 michellezm says: "In horrific attacks, mainly around Johannesburg, women have been raped and men beaten to death. Shops and homes have been looted and dozens of shacks burned to the ground." very disturbing images  how awful.....how did this all start...I mean attacking foreigners out of the blue.... No, Deepti, it's been building up for years. Ever since the "new" government came into power they have been very liberal with their immigration policies. We have had millions of foreign blacks pouring over our borders from Somalia, Ethiopia, the Congo, Malawi, Mocambique, Angola and now Zimbabwe. We have three million Zimbabwean refugees alone in our country. We have a very high unemployment rate (52% in my province alone) and we have NO social welfare system. So, if you're unemployed, that's it, you starve or steal. What makes me extremely jittery is that this is the poor fighting the poor. They could easily turn on the wealthy and that would mean the minority white and Asian popul... PS/ It's the Nigerians in South Africa who now control the drug and prostitution rackets and our local black population are fed up with crime as well which they are attributing to foreigners. Add to all that the residue of bitterness and hatred for hundreds of years of white oppression, spiraling food costs, endless interest rate hikes, ever increasing petrol costs, a corrupt government bleeding from every orifice, power shortages for the next five years because of mismanagement, a proposed 53% increase in electricity, disinvestment because of power outages, increasing unemployment, crime out of control, a corrupt police force and a president who 'picks his nose' while the country begins to burn. Please bear in mind Thabo Mbeki has yet to utter one word of censure to Robert Mugabe, a man who kicked every white farmer off their land and in doing so destroyed his own country. Maybe I'm an alarmist, but I think I'm a realist. Well explained Michellezm. I must remember your heritage next time we play rugby, hehe. thanks for the explanation Michelle - I haven't completely understood what has been going on... Thanks for the explanation Michelle....I really hope things settle down soon.... things sound scary back there.....take care |
