“Zimbabwe sorry for that. But it was complications from your side, from promoter’s side not from my side because mina I came.”

Here are some of the reactions:

Lolo Taunyane said, “I love it. They are teaching SAns a thing or two in terms of abiding by the law”.

Alpheus Matsoba said, “South Africa turned itself to be a Mother Teresa of all African continent”.

Al said, “There is a huge market for undocumented migrants in South Africa. Some Businesses prefer cheap labour & control from African migrants at the expense of locals. They can fire them anytime, don’t pay UIF & tax, reduced admin compared to locals. There is general lawlessness in RSA”.

MORE SHAME ON SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT

Tebzangwana said, “I applaud Zim government for that, they are very good at upholding the law and order unlike Here with our Tom and Jerry ANC government”.

Velemseni Vilane said, “Zimbabwe government is doing its job, while the South African government is sleeping. Government can’t stop citizens from leaving the country but can control who’s coming into the country & ensure they meet immigration requirements. Well done to Zimbabwe”.
