  • Each day thousands of forced migrants flood into Johannesburg in search of a better life. Many have risked their lives to cross South Africa’s borders, and in their desperation resort to the only accommodation they can afford: the slum buildings of the inner city of Johannesburg. The slum buildings are vertical squatter camps - far more dangerous, far more overcrowded, where the fight for survival is brutal and unrelenting. Many of the buildings are hijacked; some are run by slumlords that demand rent from tenants, despite the fact that there is no water or electricity in the buildings. Many of those who cross South Africa’s borders enter the country illegally, carrying the little they own, and often without any form of documentation. They fear deportation and police brutality, and many speak of corrupt home-affairs officials to whom they must pay bribes to apply for asylum or refugee status. They therefore choose to become “invisible”, and are vulnerable to abuse, violence and discrimination.

    As an African south frican, I extremely apologise to our African brothers. Corruption in South Africa is a plague to us all. I apologise that our country has failed to receive you in a manner that upholds and protects you as a human being. Life for many south Africans despite the image potreyed in the is very hard. People go through the same struggles hence the increase of crime in this country and the drugs too. For alot of people Apartheid did not end, the system is still structured for a an African man to fail. Resistance will only be possible through unity. South Africa alone can not can not fix the issues in Africa.

      The title clearly defines the angle at which the story will be told. Furthermore it focuses on the bigger issue which is xenophobia and corruption. To talk about the few rich immigrants or criminals would be akin taking a minute to compliment the paintings in a house that's busy burning down.

    These guys are just humble, polite and respectful. All I can say as a South African is that when you are a foreigner you are just at the mercy of the police and the locals, I'm saying this because I have also been a foreigner. One thing that worsens the situations for all foreigners is when one of them commits a crime, we all know what happens next, they are all punished and given that job opportunities for foreigners are very low, crime is just around the corner.
    But on a broader view, I blame the decisions taken by Zimbabwe, the influx of foreigners in our country is too much, we are also not doing well, and when they come to compete with the locals its obvious that that the locals will be given preference. I also think that those home affairs administrators took advantage of them simply because they are foreigners, they rarely ever ask for bribes from South Africans. The sanctions imposed to Zimbabwe by the US and its affiliates really did harm to Zimbabweans.

    OK, let us tackle the issue from all angles.being one of the so called black foreigners in south Africa(people from Africa ,as if south Africa is a country out of African continent ignoring just by its name ,South Africa it is nothing but a location in the African continent ) every second of this documentary has no fabricated content, every thing you see and hear is out of the every day real life in this country. Now this is how we tackle the issue from all angles.,Starting with South Africans; Due to the experience our fellow Black south Africans ( the citizens) went through during the apartheid regime, the personalities and what they real are, is the results of the oppression they went through. Few are liberated today but many are still facing the negative effects of the oppression, these many are the ignorant ones.
    Africans have been always migrating to the south of Africa in search of opportunities even during the apartheid regime, but during the Apartheid regime indeed there was a lot of opportunities in terms of works. But today's South African government cannot provide opportunities to its own citizens and Africans are coming like never before.
    These migrating Africans into south Africa are from all different classes, the upper class middle class and the low class of their societies that they are coming from in their countries, so each one of them will experience south Africa according to social class he or she is in.
    In concluding all these matters proves that there is a lot still need to be done for Africa and Africans to be liberated.

Why do foreigners make it as if they're the only ones experiencing these difficulties? Just goes to show how unreasonable foreigners are and that's exactly the reason you are being treated this way...fucken exaggeration!

    This is a powerful documentary. My heart goes out to these poor refugees. They are bearing the brunt of the injustices performed on the poor of South Africa. The rich want the local working class blaming the refugees from Zimbabwe, as it acts as a release valve. The local workers need to focus their rightful anger on the rich of South Africa. They need to demand taxes on the mining industry, and use that money to build free housing for the poor. A key election promise by the ANC in 94 was to build houses. They fell well short of it. There is still time! If the mines complain, nationalise them! The black working class of South Africa has already produced opulent riches for the mine owners, it is time that they see the benefits of those riches!

      Iggy - I agree and disagree some South Africans are xenophobic to other fellow Africans people call them amakwerekwere a derogatory term used to identify foreigners. White foreigners are mostly treated with dignity and respect compared to your fellow African counterparts. This I have solid evidence of it because I lived in South Africa for 6 years as a British foreigner. It’s true their some South Africans who are well informed educated and they treat everyone with dignity and respect despite we’re they come from. Most of these Africans hated by South Africans are the ones who sheltered your forefathers during apartheid time when they went into exile. We had a lot of refugees from South Africa from the 60s ,70s , 80s up to 1994 who lived here in England fleeing apartheid. A lot of them went to neighbouring countries like Zimbabwe, Mozambique,Zambia setting up camps. Most of the current generation are not aware of this history that South Africans who lived in exile were refugees. You must all unite as Africans and be one remember those borders were put by former colonial masters to divide you as a people. It’s called divide and conquer. That’s my personal opinion mate take no offence 😊

    I don't think the situation is as bad as it is made out to be. There are extreme examples on both sides of the spectrum. The Democratic of South Africa is more class society than xenophobic and/or racist. A lot of South African have it just as hard in their own country. If we want to be scientific about the matter then we must pull the crime statistics. They will give an indication of which nationalities, ethnic groups and races are perpetrators of various crimes. In a country governed by law the question as to why the crime is perpetrated is irrelevant, that's why the law is there is the first place, to put a distinction between right and wrong. Foreigners and Africans in general have made immense contributions before and after our democracy and they continue to do so. What we also see is that there are segments that come into South Africa to rape the system with disastrous impact on the economy, and society. That creates a lot of animosity between the nationals and the foreigners. But all in all it is not wise to generalise. Issues must be dealt with on a case by case basis, and individual by individual. A criminal is a criminal no matter the race, nationality or ethnicity.

      That's a big lie. No foreigner comes to South Africa and expect free housing.
      Most of them provide manual labour working as gardeners and housekeepers, and rent back rooms in townships.
      Free housing, free education and grant only goes to South Africans, and it's very hard for a foreigner from Africa to gain citizenship in South Africa to even demand free services such as housing. I think you're mistaken.

They have taken a hardline stance against all other tribes in Zimbabwe telling them they don’t belong there. Now that this monster they have fed for decades is turning against them, they come to South Africa and want to talk about being good neighbours. That’s utter nonsense. Just go to Beitbridge.

So what is the answer to the question: is it better now? Zimbabwe was given freedom and democracy and what happened: it was destroyed. What is happening in South Africa now? Is it improving? Are people more safe. I see a lot of death and destruction. I don't see any improvement - except for the anc government leaders. Some of the richest people in South Africa come from Robben Island!!

    I found it fascinating and sad.

Soweto is used to the people from all over moving in, and is extremely diverse. Might not be a quick fix, but slightly better conditions maybe...

      They supply their own people with food on a daily basis. The same is happening in certain areas of Grassy Park, and Mitchells Plain. Well done to those leaders!
