A routine workday for a security officer from the Venda community working for SBV took an unsettling turn when he was reportedly stopped and questioned by a Zulu-speaking individual who challenged his nationality after he struggled to speak isiZulu fluently.
In a video that has since gone viral, a man is seen asking where the security officer is from. "Why do you care where I'm from? You want to see my ID?"
Mukhethwa Dzhugudzha, a social commentator and activist, told IOL that the incident reflects deeper societal tensions that extend well beyond questions of immigration enforcement.
"Let's be honest, if a Venda man can be called a foreigner in his own country because he does not speak IsiZulu then this is not just about illegal immigration because if this was truly about documentation then South Africans would not be attacked and humiliated simply for speaking the wrong language."
