A prominent South African anti-immigration activist has sparked widespread debate after reportedly telling a court that he could not afford legal representation because he is unemployed. According to reports, the activist told the judge, “I don’t have a lawyer because I don’t work,” a statement that quickly went viral on social media and reignited discussions around unemployment, immigration, and xenophobia in South Africa. The incident has also renewed conversations about anti-immigrant sentiment in the country. Over the years, thousands of African migrants have been affected by waves of xenophobic violence, with foreign-owned businesses looted, properties destroyed, and many families forced to flee their communities.

 Tatyana Ali says son was pushed back inside her during traumatic birth


Tatyana Ali recently opened up about the traumatic birth of her first son, Edward, in 2016. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star recalled being “held down” during delivery and said doctors even pushed her baby back inside after he had already crowned a maneuver she emphasized was not a recognized medical procedure.


 Despite having a healthy pregnancy and a birth plan in place, Ali explained that everything changed once she entered the hospital, leading to an emergency C-section and complications for her newborn, who spent several days in the NICU.


Ali described the ordeal as one of the most painful and frightening experiences of her life, noting that Edward struggled to urinate on his own for nearly a week. 


A pediatric urologist later told her that the traumatic nature of the delivery likely caused the complications. 


Reflecting on the experience, Ali said she felt her birth plan was disregarded and that her autonomy was taken away during the process, leaving lasting emotional scars.


Since then, Ali has turned her personal trauma into advocacy, raising awareness about maternal health disparities, particularly among Black women. 


She highlighted that Black women are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth, a statistic often overlooked or attributed to other health risks. 


Ali now sees it as her mission to speak out, using her platform to amplify voices that are rarely heard and to push for change in how women especially women of color are treated during childbirth.
