The first group of Ghanaian nationals accepted their government’s voluntary repatriation offer and departed from OR Tambo International Airport on Wednesday.
I stated the other day, "Let me be clear: I completely disagree and abhor this targeting of immigrants, particularly those from Africa. The emphasis is on the wrong issues...."
I see the government has now had an urgent meeting of some key ministers and some civil society groups like March and March to 'deal' with this issue. The leaders of the civil society group left the meeting early, and it later emerged that the meeting was haphazardly organized and was probably a waste of taxpayers' money and everybody's time.
You see, this is again an indication that we are unfortunately governed by people who are floating in the wind, who are focusing on the wrong things, and who deal with problems that have been allowed to gather steam in a knee-jerk way and again after the fact.
We thought that now that we would have the #tonedeafDA and others being part of government with the #lostthePlotANC things would be better. How utterly disappointing & useless have they all turned out to be (they are in the same cabinet but quietly push in different directions).
