Bloemfontein – Hardly a week after Thabo Mbeki, former president took a swipe at Operation Dudula in relation to illegal immigrants, they returned the favour.
Mbeki lambasted and expressed deep concern over the actions of Operation Dudula, stating that it “hurts” him to see the group blaming foreign nationals for South Africa’s socio-economic challenges.
Speaking at a Thanksgiving event marking the 15th anniversary of the Thabo Mbeki Foundation in Johannesburg, Mbeki emphasized that the nation’s problems cannot be attributed to migrants.
He urged South Africans to recognize that these issues are self-inflicted and should be addressed through unity and introspection, rather than scapegoating fellow Africans.
In it’s response Dudula told Mbeki to enjoy his pension.
“You would do well, Mr. Former President, to enjoy your pension and your newly found hobby of photography, and allow South Africa’s young people to address the invasion of our country by illegal foreigners”.
“Former President Mbeki, allow Operation Dudula, together with all South Africans, to fix your mess for the sake of our country and the future of our children”.
With schools now their next target after health, Dudula will most certainly be a force to be reckoned with next year in the local government elections.
