South Africa and the Weaponisation of the “Foreign Criminals” Narrative

How many foreign nationals do you think are incarcerated in South Africa's prison system? Of this number, how many do you think are Nigerians? If you have been following popular public conversations in South Africa, you would think the numbers should be in the tens or hundreds of thousands - and you would be hilariously wrong.

Using the actual data to make the point, @Big_Mck explores the anatomy of how psy-ops work in Africa by constructing what sound like believable narratives out of complete fabrication and fiction. At a time when the US Africa Command has openly announced the launch of its "Operation Drongo" psy-op targeting Africa with a sophisticated Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) attack, it is more important than ever before for Africans to learn to scrutinise whatever information they allow to get into their ears and eyeballs.
