Why is #PutSouthAfricanFirst trending in South Africa?
\u201cPut South Africa First\u201d started as a movement of organisations who were against illegal immigration.\nIt has since grown. The hashtag #PutSouthAfricanFirst has been trending in South Africa every day for months. \nThere have also been marches, protests, social media campaigns in support. \nAnd pressure is also being put on companies to hire local citizens, even over totally legal immigrants.\nThe movement has caused concern among some observers. \nUnemployment is a hot topic in South Africa. It is, of course, a country where thousands of people from across the continent come to live and work. \nBut nearly 35% of the population are currently out of work.\nSo what is really happening with this campaign? Is it just a front for anti-immigrant sentiments and motives?
