"This is sad because these organisations seem genuine and want to help really people in danger and need, but to think they getting scammed by these people and taking space for people who really are in genocide and in need breaks my heart. I hope God expose them.🥺"

Sphelelemthethwa remarked:

"Good luck to them, we don't mind people leaving South Africa. What we don't like is the lies they told about genocide and persecution."
