They are complaining about the people of Malawi being chased away like dogs when they say they were creating job opportunities in South Africa.
They said this while talking toOf this country They are in Sherwood, Durban, where they are sitting together as they wait for the transport buses to take them back to their home.
They asked that their names not be revealed. The first revealed that he has been living in South Africa for 14 years.
He said he owns a construction company, in which he revealed that there are six people in this country who are full-time employees and trust him so that they can support their families.
He argued that their presence in the country creates a lack of job opportunities for the indigenous people.
”As for me, as I am just struggling, it has been a long time since I used my company to make a living as well as to help the South Africans I employ to support their families. I wonder what will happen to them now that their employer has been fired?” he said.
He said it works in South Africa, that’s why they choose to come there to try for life, he said they are not doing anything wrong and that’s why they feel embarrassed and sad when they are arrested together with people from other countries but it keeps them doing wrong things for the purpose of making a living.
He stated that it is good for now as they are still being evicted but soon there will be crying and gnashing of teeth from the people of this country when they realize that they were really careless in evicting the innocent.
“I’m telling you, you’ll regret firing us. Maybe you won’t see that yet, but soon after we’re gone, you’ll start to see that you really made a mistake by firing people who were doing a good job in your country,” he said.
Another said the same thing, he said that he earns a living by building roofs and has been in this country for two years.
He also said that he has no doubt that the people of South Africa will be sorry for describing them like deserts. He said uuntil you swore that someone had killed him when it was not the case.
He stated that although they are working in this country, he complained about the great hatred that he said is being shown by the people of this country towards them. He said that this is an old thing that is confusing to them because they are also from Africa.
He also accused the government of Malawi, saying that it is silent, it does not show that it wants to support them so that they can return to their country. He said those in power are complacent.
He emphasized that they were very angry with the people of South Africa because they chased them away like dogs.
Another person from Malawi said that he had only been in the country for three months, he said that he was going to try life like others and he did not ask the sun.
Some were complaining about the condition of the place where they live in Sherwood, saying that we don’t swallow saliva at all. They were also talking about the food they got, saying it was little.
