Former DA MP Lindiwe Mazibuko has responded to a man who tweeted that a “productive and employment creating family” are leaving SA as they are fed up with crime, feeling unsafe and paying excess taxes.

The post shows a New Zealand entry stamp which reads, “New Zealand entry, 21 January 2020".

While many bashed the decision to leave and others maintained SA is a country in progress, Mazibuko delivered a message she said was from her parents.

“My parents who spent their whole working lives paying taxes under apartheid so you could enjoy protection from police that either ignored or brutalised us, wish you well for your new life,” it reads in part.
