DURBAN HAS BECOME A GATEWAY FOR UNDOCUMENTED ARRIVALS WHILE OUR GOVERNMENT CLAIMS IT CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THE VERY BORDERS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US.
Iyoh, Bathong, the numbers keep climbing in Durban and nobody seems to have the answer to the most basic question: who is coordinating this influx? ๐ฟ๐ฆ The government sits with empty pockets talking about job creation while the border fence crumbles like it was built from sand. Mara, if we cannot even fund the infrastructure to secure our own perimeter, how exactly are we supposed to manage anything else? This is not hysteria, this is arithmetic.
What we are watching is a failure of planning and will, aowa. ๐ Nigeria did not become what it is because of careless borders and we all know this truth. The conversation about global migration is fine for universities but South Africa cannot afford to become a transit hub while pretending we have the resources to absorb the consequences. The choice is not between compassion and securityโit is between having a functioning state or not having one. Eh, simple as that. ๐ญ
Government budgets are moral documents, they show what a nation actually values. Right now our budget shows that we value everything except the basic capacity to protect our sovereignty. ๐จ We are living inside a contradiction that will not resolve itself and the people in Durban are watching this play out in real time. Haibo, something has to give and soon, because this trajectory ends nowhere good.
