Episode Details

MTN’s Mcebisi Jonas slams anti-immigrant violence in South Africa, warning it’s crippling the continent’s economic future. He argues migration has historically fueled growth, but the real crisis is weak domestic growth, exclusion, and brain drain — not immigrants themselves. Speaking at a migration seminar, Jonas links recent attacks on foreign-owned businesses to opportunistic politics and criminal exploitation, stressing that blaming immigrants ignores deep-rooted failures in governance, education, infrastructure, and inequality. He insists South Africa’s decline stems from policy missteps — not foreign presence — and that blaming immigrants is a dangerous distraction.
