Africa, has 54 sovereign states and only three countries hosted South Africans for an
agreed period of time and it was all based on preconditions and restrictions. Angola,
Tanzania and Zambia were countries that hosted South Africans

[A thread ]
with a clear
understanding that after sometime they will go back to South Africa. Mozambique,
Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Swaziland were transit countries and Ethiopia, Egypt
and Algeria offered training camps for a selective period and soon after, South Africans
had to...
return back to the 3 host countries. Very few countries but not all were in
solidarity support but never in financial support and countries like Kenya and DRC used
to deport any South African found in their country back to South Africa. It is quite
interesting to acknowledge that
the liberation movement was once expelled by host
nations and it was then that comrade Kebby Maphatsoe lost his arm in Angola. The
liberation movement was also expelled in Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho and
Zimbabwe. Botswana didn’t even bother to host South Africans.
While living in those
host countries, South Africans were living in camps and they were not allowed to mix
with the local people from those countries and they had to lease land to grow their own
food and they had to build a school and hospital which was fully funded by countries
In Europe that were against Apartheid. Freedom of movement was at a minimum and every time South Africans had to leave the camp which was once every fortnight, they had to have a permit which only allowed them to leave the camp for only one hour and if they
came back past ...
the given time then they would be arrested by the soldiers who were stationed at the entrance of the camp. More importantly, there has never been a South
African that worked in any country in Africa. Living conditions were not good and
Malaria, AIDS and other diseases killed ...
South Africans as those diseases were very
foreign and were non-existent in South Africa. In March 1980, PAC members protested in
Tanzania about the living conditions and soon after, 17 PAC members were gunned down for protesting in a foreign country by the FFU Unit.
This became a clear reminder that you don’t protest in a foreign country. South Africans were very much aware that they
were in those countries temporarily and they couldn't wait to return back home. In 1977, the group of Tsietsi Mashinini that was made up of only 20 students...
was deployed from Somafco, Tanzania to go study in Nigeria, and while they were there, they were welcomed with so much resistance and the Nigerian students protested claiming South Africans are there to take their jobs and women, and not too long after that protest in just..
2 months, one comrade by the name of Joel, was poured with acid on his face and not too
long he died and it was then the group had to be recalled back to Somafco.
