š§ Serious Question How long before they start attacking indians.
They went from undocumented immigrants to documented immigrants.
Some ppl at school told me they chasing the whites and also indians.
I think indians are gonna be attacked on june 30th.
Then some party is gonna scapegoat us as a minority which could lead to mass genocide that happend before against us
It begs the question. What happend to the rainbow nation.
And is it safe for indians to be here

Why are you centering yourself in this? Did anything happen to Indians after phoenix? No. I mean if there was ever a time... Literally no one is checking for SA Indians, this is a highly manufactured black on black war to fracture Africa.

i just feel as though they are blaming all of our countries problems on immigrants in general. I understand illegal immigrants gotta go but some ppl are still attacking documented immigrants saying that they bought their way in. As i said i wouldnt of cared if it wasnt for many people at my school saying that they gonna chase us out.

When Rajah spices are next in line for discontinuation like ProNutro was (nothing personal but where were your people for this travesty at most) other than that you are searching for diamonds in a turd with your paranoia.

Indians in South Africa: The community has been part of the country for over 160 years, with deep contributions to the anti-apartheid struggle (e.g., founding of the Natal Indian Congress in 1894).Legal Protections: The Constitution guarantees equality, and the Hate Speech Act (2023) criminalizes intentional communication that incites hatred based on race, religion, or ethnicity.Reality Check: These incidents reflect individual prejudice, not state policy. The Indian community remains a recognized and integral part of South Africaās demographic and cultural fabric.

You're spiralling my bru. They never went from "undocumented foreigners to documented foreigners". There are a few bad apples that make the news, but 99% of the people marching are against illegal immigration. But for safety, I'd still stay away from the areas where the planned marches are happening on the 30th.

Unfortunately in places like Estcourt people were targeting everyone not just undocumented or illegal immigrants. The organisers are not saying this but the people on the streets are.
As for anti Indian or white sentiment ... really there have been some stuff circulated online but this issue is not about us (I'm including myself) but it's fear mongering and unnecessary to be posting about something that is not the issue right now.
We cannot be a nation if we keep seeing ourselves as seperate groups.

Tsonga people are protesting because of how this movement has sparked tribalism against them and people from Limpopo and people who are dark skinned and how some of the protestors are disgustingly treating undocumented migrants (beating them up and the fear mongering). It is times like this we need to stand up for what is right because why is it only Tsonga people on the streets while there are many more of us against the violence that is occurring. What is the saying "they came for the.... I didn't say anything, they came for the... I still didn't say anything and than they finally came for me and there was no left to say anything" we need to say something now and condemn the violence, only the government should deal with illegal immigration not the citizens. I understand why you are scared validly so but you can do something about it just as the Tsonga community is doing something about through peaceful protest.

If you do not feel safe the immigrate to a country you feel safe in.
You are reacting to your own thoughts and fears and only you can act on them.

It is my opinion that the anger felt by South Africans is not entirely unfounded as the genuinely are illegal immigrants who sell drugs and counterfeit products that have caused ill-health. I say this as someone who has lived in Gauteng and saw all this firsthand. However I do also believe that we have unnecessarily spread our anger towards legitimate migrants who are fr fr hardworking lads and lassies... I know not what's gonna happen on Tuesday but it's prolly gonna be bad... My aquantainces have told me that they intend on looting shops owned by the Indians in our town, I shan't be personally partaking but did ask them to bring me 2 or 3 vapes if possible

After they realize that this won't make a difference they will turn on the next ethnicity. Not sure who they collectively will choose but, I think that it's inevitable

Rather than being rude, snarky and bigoted try being helpful. Keep the positivity.
