A viral video circulating online shows a man from Limpopo province shouting at Zulu telecom workers, telling them to go back to their province and declaring that they are foreigners in Limpopo. The incident comes weeks after widespread anti-immigrant sentiment targeted black immigrants from other African countries.
Video Captures Confrontation
The footage, shared on Instagram by Lindaikejiblog, depicts the man aggressively confronting workers who appear to be from KwaZulu-Natal. He repeatedly tells them to leave Limpopo and work in their own province, asserting that they have no right to be there.
Shift from Anti-Immigrant to Internal Tensions
Weeks earlier, outrage in South Africa had been directed at black immigrants from other African nations. However, with those immigrants reportedly gone, some South Africans have now turned on their fellow countrymen from different provinces. This highlights ongoing internal divisions within the country.
The video has sparked debate about xenophobia and regionalism in South Africa, with many questioning the logic of labeling citizens from other provinces as foreigners.
