@davidelliottphdfellow: @Vuyo_Zungula has historically shared overt misnformation about illegal immigration. It is important that we hold politicians to account for sharing misinformation, particularly when they seek to influence policy on migration and their clams can energise xenophobic sentiment. #southafrica #illegalimmigration #misinformation
the figures are consistent with the 4 to 5% estimates of migrants in the country

so you think undocumented migrants allow themselves to be counted? 🤣 the 2,7 mill are those who've been accounted for and most dontbwantbto be known to be in the country

common sense would tell you that you can't have 3 million undocumented foreigners if you didn't document the illegal foreigners in order to get the count of 3 million.

In my point of view, the actual number does not matter. Even if it were just one undocumented person, it would still bother me. I travel but I do so legally and I never overstay.

Journalists don’t push back anymore 😔 if they’re having discussions on immigration, this info should be available to them beforehand as part of their preparation for the interview. It’s disappointing.

I tried to argue with him on X with this misinformation, unfortunately the xenophobes were there to attract me even though I gave them sources and facts.

What are you saying?
2.4 million or 3 million is the same thing because they are both estimates. Even the statistician general said it himself that when they conducted a census the illegal immigrants tell them they are illegal, they are not afraid to disclose because usually there's no police when they come. You really think we are dumb.

Histori Zar :
Firstly when doing census no immigrants are verified if they are truly immigrants or not so yha Immigrants can lie and say they are South Africans / holding South African citizenship since no documents are required so there are grey areas there we cannot fully rely on their stats

How do u document people who are jumping borders illegally 👀😝? Even now, as we speak, they are rushing into the country. The only data available on this is anecdotal, and that’s the data that black people living with foreigners on the ground see. They are seeing and experiencing the infiltration, and they are seeing how their communities are being encroached upon by foreigners.
So I feel like the convo should move away from putting a number on foreigners, as that is impossible to quantify, and instead lean on what the people on the ground are saying and seeing.

thats sad. i thought vuyo had a great start. i always thought his support for March&March was just a pragmatic move to ride the xenophobic wave into the next elections, but the pandering is now too deep. i guess, when people show you who they are, believe them 🤷🏻♂️

The most shameful thing here is that it takes a white person to show compassion, love other Africans who look nothing like him, defending their dignity and human rights( which doesn’t translate to supporting crime) , calling out xenophobes , while blacks attacking other blacks and mobilizing hatred. You are an amazing human being 👏🏾

They said SA has a high rate of educated people, and I wonder if they are actually talking about white SA.
