SA-based Zimbos Worried as PA Calls for Mass Deportation
In a move that's got Zimbabweans seriously concerned, the Patriotic Alliance (PA) party in South Africa has stirred up quite a storm. They're demanding the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, including those from Zimbabwe.

Led by Gayton McKenzie, the PA is flexing its newfound political muscles, pushing hard for the expulsion of these immigrants. But here's the twist: this isn't just about paperwork and borders. It's raising fears of xenophobic violence and humanitarian crises.
The PA snagged a cool 9 seats in parliament during the recent elections, giving them a soapbox to shout from. And shout they did—loud and clear—against immigrants. McKenzie's anti-illegal immigrant talk has human rights groups up in arms. They're waving red flags, warning of the dangers of mass deportations and the potential for violence against those seeking a better life.

Enter Simba Chitando, our friendly neighborhood human rights advocate. He sat down with Elvis Presslin to spill the tea on the situation. Simba's not thrilled with McKenzie's tactics. Camping out at the Limpopo River to stop Zimbabweans from sneaking into SA? That's not just a friendly chat—it's intimidation cranked up to eleven.
But wait, there's more! During the COVID-19 pandemic, McKenzie dropped a bombshell. He basically said, “Hey, if an illegal immigrant needs a respirator, I'd yank it off to save a tax-paying South African.” Ouch. Simba's not having it. That's like saying, “Sorry, foreigner, but we need to keep our citizens alive—even if it means sacrificing you.”
Now, tensions between Zimbabwe and South Africa are hotter than a fresh plate of sadza. Zimbabwean officials are pleading for calm, while South African authorities are playing the silent game. Will they respond to the PA's demands? Only time will tell. But for now, Zimbabweans are holding their breath, fearing the fallout from this deportation drama.
