Vuma FM's Jacinta Ngobese urges South Africans to wake up, saying they are losing their jobs to foreigners.
Ngobese told TshisaLIVE that she isn't being xenophobic but the issue of foreigners has always been a worry for her, as they do just as they please in the country, according to her.
“My sentiment about the state of our country makes me feel uncomfortable that we are living in a country where certain industries are dominated by foreign nationals while citizens of this country are rooted in unemployment and spend their precious time drinking, smoking, doing drugs, gossiping about someone who's making a difference in their own lives — it's heartbreaking,” she said.
She continues: “What kind of country is that? Where partying and acting wealthy is a norm while people are struggling. There's high unemployment but there are people from different parts of the world who are here and working. It doesn't make any sense, what's happening in South Africa.”

Ngobese says entertainment has turned into a culture, and on social media people are being fed bad content, on television as well.
“Impilo [life] is about alcohol and drugs, that's what life is about in South Africa, entertainment is the order of the day, young people are the ones who get exposed to this,” she added.
