Against Xenophobia but Lets educate @TimesLIVE quick!!!

Africa has 54 sovereign states, only three countries hosted South Africans for an agreed period of time, & it was all based on preconditions & restrictions. Angola, Tanzania and Zambia were countries that hosted SAcans

With a clear understanding dat afta sumtym, dey will go back to South Africa. Mozambique, Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Swaziland were transit countries
Ethiopia, Egypt and Algeria offered training camps for a selective period,

soon after, South Africans had to return back to the 3 host countries Very few countries were in solidarity support, but never in financial support. Countries like Kenya and DRC used
to deport any South African found in their country back to South Africa. .

It is quite interesting to acknowledge that the liberation movement was once expelled by host nations, and it was then that comrade Kebby Maphatsoe lost his arm in Angola

The liberation movement was also expelled in Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho and Zimbabwe. Botswana didn’t even bother to host South Africans. While living in those host countries,

South Africans were living in camps and they were not allowed to mix with the local people from those countries, they had to lease land to grow their own food, and had to build a school and hospital which was fully funded by countries in Europe that were against Apartheid.

Freedom of movement was at a minimum, and every

South Africans had to leave the camp which was once every fortnight, they had to have a permit which only allowed them to leave the camp for only one hour.

If the came back past given time, they would be arrested by soldiers who were stationed at the entrance. They neverr worked there. Living conditions were bad, diseases that never existed in SA killed them.

In March 1980, PAC members protested in Tanzania about the living conditions and soon after, 17 PAC members were gunned down
for protesting in a foreign country by the FFU Unit. This became a clear reminder that you don’t protest in a foreign country.

South Africans were very much aware that they were in those countries temporarily, and they couldn't wait to return back home. In 1977, the group of Tsietsi Mashinini that was made up of only 20 students was deployed from Somafco, Tanzania,

to go study in Nigeria, and while they were there, they were welcomed with so much resistance. Nigerian students protested claiming South Africans are there to take their jobs and women, and not too long after that protest, in just 2
months,

one comrade by the name of Joel, was poured with acid on his face. Not too long he died, and it was then that the group had to be recalled back to Somafco.”

Tsietsi Mashinini and Mvuyo,Mbuyiseni Makhubu leaders of 1976 Soweto Uprising dissapeared without a trace in Nigeria-University of Ibadan!
