"South Africa's New Minister Of Home Affairs Was Not Born In Zimbabwe"

South Africa’s new Minister of Home Affairs, Leon Schreiber, has refuted false reports claiming he was born in Zimbabwe.

After President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Schreiber to the Cabinet on Sunday night, screenshots circulating on social media platforms purportedly showed a Wikipedia citation stating that the Democratic Alliance (DA) MP was born in Zimbabwe.

eNCA reporter Pule Letshwiti-Jones cautioned the public about the reliability of Wikipedia, saying that anyone can edit the online encyclopedia. He posted on X:

Newly appointed Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber is not from Zimbabwe. Schreiber was born in the Northern Cape. Verifying information won’t hurt anyone.

Schreiber confirmed that he was born and raised in South Africa. He posted on X:

Drew my first breath at Radie Kotze clinic in Piketberg [Western Cape]. Grew up in Kleinzee in Namaqualand [Northern Cape], followed by studies in Stellenbosch, Berlin and Princeton.

And until my last breath, I will fight for the country I love against liars and looters.

Schreiber, aged 35, holds a bachelor’s degree in International Studies and a PhD in political science.

He graduated from Paul Roos Gymnasium in Stellenbosch in 2006, a renowned school noted for producing Springbok players.

As reported by BusinessLive, Schreiber said that addressing the backlog of working visas is high on the agenda. He said:

We absolutely have to look at visa processes, we have to take the visa issue very seriously, as this is an economic catalyst for SA.

We need to have a process whereby people who want to contribute skills or capital to SA are actually able to do that.

It is a well-established fact that many individuals of Zimbabwean heritage have held prominent positions in the public and private sectors across countries like South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

However, the current youthful Home Affairs Minister of South Africa is not one of them.

While Zimbabwean-born professionals have often excelled in various leadership roles internationally, the South African Home Affairs Minister in question does not share this Zimbabwean background.

@ Unpatriotic Those unsubstantiated claims made by sensationalists should not be repeated on public platforms...The Great Satan and her allies are the ones to blame for the malaise of the Health sector and not the revolutionary party....Name me just one area in Zimbabwe where there are blackouts that last for 15 hours???.... While you are busy attacking our health sector located in the third world your heroes in the UK and US are literally fleeing their local health care centers to go and get medical assistance in countries such as Canada and India because it is a shambles over there... Furthermore, most of the lakes and rivers in the UK are filled to the brim with effluence yet I do not see you and your buddies working at opposition inc newspaper writing about that

@ . get out of the opposition swamp hey...There was no coup in Zimbabwe and even your leaders at Opposition Inc can confirm that. Mugabe resigned under his own volition and even his loved ones can attest to that...Do not play revisionist historian in order to placate your own warped dystopian fantasies...We are under civilian rule and the army is safely nestled in the barracks...😂😂😂 I am sure using the word Junta makes you feel like some sort of off-brand political commentator..Too bad the only Junta in Zimbabwe is Juntal and his iron grip on the rhumba genre😂😂😂...Erudite out

@. I love how the hive mind nonchalantly decided to call a legitimate government a junta for no apparent reason....Do you even have the gravitas to call this democratically elected government a Junta???...I am sure your love for foreign lands has you confused...We are in Zimbabwe and not Myanmar where an actual Junta is in control... Please rein in your emotions this is not some dingy bar where your high spirited emotions take precedent...You are in the vocal minority of uncle Tom's that derive validation from hating your country....The rest of us love this country and will die before we glory hunt for Zimbabweans abroad when we have better ones here at home...

this military junta was installed via a coup in 2017 and has illegitimately held power by stealing 2 subsequent elections.

I am happy he denounced Zimbabwe for he does not originate from the motherland...Only those with an inferiority complex claim citizens from another country....Have pride in your own nation instead of glory hunting other nations...This unwarranted love for Caucasian people will bite you in the rear end one day I swear....

Why are some sections of this illustrious country so willing and eager to co-opt citizens from other nations and hold them up as their own...I am sure this stems from a deep-rooted hatred of their own nation..These are the effects of supporting rudderless marionettes and puppets of the West which masquerade as champions of democracy... Leave that white man alone he is not Zimbabwean and we are better for it
