Milele FM presenter and actress Jacquey Nyaminde, popularly known as Wilbroda, has questioned the continued cases of xenophobia in South Africa, calling for greater unity among Africans.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Wilbroda said she struggles to understand why some South Africans reject other Africans living in the country while many South Africans also reside in different parts of the continent.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I don\u2019t understand is, South Africans are also all over. How many South Africans are here?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
The radio host argued that it was unfair for South Africans to deny other Africans opportunities in their country while they themselves have been welcomed in other nations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy is it that hao hawataki but wamejaa kila mahali,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Wilbroda challenged the way some people view migration within Africa, asking what would happen if other countries adopted the same approach and demanded that South Africans return home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if we decided pia wao warudi kwao?\u201d she questioned.<\/p>\n
She said it was painful to see black Africans turning against one another despite sharing a common history and identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cImagine your fellow black man,\u201d Wilbroda said.<\/p>\n
According to Wilbroda, Africans should focus on unity and mutual respect instead of discrimination based on nationality.<\/p>\n
Her comments come amid renewed conversations across the continent about xenophobia in South Africa and the treatment of African migrants.<\/p>\n
The actress has previously criticised xenophobic attitudes, saying South Africa risks disappointing the continent that supported its liberation struggle.<\/p>\n
During an earlier discussion on June 12, 2026, Wilbroda reflected on the support many Africans offered South Africa during its fight against apartheid.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026ilikua inalilia South Africa. The whole world was crying,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She also highlighted the admiration many Africans had for former South African president Nelson Mandela, describing him as a symbol of freedom and hope.<\/p>\n
Wilbroda\u2019s remarks have sparked discussions about Pan-Africanism, migration and the need for stronger relationships between African nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
