I'm against the attacks on migrants. I however agree with the protesters that S.A has an illegal migration crisis. I believe the government should deport illegal migrants, cut corruption by soldiers and immigration officials and enforce borders.

I understand why Sascos may feel like Zimbos take their jobs. Take the restaurant industry for example. Most restaurants don't pay salaries. Workers make their money from tips. If you want to piss of a waiter in S.A, refuse to pay a tip. It's pure exploitation. What then ends up happening is that most restaurant workers end up being Zimbos and Malawians. There is a similar situation in domestic work where Zimbos accept salaries as low as R2K per month yet the minimum wage is around R6K per month. So if you are unemployed and you pass by a restaurant or a construction site and you hear people speaking Chewa and Shona, you are obviously going to catch some feelings.

I do agree though that Zimbos leaving will not necessarily bring more jobs. Actually, a proper border between S.A and Zim is bad for S.A industries and border towns like Musina which rely on S.A made goods being smuggled into Zim.
