Dr Musa Mthombeni urges oppressed white South Africans to leave

Sizwe Dhlomo isn’t the first South African celebrity to weigh in on the issue of oppressed Afrikaners.

In February, former YoTV presenter Dr Musa Mthombeni sent out a strong message to white South Africans who felt they were being oppressed in the country.

Mthombeni urged white people who felt oppressed to take up US President Donald Trump’s offer to Afrikaners.

The child star argued that the cost of living in the United States would give Afrikaners a reality check.

"If you think you’re 'suffering' and are 'oppressed' here, please pack your bags and relocate to the US and see what real suffering is. Americas with jobs are homeless. Read that again! Literal cost of living crisis in America. Good luck and see back here soon,” Musa Mthombeni wrote at the time.

A fan suggested that Sizwe Dhlomo should invite Scotts Maphuma, ostensibly to give him a platform after he became a victim of cancel culture.
