| These people should leave now do not put words in my mouth I never said KILL them. |
After more than 20 years of democracy I honestly thought we knew ubuntu (humanity) like we know the front
and back of our palms. It is sad to see our own African brothers and sisters
being chased away from their own soil by their own siblings. Yes we are all
from mother Africa whether you from North, East, South and West of Africa and
differ in skin colour but the unchangeable bottom line is we are siblings.
It all recently resurfaced in 2015 March 21 when King
Goodwill Zwelithini made comments that foreigners should go back to their
countries due to them taking all the wealth of South African citizens. Note my
first sentence he never mentioned about anyone getting attacked now did he?
Personally I sometimes feel that there is a huge number of foreign nationals in South Africa (*laughs out loud* Abo-Mzala (cousins)) as my grandmother would call
them because they are from neigbouring countries...hey NO OFFENCE.
Although that does not begin to condone or justify the
litres of blood shed around the country. Come on they are people like us we
know very well why these people are here there is havoc in their countries.
Wouldn’t you have done the same if you were in their predicament? Be honest.

Well if you still stunned about the 2015's outbreak 2015's outbreak you
should consider checking out the outbreak that took place in 2008 May in the
Alexandra Johannesburg leaving 100's of people injured and more than 50 people
dead. The way things were getting out of hand a Facebook group was even
established to spread the word act... including myself :).
Let’s be
frank no one is perfect we all have flaws and mistakes and no one has crucified
us so who are we to crucify others. On a positive note the role we played as United Africans was excellent we managed to raise an awareness that we do not want to kill each other just because of our different skin colours. So you see when we stand together and have each others backs we are able to make our voices heard.
The aspiring PRPs note: One love, One heart will take us a very long way. We need each other I still say #NoToXenophobia im a woman of my word all day everyday.

Xenophobia is just an excuse for a brother of your own color to bash at another to they are lazy.stop Xenophobia we are all humans.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you Ms Ramara the truth is foreign nationals are hardworkers who really know the definition of 'hustle' while us South Africans just want to sit and wait for the Government to hand us things on a silver platter.

ReplyDeleteIt is sad how these attacks have left people not only heartbroken because of losing their loved whom some of them are the providers to the families. Some foreign people were displaced.

DeleteIt is true that we all brothers and sisters from Africa, there is no need for us to turn against each, because we develop each others confidence by exchanging ideas and skills.
ReplyDeleteSuper agreed Tshepo if only people saw it like the way we do life would have been so much better
