He defended South Africa’s stance against xenophobia, stressing that the nation’s openness shouldn’t be overshadowed by isolated incidents, while acknowledging illegal immigration as a global issue requiring legal, not hateful, responses. Mbalula underscored the economic bond — Mozambique is South Africa’s largest continental trading partner — and championed expanding the Maputo Development Corridor to boost regional integration, reminding all that colonial borders can’t sever the unbreakable kinship between “One People in Two Countries.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
