Zuma tells Africa to take care of their citizens ‘so that they do not flee to South Africa’
South Africa President Jacob Zuma Monday lashed out at Africa governments who “criticise the South African government but their citizens are in our country”, even he took a firm stance against stance on the wave of xenophobic violence that has gripped the country.
The Malawi government has hired buses to repatriate its nationals from South Africa.
Addressing the public on Freedom Day at the Union Buildings South Lawn, Zuma chastised governments who have criticised the South African government for the violence that has claimed seven lives.
“As much as we can have a problem alleged to be xenophobic, our brother countries contributed to this,” he said.
“Why are the citizens not in their countries?”
He then asked African governments to take care of their citizens so that they do not flee to South Africa.
Zuma went on a counter-offensive, saying his government would strengthen measures to tackle illegal immigration.
“Some of them (immigrants) had very serious allegations against their own countries to explain why they are in South Africa,” Zuma said.
“In fact, some of them warned us that there is almost certainly another wave of refugees coming given the developments in their own countries.
“We have to address the underlying causes of the violence and tensions, which is the legacy of poverty, unemployment and inequality in our country and our continent and the competition for limited resources,” Zuma said.
Many South Africans have blamed the attacks on poverty and a severe jobs shortage in Africa’s second biggest economy. Undocumented immigrants are often accused of accepting work for less pay.

Mr Zuma tsopano. nanga anenenso kuti chaniiiii.
mixie
Just look at his head,,a dunderhead,so useless
Untimely self defending speech,RSA is in Africa,I don’t think it can play think it can play American,impossible.
zuma wil be charged as muhammad mous hav.
While I agree with Zuma, I would say he has uttered these words at the wrong time because everyone views him as being behind the attacks on foreigners especially with his son and King Zwethilini having given a lethal dose earlir to fellow Africans. Had he said this earlier before the attacks, we would have understood but his silence and then breaking the silence with such an offensive speech towards fellow Africans is too bad for Zuma who is behaving like a chameleon and changing colours while working behind the scenes against other Africans. Didn’t this same Zuma flee to other African countries to seek refuge at the peak of apartheid? What if those countries had chased him when he needed assistance? I remember one singer sang to say, ” Africa Unite” so what is this Mr. Zuma? As Africans we belong to one family and no need to label others as foreigners. This world is round and it will roll back to you when you will need the help of other Africans when the going gets tough. I hail Late Tata Nelson Mandela Madiba (May his soul Rest in Peace)and wish he was still alive today. At least he would have pumped sense in the head of this junk of a president as he was a sensible man. Wherever he is resting, he is not happy with what is happening in the country he had ruled with love and dedication. I pity you Mr. Zuma and you will end badly.
am here till Zuma and his pple will kill me
Zuma’s head is like a bicycle seat
South Africans are not lazy. They are hard working only that they dont want to work at Yusuf Shop for extended hours without compensation. This is the difference with Nyasa who would do anything , with their yes bwana mentality. Imagine a driver is told to go ku chigayo, kukatenga ana ku school during lunch hour, pick the bwana from the airport at 8pm and no extra compensation. This is slavery. It is not hard work. But even if South Africans are lazy, so what? They are lazy in their own country so whats the big beef?
Plz dont let us(youth)fight each other because wat Zuma said,we should know this is a senseless leader(ZUMA)we african youth need to think and use our brain,thats why in their era(ZUMA and zwethini d zulu king)when they were youth they ddnt do it right and they were enslaved by d whites.plz youth lets use our brain,zuma has little years to live anything anytin they do now we wl be the one to pay for it..LETs THINK..am an african and Notin can change that
It is true south africans are also in other african countries, but here we are talking about the quality of the immigrant. I have yet to find a south african picking tea leaves at Namingomba Tea Estate or working as a gardener in Namiwawa, let alone as a guard at Yusuf Shop in Limbe. South Africans have no issue with qualified immigrants who add value to their economy.
Zuma is spot on.
Kaya zanu izo
Zuma is very right. Can somebody tell me how many jobs have been created in Malawi since 1994? Malawi is a doomed country where politically motivated court cases are so rampant than politically motivated job creation. The only jobs created are those for Advisors to the President and these jobs are given to relatives or cronies while the rest of the population have no jobs of any type.
Like him or hate him, Zuma is very right.
The reliable solution is for the leaders in political positions to be selfless and sacrificially toil to create jobs for the citizens in their own nations. MW has colossal resources to transform itself within a relatively short period of time. The lacking element is political will and patriotism on the common citizen’s part. Let’s all sweat to transform our nations. Let’s forsake misguided adages like “mbuzi imadya pamene aimangilira” or “work as I earn.” Let’s look at the big picture: Malawi! Each one of us must ask onself at sundown, “what have I done today to help my motherland to move foreward.” Even a positive speech is welcome contribution. Osati koma “Ife nde ayi…” speeches. Then and only then shall the trek trend be significantly mitigated!!!
Jacob Zuma might be a president but he has no sense of humor, lives of Africans have been waisted by his citizens but he is not sorry for one bit, All I can say is that ‘Zuma politics won’t help you and remember that one day you’ll have to step down and face the law because Xenophobic attacks are under your influence’.
Zuma be serious,are you not one of those who were in exile? Why did you ran away from your country? Is it not same fellow African who helped much South Africa to where it is now? You should have find better measures rather than killing and torturing your fellow brothers. Remember you were in Zambia during apathied time, now, today you turned down against same people who never mind your face of being South African citizen. Shame on you Mr President.
time will come you south africans where you will come to our coutries and we will teach you a lesson. look at zimbabwe now it used to be a big economy but look at them now.i thought it is a good lesson to you.you now busy tarnishing your contries image scaring investors away.if you look at america is developed by foreiners.
This guy’s question should be answered by the “sleepy African” leaders who are in power for selfish reasons.We all hate discrimination of whatsoever kind.But he is right.Many African leaders are just sleeping on their rusty brains kumangochucha dovu.What do you expect from the continent where it’s leaders are fighting to change the constitution to give themselves a longer mandate while the economy still stagnates?AKUWECHETA ISYENE ACHISYILUWA….
Zima must be dreaming, doesn’t he know that his own people are also in other African countries including Malawi. He needs to take responsibility of his duties . He should reverse the trend in his country were black Africans live in abject poverty and using bucket toilets , while the whites are high up beyond them , what a shame his own black Africans live in squalor rotting compounds no toilets , those slams those tin houses ,. If these people were civilised enough or gone to school they couldn’t live in such deplorable conditions

Don’t be stupid people. You are saying we should create our own jobs. Do you think people would stop going to RSA. Are all south Africans in their own country? If not then what are they doing outside their country. Isn’t it looking for the greener pastures? Be rational PEOPLE
Comment 150 your arguments are very interesting. If you think having precious mineral is the answer to vibrant economy then you are missing the point. National wealth is about being good upstairs I mean the the brain. Mauritius for example, is an island nation. The only resource they have is sugarcane plantation , a bit of textile, and tourism. But if you assess their human development index, they are far much better than us. If you cross the resources I have mention for Mauritius, Malawi has them all. But what is that we do as a nation to make them robust? I guess you have answers. Take a look at most European countries whose economies are stronger than hours they don’t have minerals. My friend what matters is focus which you and me are massively deficient. And all this needs a high level of leadership acumen which we are yet to see as a country. Remember you can have all resources but if you don’t know how to use them nothing tangible can happen.
South Africa is a prosperous country because of the wealth created by the indigenous white population. Many other African countries would be just as prosperous if they hadn’t kicked out the white Europeans after they gained independence. This may be very unpalatable to many Africans, but it is true and they know it. So many African countries have gone down hill since independence.
Let’s learn to accept the truth Zuma is right though xenophobic action is not condoned, we r in global world that’s true but I think we shud always flee to other countries when our nations r in danger ie war, not the way pipo flock to Jon without needed papers. Tikumaonjezadi think ma Ethiopia, ma burundi akumagwidwa aja atati adzaze m’malawi muno zingakome.
A big lesson to african leaders
Enanu mungoti wanena zoona, zoona zake ziti???? M’malawi muno muli chani choti president mkuchita kuti miyoyo yathu isithe? Tilibe migodi ayi, nkhani ndi ulimi komanso malo akutha ndi kubelekana.

Bcoz amalawi samagwira mu office ayi koma ntchito zomwe amazikana eni akewo!!!! Zimbabwe inasawuka ndi mawu ake atsankho ngati omwewo , ichi nchiyambi, ukafuna kufa umayamba ku gotha mkutu.
Please agree with me that Mr Jacob Zuma is stupid. Has no sense of international relations. Why does he have diplomats and embassies in other countries. Can he explain why South Africans are found in other countries.
Let him be the first to withdraw his people from MALAWI, then I will agree with him.
If That Is Case Then South African Must Pack And We Dont Need Them Here Let Juma Take His People Her As What Our Government Is Doing We Should Not Just Accepting Everything Mapeto Ake Tidzalandidwa Dziko Paja Alendo Ayamba Kukhala Ma Mp Ndichiyambi Chabe Chimenechi.

Kkkkk
THIS IS FOOLISH, HOW CAN THE WHOLE PRESIDENT SINK SO LOW TO CRITISING SOME HIS FELLOW STATES MEN ON THE PODIUM JUST BECAUSE OF THIS BARBARIC ACT? MR PRESIDENT DONT YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE LEAVING IN A GLOBE VILLAGE WHERE BY SUCH MIGRATION PROBLEMS CAN NOT BE SOLVED BY BUTCHERING FOREIGNERS.EVEN IN AMERICA ,ITALY U WILL STILL FIND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BUT THE SOLUTION IS NOT WHAT YOUR IDIOTS ARE DOING.LEARN FROM THEM PLEASE…..!!!!!
Foreigners in South Africa stole Zuma’s job. Him and those rioting are the same. His education is pathetic for a president. Ask educated South Africans if they feel foreigners stole their jobs.
Hate or like him he has said the truth. Truth pains why cant we create jobs here, why cant we create a conducive environment here? Why hating south africans for their country? Yes the attacks will never be condoned Malawi and other countries lets put our house in order
Jacob Zuma ia just honest and straight to the point. Mapulezident mupange mapulani a dziko lanu period. Do not just cashgate and go stay kwa america
The guy is just a bafoon.What happened when the ANC was based in Zambia,Tanzania and mocambique and the respective countries were being bombed by the whites everyday.For all the years they kept you, is this a proper way to pay them back.Umbuli ndiovuta.The world is a global village and more or so Africa where we should be free to move about freely.You have just shown the barbaric side of South Africa and next time the whites are on you, dont run to our countries.
When will Africa be Unite?Mass killings everywhere…
nKHOPE YA ZUMA NGATI YA DR HESTINGS KAMUZU BANDA. Mukuyiwona
Zuma is right! If you see he talked bad, why can’t you just creat job opportunities for your citizens instead of letting them go to Rsa?
Zuma is right! African countries including Malawi must take care of their own citizens.
We also have got South Africans in Malawi, why not them found in their country. They are all over Ku UK ali konko, ku USA ali konko even in the poorest country like Democratic Republic of Congo ndiye Zumayu akufuna kuoneka ngati sha sha bwanji. Stop this accusation immediately because wolemera amatha kusowa singano if you dont know.
Tell them Zuma!
We have a lot of people who do not work hard in class akuti adzapita ku Joni kumene sukulu ilibe ntchito.
I think Zuma should not have said that kind of speech at this time when his country men are mourning for those brutally murdered in the eyes of Zuma himself. Now Africa should clearly notice in the manner Zuma has put up his speech meaning that the early rumour that it is Zuma, his son and King Xwelithin who organised such killings through Xnophobic attacks. Zuma forgets that during the struggle with the whites many African countries assisted them to come to the level or freedom where they are proud of. I too, have lived in South Africa before I moved to Holland another peaceful country like Malawi. Many South Africans are too lazy and if South Africa is tremendously grown up in its economy its because of foreigners for instance some Malawians are too rich in South Africa and have big businesses that employ very lazy,poor and very uneducated South Africans. Again many south Africans in other parts of the world such as Britain, America, Germany, France and the list is endless and why are these people found in those countries if Zuma has enough experts and jobs in his country to cab them within South Africa.What can happen if those said above start chasing the foreigners. Zuma must talk to the world like a Leader and not like just an ordinary citizen of South Africa and Africa must not listen to him talking such SHIT in their eyes. Russia also put a blame on what his country did perhaps he talks all these rubbish because of PUTIN who cannot assist him such shit moves.You cannot kill your fellow human beings like chicken and see the videos of SITHOLE OF MOZAMBIQUE, KANDULU OF MALAWI and those from ZIMBABWE AND NIGERIA and forgetting SUDAN because of your good economy???SILLY ZUMA and I now agree that both Xwelitin and yourself did not go to school different from H.E.LATE DR. NELSON MANDELA(may his soul rest in peace), BABA THABO MBEKI with very good Education obtained in exile while ZUMA was busy there UDYETSA NG’OMBE. Don’t you understand yourself that your economy you are proud of can fall dwindling if MOZAMBIQUE start attacking your 1000 trucks flocking to MALAWI.So too Nigeria has just been respective with you otherwise many would have died in South Africa if Nigeria wanted. For your information perhaps you didn’t know one person brutally killed in South Africa is a very close person of BOKO HARAM LEADERSHIP and if they want you to pay back you can die in MILLIONS.
What Zuma is saying is true. Only short sighted people can blame him. SouthAfrica is first for the South Africans. This has to be respected. We should learn to be serious and love our own countries. Let us work hard to develop our countries and enjoy staying in our own countries. Let us love what God gave us. Let us choose systems of government that would make us enjoy living in our own countries.
despite these white people to raise your economy u could not speak like that mr zuma even you zuma your education iz not enough to raise the economy thank mr mandela for not throwing stones to the white mmesa the richest people in your country are the white people lets unite dont talk no sence like that ana anjokainu
Ok Mr president
All African countries should create jobs for its citizen to avoid illegal immigrants. To avoid blaming each other government should formulate policies to deal the problem of unemployment.
Zuma once hd to flee his country for reasons he well knows. If it was not for baba Madimba where would south africans be @ this time? And more over most ZULUS are under educationists or graduates. If it was not for one voice for africa, boers could have killed prominent politicians in south africa. Let him shut up his dirty mouth.
The problem lies with the rest of Africa and not with SA. Bravo President Zuma for speaking the truth! Moving into other countries illegally is not what being one as Africans entails and it is not what Pan Africanism is about. One can not just go to another country and claim equal rights as citizens of that country despite being an illegal immigrant. Africans need to think better than this!
IT CAN NOT BE WORSE THAN THIS. ZOONA A ZUMA MWAIWALA KUTI INU NDI MAKOLO ANU SIMUDATHAWE APARTHIED NDI KUKABISHALA KU ZAMBIA, TANAZNIA NDI MAIKO ENA NDIPO ADAONONGA CHUMA CHAO KUTI MUPEZE UFULU WOLANKHULA KOMANSO KUTI MUPHUNZILE.

Shame on JOYCE BANDA for leading Malawians trekking to South Africa instead of creating jobs back home. Ndiye Mai Joyce Banda, President Zuma akuti chokani muzipita kwanu. What kind of a leader are you?
We shall see you board one of the buses hired by the Malawi Govt, shame!!!!

There is sence in Zuma’s speach. Most of malawians who left for employment in RSA have poor educational background. They think Rsa is a solution to their future. I have a relative who refused to go to school when i offered to pay his fees. The best he could do was to ask me for Passport money to get employment in RSA. and this is a young man of 18yrs only. Lets Create our own Jobs here by making our economy conducive for investors, we will not have these problems.
Mwayi opeza ntchito in our country ndiovuta kwambiri bwana….every year our various universities and colleges produce thousands of young men and women who are willing to work in this country but only few of them are being offered that chance….! Glass is green always on the other side of the river remember that!!
Very Pathetic indeed. We black people, let us learn to live together as one people.
Zuma is very right only that poor Malawians are not willing to hear to the truth. Facts are stubborn things. Think about what you can do in your own country instead of completing Standard Eight and trekking to other people’s countries. Let’s make sure that ours is not a country that exports problems to other people’s countries. Woo foreign investors so you can create jobs. The South Africans that work in Malawi are not Standard Eight leavers as is the case with Malawians that trek to South Africa. This is painful truth and someone must do something about it.
zuma is uneducated president he doesnt know that no country can develop or survive on its own not even the USA nde what is south africa? rubbish zuma and ur people
(Zuku,zOOM,zuma)what ever you call your self,you are an idiot!!!we are still crying for our people whom you killed.now you are talking this nonsense?if l were boko haram, i could do something which even the deval has never done it before into your country(SA).FOOL!!!!!!!!
Zuma would have been the last person to say this, to take a look into the past the record is clear and straight that South Africa was developed by whites the booers and foreigners africans, why today denying their grand daughters and sons a chance. Why is it only the Zulus of all the tribes are involved in killing of our kins
Zuma is collection of flesh and bones with tomato juice flowing in his vains.Are there No South africans working in other countries? IDIOT!!!!!
Shaa, ndiyetu watinyoza Chiboliyu.
Food for thought indeed how can a country be independent from colonial masters for over fifty years and everyone else is poor except for politicians only. What a mistry
Dont you worry Malawians are you telling me that Malawi has no illegal immigrants every months Malawi is receiving illegal immigrants from Ethiopia, lets do something to express our anger. Asatiyetse ife Zitsiru
Zuma ndi bulutu, odzikonda komanso not worthy to be called a President. Shame on Zuma, shame on South Africans. Remember, mutu umodzi suseza denga.
kamba amanya omutola ,those pple were kept here when things were nto ok in their country now ayamba kuona patali.Mugabi usalole makape wa kulowanso kwanuko zikathina ana njoka .Zuma come and take ur bullsheet shops we don’t want them here .we will tell ma buno ayambenso kukuthirani machaka anthu opanda pabwino inu.Zuma HIV INAMULOWERERA HE NEEDS SECOND LINE TREATMENT
This Zuma man is the dullest president ever, really how can a whole president utter such a statement? Does he think the other countries in Africa don’t have South Africans working or living in them? Where did the ANC pluck this dullard? No wonder that country is fast deteriorating in all spheres of life. OMG, and to imagine that the whole world was thinking its the Zulu King who didn’t understand that we now live as one global village, now even this president has just exposed his own misplaced conceptions.
Much as we don`t subscribe and support the ill-treatment of foreigners based in many cities in RSA through the barbaric and satanic Xenophobia, Zuma in 100% right when advising his fellow African Presidents to develop deliberate policies to create more rewarding jobs for their nationals. Our African countries have brilliant young people and yet governments are not utilizing them. They are dumped and in turn have no choice, but to trek across the borders looking for what they think are “greener pastures”. Unfortunately, they are not yet greener. Zuma can apologize, yes, but other african leaders must first do soul seraching in what he has raised. The message is loud and clear, so zzimvere mu mtolo.
President Jacob Zuma is confused on these two issues. Repatriation of illegal immigrants is legal as SA has been doing all these years. Killing illegal and legal immigrants is not legal anywhere in the world. President Zuma has no remorse for lost lives. If he said what he says after repatriation, we no problem. Can Zuma deny that this violence is his instigation? Malema is right that Zuma is the source of this carnage. The world condems xenophobia violence, Zuma condons it. Shame!!! Malikana incident has roots in Zuma. His speech persuades me to believe so.
Koma Jacob Zuma Aaaaaaaaaa!Shame !
This is very sad especially that it is coming from the President himself, at this time, when people are killed like dogs. This is directly telling the South Africans to sweep all the immigrants in South African. WHen Joseph went to Egypt he was accepted and he worked so hard that there was food in Egypt becasue of Joseph. Immigrants in SA have asssited SA to be where it is today. President Juma could have said sorry to the affected families and promise to stop the current Xenophobia for the sake of unity and love in Africa. God help us to be united. Brothers and sisters who are still hiding in SA thinking that this problem will end soon, you better think otherwise.

Government has sponsored transport for you to come home and all people are happy for it. Soon people will not support that taking into consideration of economic hardships to people without Christ and will say they will use their transports for its the choice.
All the best, fellow Malawians and Africa as whole.
This president is ignorant isnt he ? Whats wrong with him? He starts to defend the xenophobic attacks saying the foreigners are partially to blame for the attacks since South Africa is not their country? Really, if he wanted to tackle illegal immigration, this is not the right timing, it just shows how he personally supports the xenophobia attacks, he supports the idea that foreigners are not welcome in his country and the xenophobic attacks are somewhat justifiable. Its a shame.
Malawi government should respond to Zuma’s question. Why is our government not taking care of us?
CALL ZUMA WHAT YOU WANT BUT HE HAS A POINT? WHY ARE PEOPLE FLOCKING TO SOUTH AFRICA, EUROPE AND OTHERS PLACES? IF OUR COUNTRY WAS BETTER WE COULD HAVE HAD OUR BROTHERS HERE.

The truth pains. Sakunama aliyense adzigwila ndi kutukula dziko lake basi.
south africa has proven that it is not fit to be in SADC group,there fore we (the business community) must stop importing from SA and start importing from TZ, ZAMBIA,MOZAMBIQUE and infact build our own factories
Zuma is a joke! Just how could a shallow mind like him be elected? We send casual labourers and a few academics to SA who collectively earn an insignificant sum. SA has major chain stores in poor countries, and all sorts of export deals from cheap commodities to lucrative economic and defence supply contracts. SA Airways makes a substantial part of its money on the African continent taking advantage of exorbinat prices of air travel in Africa. Why does Mr Zuma think he only id doing service to the continent? Doesn’t he see that his economy is too inetrconnected with the whole of the continent. A haughty leader!
The only bad that happened was the butchering of people by the cruel illiterate uncivilized black South Africans . Having that said, all what Zuma is saying the painful truth. When you put undeserved people on leadership positions based on non meritorious criteria the country ends up retrogressive. When a country lacks visionary leadership there is no favorable socioeconomic environment. Such a phenomenon pushes people out for greener pastures else. And that’s the price you pay when you don’t put your house in order. Zuma is 100% right. Mwina nkutengapo phunziro tikamasankha atsogoleri. Malawi has become a country that glorifies mediocrity and that cannot go unpunished. He once also talked about Malawi having poor roads. We all, in a chorus, rose against it as if we have good roads. Ngati kuti amatinamizira. A country of unambitious baboons!
Akulu adati:
“Kamwini kalibe nkhoko mnkhali”
“Kwaeni kulibe nkuwo”
“Kwanu mkwanu mthengo mdalaka njoka”
This was a coordinated move by Zuma govt
Zuma has spoken clear whether tikwiye it is up to us to think what next. Mind you Malawi never helped black RSA during whites. You are failing to feed your kids and you what your aneba to feed for you what a shame Ukankhala osauka ndiwe osauka basi very soon we will be importing maize from RSA
He should also take care of his citizens so that they should remain in South Africa not in our countries
viva my future President Your Excellency J Malema your are the man….this polygamist is just another mother fucker..those are not the words coming from the leader who for a long ago stetegies Africa Unity as one global Village.Your a Monster….
an excellent idiot of a President. Shameless polygamist zulu zombie!. No wonder those whites caged and tortured you. Why did South Africa not take care of Zuma and his zulu scoundrels during apartheid? Was South Africa non existent when he ran away to Mocambique? Julius Malema is a better leader than This Zulu idiot who is only good at bedding women!!

No wonder the time when he slept with an HIV prostitite when he was asked how safe he was from contracting a virus?He answered that he had shower and tablet of soap and he washed it down the drain.And that was it.He has a very huge appetite for women.He thinks with his dick.Useless leader.It will take ages to have the calibre of Mandela in South Africa.
Wakumasulani amalawi kuti what type of leaders do you have in your countries.We have been having thieves since Muluzis time till now but we have kept substandard leaders with no vision till today leading us.Alot of billions have been stolen by our leaders together with their cohorts but we have never taken them to task and yet we rush to Joberg to wash pots and doing some othet substandard jobs.Our stupid leaders have not done anything apart from stealing from public coffers instead of uplifting their people’s lives.Kagame is working so hard to change Rwanda and next time you will be trekking to Rwanda because Kagame has changed things in his country while you are keeping thieves in your country as if it is their birthright to rip you of your taxes despite have many benefits.Look how cashgate has messed Malawi and yet nothing is happening.We have vultures of lawyers with no morals defending these thieves.Malawi has a big assignment from Zuma answers despite being a dull leader.
Just come back my fellow malawians there is plenty of fertile soil here in mw
The wealth in South Africa was created by the whites not the dull polygamist like Jacob Zuma who is also the number one thief like these substandard opportunists we have in Malawi and other african places.I have never heard that it is justified that that somebody should be hacked just because he is foreigner and he happens to be black from sadc region?What the is job of the immigration department?Is it the work of the illiterate Zulu going about hacking people?I never knew Jacob Zuma was dull like this to give such a stupid answer like this.No wonder whites took advantage of making fellow blacks killing fellow during blacks during apartheid.South Africa will take ages to have an intelligent leader like Nelson Mandela than this clean shaven dullard Zuma.This shows that he knew what was happening behind all this time.
Zuma is right. He once talked of poor roads he was right again BUT he could first of all apologise on behalf of his nation’s barbaric method of telling Africa. Secondly he could raise his concern at AU n SADC to find a better way where am sure it could look diode to their direction. As others have said no country has no foreigners, even in the poorest nation on Earth Malawi there are South Africans what are they doing here? Why not going back to SA where they are rich, equal opportunities to quote Zuma? Zuma too tells Africa that he himself sanctioned xenophobia which is very unfortunate. All other Govts must start doing something to address this issue now.
It was the king,zuma’s son now ;jacob.zulu people belive in heaven we will speak zulu and that only zulus are humans
the are animals(silwane).zuma is 100% xeno and wrong timed remarks we could have done better than this statement.silence is golden.this is a dilema beause am this if peter meet zuma what will peter say after this statement.cashgate 92 billion,30 biLlion +- muluzi case, malawians on malawians people kuphedwa daily ziwalo kuchotsa like the nchinji saga,akuba azikwanje daily.malawi can do better without donor aid or south africa.we need a leader.
Illegal immigration in South Africa has been a problem for quite sometime and it is growing. No country can be happy with such an alarming rate of this influx. Zuma and his government have been at pains with this problem. Just try to follow him in review, you will note that he addressed South Africans to wake up as foreigners came to South Africa, made money and improved their homes whilst they the South Africans were watching.Iam sure he has had some discussions with his king and his family about this hence his the way the king had acted.
He is correct to say African Leaders ruined their governments because of bad governance and brutal senseless wars.
Look at Zimbabwean despot, Somali failed state, Nigeria’s northern states and Bokoharam and it’s bad record of corruption etc. There is no war in Ethiopia or Mozambique or Angola yet there are too many so called refugees in SA from these countries.
Enough is enough for RSA resources to be competed by foriegners.
Now watch out: they will introduce visa to be applied for before departures from your countries to RSA, soldiers as he said will permanently stay guarding along the borders as was the case with apartheid government, they will hunt for illegal immigrants and bundle them to Lindela and deport them there after. People will find it difficult to come to South Africa from 2016.

Every politician in Malawi z called a TRASH, simply bcoz they r geared towards Money and just to be known by the international community. If we want not to be called vultures again by surrounding furious neighbors, then lest change our mindset when we r aspiring a political post, otherwise this shame will be like unhealing wound on us, what characters do we look at when we vote anyway? Stupid Malawians, we never correct our past mistakes, good at speech but failures of higher order skills, za yes bwana zizatha koma? U come like messiahs with a begger’s face 4 our votes, that’s why I choose never to vote to avoid these regrets. Funny, funny, very funny indeed.

A leader should not make such a careless argument. Millions of people all over the world migrate from one place to another for various reasons. The solution should be how to deal with migrants without violence and bloodshed. Xenophobic acts with violence and bloodshed should simply be condemned and punished without appearing to jusity them.
This is nat true,south african they dont work.ulesi basi.enanu ngati mudapita kuxul muli pa vepi kumalawi kuno muzingoyamika mulungu.enawo or yotsuka mbale mayazi dats y amalowa thebayo
This is nat true,south african they dont work.ulesi basi.
The issue here is about illegal immigrants.
How many illegal South Africans are in the rest of Africa, and how many illegal Africans are in South Africa? This is the question.
Let us look at this issue logically and disregard emotions. We will easily find solutions to this problem.
Bravo President Zuma. Tell ur fellow African leaders to take care of their citizens. What they knw z to enrich themselves instead of sharing the cake. Because of poor leadership their citizens r headind to RSA to seek employment, nw they r fed up, they r hitting back. Productive youngmen r heading to RSA, wat a shame to our nation. Hope with the initiative of community colleges, most young men wil be trained in various fields n help in taking part of developing our country than flocking to RSA
Botha vindicated. Blacks are to be led not to lead. Tell me, what type of leadership is this?
That country was developed by the apatheid whites not the ANC leadership as Zuma is boastifully claiming. Now he has the audacity to redicule those who sympathised with them(blacks) during their fight for freedom.
Reading between lines tells us that Zuma’s condemnation of xenop was plastic, not real. Behind he was fanning xenop and laughing @ fellow blacks being hacked in broad daylight. My heart bleeds.
hear hear jacob! mawu amenewo. munthu sungapite kwa neba kukadya masamba kwanu kuli tswayitswayi. malawi, zimbabwe, nigeria, zambia, mozambique ndi ma failed state basi. chimangodabwitsa ndi choti ife amalawi sitinapangeko nkhondo koma ndife okanikabe
Zuma is really a STD 8 drop out. He doesn’t give convincing arguments to justify xenophobia. Whatever the cause may be, it remains that xenophobia is barbaric
Now i knew that zuma is behind all dis
The timing for this truth is wrong. He should also address the claim made by his people that foreigners are taking up the jobs of the locals. If it is true, why? There is no country in this world without foreigners. What is needed is good policies which favours the citizens of the country on the other hand good policies to accommodate foreigners.
Zamkutu
Revenging? Do we pay evil for an evil? Lets shame the devil and its subital vices. God is on our side. Love should surpass every thought that is ungodly.
Zuma z right. the blame shud politicians. they amass worth for themselves not malawians
south africa is a sovereign state. it has a point. however, killing is not a solution. send them back here adzilima mpendadzuwa kuno
Do you know that Zuma is just as corrupt as his ‘brother’ leaders? He has spent about US$22 million on his personal homestead at Nkandla in KZN. He will probably be jailed for this once he leaves office.
Immigration is cyclical – I remember in the 1980s we used to call Chilobwe “Silobwe” because of the many South African exiles who used to live there; they couldn’t pronounce the name properly. The Wealth of South Africa has not just been created by Zulus like Zuma and Zwelithini, but by the people in Southern Africa and beyond.
When Zuma was living with his family in Lusaka during the Apartheid years did the Zambians ask him why he was not in his own country? Zuma is a clown and his arguments should not be accepted without looking at the historical context…
As much as violence cannot be justified as zuma is trying to but the point he is suing is that he is at the end of the problem but the begin is at individual countries so if leaders mess up their economy, ill treat the citizens, steal money from government account, practice politics of nepotism its the reason why they are flooding to.south Africa so deal with ur problems first before blaming Zuma.In other words other leaders are shitting on their citizens and blaming zuma how he is wiping their asss so Zuma is stop shitting.
Even in the days during the stay of Israelits in Egypt peace was not there untill they returned to Canan.Malawi shuld create peace for the youth by embracing youth development and not lip service like what Chaponda is saying.Its not overnight activity its a vision Malawi should achieve thrufh the five C’s of Competence,Communication,Contributlon,Connectivity and Confidence in the youth.
What does the word Africa means???? People are suppose to walk freely in Africa, its what I thought. Isolation is not good.
Even in the days during the stay of Israelits in Egypt peace was not there untill they returned to Canan.Malawi shuld create peace for the youth by embracing youth development and more lip service like what Chaponda is saying.Its not overnight activity its a vision Malawi should achieve thrufh the five C’s of Competence,Communication,Contributlon,Connectivity and Confidence in the youth.
Considering his remarks it looks this man perpetrated the odeal. Mr President, even if it was your strategy of getting rid of foreigners ur people were not to hack pples heads. You deserve a summon by ICC for such evils.
But we Malawians can learn from the catastrophy. Imagine someone who has stayed in South Africa for more than 5 years and comes home with nothing except for an RSA T-Shirt. No house at home and was not even helping his relatives back home.
Invested everything in HIS HOME -JUBERG. Sad !
It reminds me of this earth .All of us are indeed IMMIGRANTS-even those rendering Xeno. Investing literally everything here. What will happen if we get our own dose of Xeno ? Returning home with only a T-shirt written RSA ?
Invest in heaven. Invite Jesus Christ now into your heart
what are the south Africans doing in Malawi? ku illovo? ku Game? Shoprite? akufuna chani? ma company aku south Africa akufuna chani mayiko ena? whay can they not remain in their country?
Thank you Zuma for telling our stupid leaders the simple truth: They should and must create labour intensive project to employ their youth, Ethiopia is doing that building dams, Sugar factories, large scale farms employing thousand of youths while building their country. All our leaders and cohorts do is to steal and build one roomed houses. Fools!!!!!
zuma is stupid
Wow,not that I blame him coz he has a point. but the timing was wrong. No wonder S A citizens don’t have respect for the big man.He thinks with his 4-5!
thre is sense in that nonsense
Spoken at a wrong time I guess
President, is a face of the country,some part of the speech belittle this august position,who ever assist in the president write his speech needs a boot.
The truth pains, Malawi politicians are busy filling their pockets, chartering private jets to go for dinner in USA with no time to create jobs ay home, no time to address iliteracy levels which drives people to go and do labour work in South Africa. Dont throw stones at Zuma, he is President of South Africa not Malawi. mukwenyeni Peter Mutharika, how many jobs has he created since he came to power, only 20 advisers at State House.
we dont need revenge because that will be awaste of time.South Africa is for the South Africans.we need to concetrate on measures that will keep the malawi child within the country,let zuma talk,the deaths have happened but as you may remember this was arepeat of history and at all cost it should be prevented for another eruption.It is high time that as acountry we are careles and leave the responsibility to others.
Adzatifuna,
He is 100% behind zeno.
This statement says by ZUMA wil foreva remain in our brain.mayb is the blood of the innocent foregn nationals thats killing us nw in SA,follow d news theres crash frm car to bus to train this few days now,it has clamed mor than 100 lifes of his citizens.every one has right to choose where you live.
In God grace there is no foreigner and let us all comes God’s people then we will live in harmony, God loves us all no matter where we dwell, He created one world of no boarders but due to our greedy we forms division
It’s a reality check and Malawians need to own up to it. Why do we rely on South Africa on just about everything from imports, to hospitals, to businesses, and a whole list of endless stuff? Why do we keep electing thieves who do nothing for the country except for their own pockets? South Africans do NOT owe Malawians a living. The mentality of depending on others is now coming around to bite us; when are we going to learn?
Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia.You are delaying with Zambezi water way.Bingu Made it cleare that it will be an international city.Now SEE what is hapening.It woul have been easy to leave the South Africans alone.
Indeed Taking Ones Life Is Not A Solution To Unemployement. There Are More Better Ways Of Dealing With Such Prblms But Certainly Not Xeno
If we still believed our govts efforts to categorically denounce their counterpart’s act was something to yield a positive result but Zuma is now here arrogantly responding. This then puts the lives of our colleagues in that country more dangerous than ever before coz he is now provoking his citizenry to act barbarically even more in what he claims reclaiming their country’s legacy…reduce tension, unemployment etc!Better comeback home sooner than later! Tsoka ilo their muzique is being played almost every where as we don’t know that we are still promoting them further economically and at fame!
We South African some are our friends such as Thomas Khumalo and his Family lives in Mzimba he got business called Zama Zama Night Club and his brother has one at Rumphi
NYUMBA YA MWINI SAITCHERA MO MBEWA MWAMVA INU NONSE A MUNO MU AFRICA. OF COURSE WE ARE IN A GLOBLE VILLAGE..
This is myopic thinking Mr president, when South Africans flee their country during apartheid and stayed in other countries you were using your own resources, other countries fought financially and politically and spiritually to help you South Africans and today their governments are irresistible. Mr president how many South Africans live abroad???? If American government today follow suit how many of your people will be repatriated to your land of mother sins. If this xenophobia was your strategy, why wouldn’t you just strengthen your immigration law like other western countries are doing? You mean killing people from other countries like chickens and pigs will make your country more rich than others? Sorry Mr shower, should have devised other means not using your uneducated Zulus to kill innocent people. By your words you must even close your embassies in other 3 because economic integration means a lot, people migrating to where there is greener pastures. Mr shower president you must withdrawal your statements otherwise bokhoharam is justified to bomb your embassies so that you live in your Island
Zuma is telling the truth in black and white. 2000 illegal migrants enter on daily basis and what a mess are creating in Mzanzi? Even if it were in Malawi, we would complain. We dont need to be reminded that there were violent xenophobic attacks on Somalis, Burundis and Rwandans in Dowa and we chose to close our eyes.
In fact, by refusing to integrate our Somali, Burundi and Rwandan brothers into our society and continue keeping them in make shift camps of Dzaleka and Luwani for a period of 20 years proves that we are more xenophobic than South Africans. Its easy kuona chitsotso cha m’maso mwa nzako kusiya chikuni cha m’diso lako. Zuma is talking the truth here, unfortunately the truth hurts – that’s why many people are afraid of the truth.
ok mr president!
Zuma u talking something u don’t know much we have ur sons and daughters as am saying at Mzimba we have Zulu Thomas Khumalo and his brother Kedings Sowetan born and tell King zwelithini to go and fetch any kings of Nguni and they people We have Jeres ,Ndlovu ,Makamo they disturbing us tMzimba district belong to Tumbukas not south africans
But zuma!!! speaking lk he don,t have abrain, thats wy malema hates him. May God hv mercy upon him!! n bless our mother malawi.
styp xenophobic attack,, mis u mandelah en luck dube
His is the one behind that
Zuma is right.Its time for african countries to take care their citizen, southafrican are tired now.
Zuma must really be demented to the highest order. To the Zulu king whose comments triggered these attacks, he and Zuma must have willfully forgotten that, the Economic Sanctions on Foreign oil companies in Africa, especially Nigeria that forced the hands of Britain and the United States to force F. DeKlerk and other Apartheid leaders not only to relinquish power but to release Madiba. Other African institutions no provided shelter for SA exiles but also raised money to support their cause. What a shame. I thought S.Africans will have been the first to teach these rampaging Youths history and send them to School start sending manpower and help other fellow African who are under the oppression of their leaders who don’t want to relinquish power. For fellow Nigerians and other Africans that are on self-exile to SA, they should hold their breath. Respite is coming for the election of General Buhari. Zuma, you’re not welcomed to Abuja for the swearing in ceremony. The govt may invite you for diplomacy, but the Nigerian people (especially this writer) don’t cherish your visit. Its a share hypocracy if you will look us in the eyes at eagle square on May 29th and tell us that you’re really our friend when you can’t provide home for the very people who helped liberate you. Madiba must be crunching in his grave. We know he loved us (Nigerians) and other African brothers and sisters. Shame on the current crop of corrupt leaders in SA. To other fellow SA who have embarked on this carnage despite the fact of history, whatever goes around comes around. All acts of ingratitude awaits the fate of the Almighty. I never thought in my generation, I will ever see this treatment from a SA brother or sister to his fellow African. Long live Papa’s land, mother Africa.
Babulo ali pafupi kugwa ndithu…..South Africa is for white people
The problem is South African government they don’t have Police 3quaters of its police Officers are corrupt and they don’t check industries premises to know how many foreigners works without proper documents we ll c since they ll be helped by soldiers and home affairs
Its only the late mandela who knows the significant of intertrade and a foreigner south africa was built by foreigners even today too much companies and shops for immigrants so what are u talking abt do u think al countries can be rich in resources if u dot hav smething to say just close yr mouth
Zuma drop dead! There are South Africans in Malawi, Likewise take care of your citizens so they do not come to the UK
Clapp hands for Zuma! He talks facts! Umphawi ngomwe uphese amalawi! He retorically condemns the killings but at the same time is quick to remind africa that msamatumize anthu anu kwaZulu natal! kk
zuma u are right
Iv never even in my most stupid dreams ever wanted to go and live in that country of monsters! What the… Is this son of a… Is Saying for goodness sake! He should get his people pread across the world back to his country first before blurting out this stinking cimit! Who does he think he is?
Stupid remarks from stupid president
Why wil african president says why africans com to south africa? This is jst wat d zulu king said that has caused dealth of africans and zuma is repeatin it.so is only d white that ar free in africa?
SAY NO TO SOUTH AFRICAN PRODUCTS (All products from Unilever south africa, building materials etc)
I can almost guarantee that you woke up this morning used the exact same products you are want others to boycott.
God will always make away
what ever the case it has to be categorically stated that xenophobia is quite barbaric and inhuman vice and should not be tolerated @ all cost.What Zuma says portrays that he delibelately sanctioned the malpractice.killing humans is evil regardless of how sound the reasons for it may look. On the other hand killing does not imply that the problem of employment will completely . evaporate from south Africa.These problems are part and parcel of life.There are perpetual global problem irrespective of a countrys economy.
Who do you think Zuma would look out for? His own people or people from other countries? When are you going to start taking the responsibility of putting the welfare of your people in your own country? South Africa doe NOT owe Malawians a living!
South Africans are in Malawi too why not in their country? Only nonsense from Zuma like his xenophobic citizens he forgets that 70% of their economy arises from other countries across Africa.
How many South Africans are in Malawi in comparison to Malawians in South Africa? Answer that if you have a brain.
Now we know who is behind the xenophobic attacks..
But is he lying? People,for those who went to xul and use reasoning,zuma akunena zoona,but killing was not a solution.
South Africa does not owe Malawi a living, Zuma is right!
Zuma mphuno yako. kani ndiwe munthu woganiza mopepera chochi.
if this is true then the president is in support for xeno y then we take a step for revenge
you are an idiot, plain and simple.
zuma is a wizard indeed
The truth hurts. Why should Zimbabwe have it’s citizens as illegal immigrants in neighbouring countries when it has capacity to be better than RSA? Why should Malawi president have palaces when the money could have been in job creation? We have to own up to the releality that we are directionless as Africans.
thats very true koma mwalankhula nthawi yolakwika bwana. pple r crying and all u can say that?
I have got a problem with this leader. Should we say that in this world is there any country without a foreigner.Rely what is so special with this country to an extent of wanting to leave like an island. Why do u plant ur companies in our countries if ur rich on your own.

he has a point- when your own citizens ran away to RSA it’s because the mother govts’s policies are tantamount to xenophobia to it’s own citizens and they ran away. i rest my case.
He has spoken the truth. Other African leaders should feel ashamed of themselves. That’s if they are normal
That means xenophobia was a planned move
