How do you feel about xenophobia??

i wish it was as easy as just explaining to them about this situation. It has gotten out of hand and it's spreading across the country. My take on this obviously is that they are no reasoning at all, they are venting their frustrations yes but have they considered trying to find solutions to their problems before killing innocent lives???? Take the job issue for instance ... Some foreigners are very much business minded and they come to SA and create more jobs for everyone who needs one, some come to SA and they appreciate anything to help them make some kind of living and they are even willing to do jobs that some South Africans do not want to do - garage/fuel station attendants, car parking attendance, road cleaners, and flee marketers. If only they can realize that killing and chasing these poor souls out of our country is not the solution to their petty problems!!!

Hi there, I'm sorry i have been offline for the past 3 days! Thank you for your comment. It is a sad thing that South Africa is going through right now. I so much believe that we are past the "black and white" issues and that we are civil and good to each other despite the pigments of our skins and now xenophobia kicks in. These people are our brothers and sisters and we are treating them like animals! Why????

Yes, a lot of South Africans have something to be angry and frustrated about. Yes, there is lack of employment, lack of good housing and the inflation rate is not helping the situation. People are frustrated and they are venting their frustrations, but to who and how is the question. Foreigners have not taken jobs from no one, they have not taken anyone's house, they are just here to struggle with us and earn a living one way or another.
