Phakela Says He Wants to Becomes SA’s President Without Politics & Will Sjambok Illegal Foreigners

Phakela has sparked debate online after expressing his desire to become South Africa’s president and making controversial comments about how foreign nationals should be treated in the country.

In a video circulating on social media, Phakela questions the quality of leadership in South Africa, suggesting that the country is in need of stronger leadership. He claims that if he were to become president, he would take a hard-line approach towards foreign nationals living in the country.

Phakela says he would instruct his supporters or followers to use sjamboks to assault foreign nationals, a remark that has raised concerns about the language being used in discussions surrounding immigration and the treatment of migrants.

He also criticises the conduct of some foreign nationals, alleging that they behave as though they are free to do whatever they want in South Africa. Among his complaints, Phakela questions how some foreign nationals reportedly marry South African women without paying lobola, the traditional bridewealth payment practised in many South African communities.

His comments come amid ongoing public discussions about immigration, national identity, leadership and the rights of foreign nationals in South Africa.

While his presidential ambitions have drawn attention, his remarks about physical punishment have also raised questions about tolerance, human rights and the dangers of encouraging violence against people based on their nationality.

It remains unclear what practical political steps, if any, Phakela intends to take towards pursuing the presidency.
