A video has begun circulating again of South Africa’s Deputy Minister of Police, Bongani Michael Mkongi, saying the city of Johannesburg was taken over by foreigners, with 80% of the city controlled by them. .

In the two minute video shared below, the Minister infers that South Africans are justified in their attacks on foreigners as the country has lost huge parts of their cities to foreigners.

He said it’s unacceptable, adding that South African’s can never surrender their land to foreigners.

Rather than condemning the xenophobic culture Mkongi said; “You can’t find South Africans in other countries dominating a city up to 80%… we cannot surrender South Africa to foreign nationals”

As the current wave of xenophobia hits the country, South Africans have resorted to the old video and have been sharing it wide on social media to justify their attacks on foreigners.

Scores of people have so far been attacked with hundreds displaced in the ongoing wave of attacks.
