Africa-Press – Zambia. Operation Dudula president Zandile Dabula has criticised Zimbabweans for what she described as a tendency to take offence too easily when South Africans raise concerns about illegal immigration.
Speaking on the “King David Studio Podcast”, Dabula claimed that many Zimbabweans behave as if they are entitled to stay in South Africa, regardless of their legal status. She said:
I don’t know why Zimbabweans think they are special. Every time when you talk of foreigners, they are the first ones to respond.
Immediately, when you talk of illegal immigrants, the first response you will get, even on a social media platform, is a Zimbabwean.
They feel so entitled that they are supposed to be here.
As the head of Operation Dudula, Dabula leads a movement that campaigns against undocumented immigrants.
Although the group enjoys support from segments of the South African public, it has faced persistent criticism for allegedly promoting xenophobia—an accusation its leaders continue to reject.
On the podcast, Dabula and fellow member Ayanda Ndlovu acknowledged that crime is not limited by nationality, but claimed that foreign nationals now play a major role in South Africa’s criminal activities.
They argued that crime levels have worsened since the influx of undocumented immigrants.
