Phuzekhemisi speaks out

The guitarist said his main concern is that illegal occupants in Mzansi pose a serious threat when crime is allegedly committed. Phuzekhemisi told the news publication that they cannot be traced by law enforcement, and that is very worrisome.

“When they do illegal activities in the country, they aren’t traceable, and that is my worry every day,” he was quoted as saying.

Fans have been warning the singer not to be too vocal about this, fearing that he might lose out on international gigs. However, he said that his papers are in order, so he does not fear anything hindering his ability to tour globally.

Insisting that his message was not driven by hate, Misuzulu said, “Our sisters, we are being hurt by you and your love for foreigners,” the King said, drawing both murmurs and applause from the crowd.

He also touched on children born to South Africans and foreign nationals, he added, “What can we say? We have to call them our nephews. We must sit down as a nation and figure out how to deal with this. Even if my nephew is fathered by a foreigner, the child must remain, and the foreigner must go,” he said.
