I have spent a good two weeks in South Africa most recently in different parts of Gauteng and I also had the opportunity to drive deep into the CBD of Johannesburg im a witness to what South African are complaining about undocumented foreigners have run down the gold City of Johannesburg. These people have literally hijacked buildings in the City occupied them by force without paying bills some of these buildings if not all of them are so dilapidated because there is there is no maintenance how can they be maintained if rent is not collected how is that possible that these foreigners occupied the buildings free of charge. Those that are saying South Africans are xenophobic must go and observe the damage done by undocumented foreigners in the CBD of Johannesburg half of the city is rotten with buildings being run down there have immensely harmed the economy of South Africa, where in the world would undocumented foreigners walk into a country and enjoy the economy of that country free of charge South Africans must fight this to the end. Within those buildings occupied by foreigners all sort of criminality re being carried out from drug pushing, human trafficking, illegal gambling, pimping and all sort of criminal activities which are engineered in those buildings then manifest in the society of South Africans so the campaigns led by March March Movement have a genuine course to address this matter. Just because the world was sympathizing with South Africa during the dark days of aparitheid undocumented foreigners have no right invade the country and iligally grab the economy then expect South Africans to fold arms and say nothing about it this is not fair to South African citizens undocumented foreigners must just pack and go to fix their own countries so they can be conducive for settlement nothing is for free in this world.
