A woman’s body isn’t something men are entitled to. If you believe women owe you sex, you’re part of the problem that normalises rape culture. It really is that simple

Based on global empirical data, there is no statistical evidence suggesting that South Africa is "overwhelmed" by foreign nationals when compared to other middle-income countries. While South Africa does host the largest absolute number of international migrants on the African continent, its proportion of immigrants relative to its total population remains entirely average on a global scale. The perception of an overwhelming influx is primarily driven by high local visibility in specific urban hubs and the economic frustrations of a post-pandemic recovery rather than disproportionate demographic data. Global and Middle-Income Comparisons When evaluating migration data from sources like the World Bank and the United Nations Population Division, South Africa's immigrant share aligns closely with or falls below many other middle-income nations: South Africa: According to the latest Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) reports, foreign-born individuals make up approximately 3.9% to 5.1% of the total population (roughly 2.4 to 3.1 million people out of 61 million). Jordan (Upper-Middle Income): Immigrants account for roughly 33% of the population due to regional displacement. Lebanon (Lower-Middle Income): Foreign nationals or displaced populations make up roughly 25% of the total population. Costa Rica (Upper-Middle Income): Immigrants comprise over 10% of the population. Malaysia (Upper-Middle Income): Registered international migrants constitute roughly 8% to 10% of the total population. Argentina (Upper-Middle Income): The immigrant stock sits around 4.8%, heavily mirroring South Africa’s baseline percentage. The Reality of South Africa's Immigrant Demographics Independent fact-checking institutions and demographic registries consistently debunk claims that tens of millions of undocumented migrants reside in South Africa. The Conversation Concentrated Geography: The perception of an overwhelming volume exists because migration is highly hyper-local. Over half of South Africa's international migrants relocate to Gauteng, specifically targeting economic cores like Johannesburg and the mining belts, making their presence highly visible in everyday urban commerce. Regional, Not Global: South Africa does not experience globalized waves of migration. More than 85% of all foreign-born residents originate from within the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The vast majority come from just four immediate neighbors: Zimbabwe (45%), Mozambique (18%), Lesotho (10%), and Malawi (8%). Economic Scapegoating: Sociological research indicates that anti-immigrant sentiment spikes not from raw numbers, but from severe domestic economic challenges. With South Africa's structural unemployment rate stubbornly exceeding 32%—and over 37% among the youth—vulnerable local populations frequently blame foreign nationals for competing over scarce resources, low-income jobs, and strained public services. Deep Dive: Immigrants in the Labour Force Empirical tracking of labour dynamics by the African Centre for Migration and Society reveals that immigrants do not primarily "take" formal jobs from locals. Instead, they are disproportionately represented in the highly precarious informal sector (27.1%) or domestic services. They generally work longer hours, receive fewer benefits, and have higher rates of self-employment compared to South African citizens.

I can’t believe people died so we can one day have Pakistanis, Bangladeshis deciding our future for us…?‼️‼️ Like sure Naturalize other Africans who are in the country doing good and providing rare and special skills but Pakistanis and Bangladeshis for what exactly?

What Thuso is not telling you, is that the South African Nationalist government did in fact provide electricity to all its citizens. Black people were NOT South African citizens. They were immigrants. Born in their own homelands... looking for work in SA.
