    South Africa's Zulu king has raised eyebrows by using a highly
    derogatory term for foreigners and saying they must all leave the
    country during a much-hyped speech that was supposed to have been aimed
    at calming anti-migrant feelings in his home province of KwaZulu-Natal.

    The 51-year-old monarch did not advocate violence but said all
    "kwerekwere", an offensive word for African migrants, must pack their
    bags - even if they were in relationships with South Africans and had
    children with them.

    More than a decade on, xenophobia and anger directed at migrants remain
    a key political issue - with some believing foreigners are stealing jobs
    and benefiting from public services meant for South Africans.

    This guy has learned well from TrumprCOs tactics. He is asking his
    warriors to sharpen their spears. People like Musk should not be allowed
    to stay, also immigrants from neighboring countries.

    He believes in South Africa first and wants block healthcare for
    foreigners. Predictably, Trump will threaten the king with 100% tariff
    saying the white people are treated very badly over there.

    Well, arenrCOt the brown people treated very badly by TrumprCOs ICE thugs
    over here?
