  • South Africans were left divided after Kaya FM presenter Sizwe Dhlomo and Minister Gayton McKenzie exchanged heated words on X (formerly Twitter).

The article from MSN discusses a heated online exchange between South African media personality Sizwe Dhlomo and politician Gayton McKenzie, which has sparked significant public interest and division. The clash began when McKenzie, the leader of the Patriotic Alliance, made comments on social media about the need for stricter immigration policies, which Dhlomo criticized as xenophobic. This led to a back-and-forth where McKenzie defended his stance by highlighting issues like crime and unemployment, attributing them partly to undocumented immigrants. Dhlomo, on the other hand, argued for a more inclusive approach, emphasizing South Africa's history of solidarity with other African nations during apartheid. The debate has polarized opinions, with some supporting McKenzie's call for tighter border controls, while others back Dhlomo's advocacy for unity and compassion towards immigrants. This online feud has not only highlighted the ongoing debate over immigration in South Africa but also reflects broader societal tensions regarding national identity, economic challenges, and xenophobia.
