OPINION | South Africa is not a peaceful country: There are endless protests over service delivery, gender-based violence, crime, the July 2021 unrest and, of course, Operation Dudula’s violence towards foreigners
At least every other year, there are campaigns or protests concerning gender-based violence, unemployment, poor service delivery and, of course, xenophobic attacks.
First it was the unrest caused by Zuma’s imprisonment and now Operation Dudula, whose members have decided to replace the police and the home affairs department to get rid of all undocumented foreigners who they perceive as a threat to employment. that the “police work more closely with government departments at district levels to ensure a plan is laid out to address the socioeconomic problems that make the population vulnerable to criminal conduct”.
The government has a huge responsibility to ensure peace and justice by putting South Africans first. But if South Africans reject jobs and these are accepted by hardworking and vulnerable documented foreigners, they should not be seen as a threat. The drug dealers and human traffickers should definitely go but the poor documented low-wage workers who contribute to the country’s economy should not be victimised in the process.
I also do not believe that some jobs are strictly meant for foreigners.
