“WE SIGNED TREATIES!” Clement Manyathela PUSHES BACK After Bongani Bingwa’s Asylum Remarks

“Who’s us? We signed international treaties.” Bongani Bingwa’s remarks during a heated asylum debate have sparked outrage, with critics questioning who gets to speak on behalf of South Africans and whether the country’s international obligations are being prioritised over citizens’ concerns. Bongani’s comments prompted a strong reaction, but fellow 702 anchor Clement Manyathela pushed back during the discussion, challenging the arguments being made about asylum seekers and international treaties. South Africa has international legal obligations concerning refugees and asylum seekers. However, the debate over how those obligations should be implemented continues to raise difficult questions about border control, public services, national interests and accountability. Does signing international treaties settle the debate, or should South Africans still be able to question how these agreements affect their country?
