TEBOGO MOKWELE: DON'T BLAME MIGRANTS FOR CAPITALISM

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party (@effsouthafrica) has long opposed the popular narrative that undocumented migrants have caused South Africa's economic and social woes.  

In this clip, EFF member in Parliament, Tebogo Josephine Mokwele (@ntlhapa on X), cited EFF statistics that show just 6.2 per cent of workers in industries as vital as hospitality and agriculture are undocumented foreign nationals. Yet, despite comprising this tiny percentage, they are habitually misrepresented in public discourse as ‘stealing’ jobs from South African citizens.

Mokwele’s comments reinforce our long-held belief that, as Africans, we will never win liberation as long as ‘native’ African workers in any country blame ‘foreign’ African workers for their problems. We are all Africans.
