Kere Nyawo speaks on foreigners allegedly stealing local jobs

Following the ongoing unrest in various parts of South Africa where locals forcefully had foreign-owned spaza shops closed down, this has heightened locals’ demands for stricter national security with regard to foreign nationals.

As the case of Chidimma Adetshina’s identity and fraud case develops, the conversation around illegal immigrants has again become the main topic of discussion, and actor, Kere ‘Popeye’ Nyawo, shared his thoughts on it.

In an interview with David Mashabela posted by ThisIsColbert, the veteran actor claimed that contrary to popular belief, foreigners were not taking jobs from South Africans, but were instead using their skills to create opportunities.

Popeye said if the government and education system focused on skills development, South Africans would be self-sufficient and help the country move forward:

“South Africans like to say, ‘Foreigners are taking our jobs.’ Foreigners are not taking their jobs; they are creating their own jobs in South Africa because they’ve seen a market.”
