Over the past years, Africans and indeed the world has been shocked at the behavior
of Black South-Africans towards their Black African brothers.
The heartless killing, maiming, looting, and hating of other Africans, which
Black South-Africans have made a monthly reoccurrence, leaves many of Africa's
people disappointed and disgusted.
Why kill your brother who is also a victim of colonial agendas bad
leadership, when you can stand with them and confront your complaints and grievances
together? But no. South-Africans are so scared to face the demon in the room -
white supremacists.
The attacks which have been a monthly to yearly reoccurrence has always had
Nigerians as the major victims. The locals claim that Nigerians take their
jobs, commit crimes, and marry their women, among many other excuses for the
continuous violence.
In this new wake of attacks, social media has been filled with gory and
very embarrassing images of South-African men and women breaking and looting the
shops and stores of foreigners. Many of the stores were set on fire. The Black
South African protesters were seen marching and rioting in Johannesburg's
Central Business District (CBD), among other locations, and they were demanding
for foreigners to leave their country.
Many Nigerians and other Africans have been killed in these attacks. We
can't place a figure on the dead foreigners, as reports are still trickling
into media houses. But pictures and video recordings on social media show that
the case of South-Africa's xenophobic tendencies grows deeper and wider every
day.
A very painful video of an African been burnt alive was seen circulating on
Facebook these past days. And while he burned, South-African policemen were
seen laughing and smiling about it. What barbarity towards your fellow Black
man!!!
News24, a South African news Agency, gave a full and detailed report of the
riots here.
The reactions against this disgraceful xenophobic behavior have been pouring
in from various parts of Africa. Nigerians have taken to social media to
express their displeasure at the behavior of South-Africans, and the loss of
life and property of its citizens attributed to jealousy on the part of many
South-Africans who they consider lazy. Many Nigerians have threatened to
retaliate and burn down South-African businesses in Nigeria, such as MTN and DStv.
These reports fully capture the reaction of the South-African
president and the Nigerian president, whom Nigerians feel is not doing enough
to bring South-Africa to its knees to apologize.
When all of this dust settles, the truth that keeps staring us Africans in
the face is that we are have been divided so much that we are at the brink of
tearing ourselves into pieces. We are at the brink of social, political, and economic
war, while the real enemy who caused all of this, is sitting down and having a
huge laugh.
The truth that South-Africans have refused to swallow, is that they are
actually, the only African nation that is still under direct rule by
white-supremacists and are still first-class slaves in their own lands.
The anger of the average South-African, should not be towards other Black
Africans but towards the European and American foreigners who have taken
control of their economy, stolen their lands and resources, and are still bent
on ruling and dominating them.
If anyone should feel the anger and frustration of South-Africans, then it is the Caucasians who have continued to lay claim to the land and ancestral properties
of Black South-Africans.
The implications of these looting, stealing, and burnings as we have seen is
that creates a new culture for South-Africans. It teaches both their young and
their old, that killings and maiming is the option they have in airing their grievances
against foreigners. We see young fathers, mothers, teenagers, and young boys
join in these raids, and just wonder what the future holds for South-Africa.
Yes, if they continue with this behavior, many of the African foreigners
will leave. But in the long run, South-Africa will suffer economically. But
worst still is the stigma that will follow any South-African wherever they
travel in Africa. This stigma will make sure they are not given jobs and opportunities.
This stigma will alienate them from the commonwealth of Africa, and in the long
run, they will stand alone when facing the vampires, they co-habit with.
We at Liberty Writers Africa feel very much disgusted with the behavior of
South-Africans these past days, and we strongly hope that they come to their
senses. Africa is under neo-colonial attacks from all fronts, and it is only y standing
together that we can save our continent. The unemployment you suffer is as a
result of bad policies and hundreds of years the Colonialists have stolen your
collective rights. Unemployment in South-Africa is not because a Nigerian or
Zimbabwean has a business that is thriving in your country.
We have seen and heard Julius Malema preaching and agitating for a
borderless Africa, with one currency and one language. Is this the kind of
behavior with which Africa will achieve that goal? We think not.
Africa's disappointment in the behavior of South-Africans is clearly seen
in the withdrawal of Rwanda, DRC, and Malawi from the World Economic Forum that
is scheduled to be held in Cape Town, South-Africa in the coming weeks. Also,
Zambia has canceled its proposed football friendly match with the Bafana
Bafana of South-Africa.
We are sure that the days and weeks that follow, will see other
organizations and bodies of Africa and the world, come out to express their
disappointment in South-Africans.
If you are an African living and doing business in South-Africa, we advise
you to put your belonging and family together, make adequate arrangements, and
go back to your country. Or better still move to more friendly and hospitable
African nations.
Africans worldwide have taken to twitter to
express their disappointments about the xenophobic nature of South-Africans,
and below we have some strong reactions that fully express our disgust and
anger at Liberty Writers Africa.
