THE BEACON OF SOUTH AFRICA HAS FADED AND WHAT DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REPAIR THOSE BONDS (XENOPHOBIA)

  • 7

There has been a recent upsurge in violence against migrants in South Africa, but how common are such attacks?

Xenophobia has reared its ugly head in the rainbow nation. African nations have had enough.

This week at least 10 people were killed, and hundreds arrested in a spasm of xenophobic violence and looting in Johannesburg, Pretoria and elsewhere in the country.

Much of the violence and crime targeted foreign African migrants from countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Zambia and Kenya.
And of course, there is a difference between feeling separated from the continent and its people and violence against African Migrants.

In a divided nation like South Africa, where racism is universally and rightly condemned, the prejudice against foreigners is out in the open.

I am often told by South Africans that “foreigners are to blame for crime, drugs, importing fake goods, taking people’s jobs and their wives.

That casual xenophobia crosses racial lines and income brackets. And attacks on foreigners so frequent, they don’t always generate headlines.

who is to blame for this menace?..
South African Politicians, Security chiefs, traditional leaders, foreigners?

    all the above. The xenophobic attacks in South Africa are similar to racism in the U.s. It is systemic and economic challenges and the human nature of always needing someone to blame.

    We are still slaves and our color is still a tool used to put us against each other. 🙁

    Pieter Willem Botha, was a former White president of South Africa during the colonial apartheid era.

    In 1988, he told the World: Black people can not rule themselves because they don’t have the brain and mental capacity to govern a society.

    He went further to say, how the black people hate themselves! He said: “Give them guns, they would kill themselves;
    Give them power, they will steal all the government money;
    Give them independence, they will use it to promote tribalism, ethnicity, bigotry, hatred, killings and wars!”

    Tell me of any black society today where they love each other?
    Xenophobia in South Africa is a reflection of how weak the black man brain functions! They hate themselves, they are jealous of each other, they kill each other with reckless abandon, they can’t think beyond tribal considerations, blacks don’t know why Africa was even divided by the Europeans!
    Xenophobia tells you, how black brain is negatively constructed! Indians are not killing themselves, no matter where they come from;
    Chinese don’t kill each other, no matter what they do together;
    The Asians don’t kill each other…….but black Africans derive joy in hatred, war, stealing, looting, jealousy, ethnicity and killing of each other!

    South African white, Indian, Asian and Chinese community, are looking at black people as animals who can not live together in peace and harmony but to kill themselves!
    Anytime you hear Black South Africans talk about xenophobia, reflect your mind back to Pieter Willem Botha, who said: “Blacks can never be able to organize themselves without killing each other!

    Xenophobia is a crime against humanity. What a shame on Black Race!!!!
