegal aliens

South africans are not xenophobic.they have accomodated foreigners for only today that foreigners took advantage of our corrupt governance and turned to kill rob and rape our people.this will come to an end with or without the mafias of MYANC and EFF

Zenophobia is phala phala.

Xenophobia is defined as “dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries”. Therefore the demand that people who are in the country illegally must be deported back to the countries of their origin is not xenophobic. Stop misusing the word and misleading people.

We are proudly Zenophobic vele.

Values se moer! Ubuntu won’t protect you from these illegal criminals, we’re in this mess as a country because re lokile too much! They must voetsek back to their countries!

We are the only country that talks like this. Other countries have laws and control immigration hence they don't have to make justifying statements in public.

Afrika unite🤝🏿

Useless Ramaphosa

The same Leader who doesn't secure our borders, killed employment,forced many into poverty?

Who is 'We'?

Phalaphala values

So you’re finally admitting that BEE is inconsistent with our values? Because that’s a xenophobic policy. CyrilRamaphosa

We can't be xenophobic,because our leaders own multimillion businesses in foreign countries

But the several amendments (changes) to the migration policies (and laws) create room for the argument that the government is making it increasingly very difficult for foreign nationals to live/work in South Africa.

A kantse a fokofa le bona🚮

What a genius!

Didn’t you have photographers to take him live pictures while speaking, why are you promoting his ANC ambitions? Votseak

Loadshedding is also inconsistent with the Constitution CyrilRamaphosa

And his/their values aren't ours, they're theirs so they must not impose them on us. We're proudly xenophobic🇿🇦 and we need no one's approval!

Operation dudula

South Africans are very generous, show me another country with 3million illegal Zimbabweans, 1 million illegal Malawians, 1 million illegal Mozambicans, 600k illegal Nigerians, 500k illegal Basothos....
