ROSSIKE:
Please spare me this rubbish. The Nigerians in SA were not driven there by poverty. They are business people with money to invest. Are the thousands of Chinese and Indians there too because their govts "failed them"? Nonsense.

What you have stated here is complete nonsense and must be rejected in the strongest possible terms. You are sitting there typing and posting stuff without proper having done any research of any kind about the matter. You post for the sake of posting. I am a SAn I know
what's happening here first hand.

You can't lie and say most Nigerians came here with money to start businesses. That's nonsense. In the first
place why didn't they start those same businesses there?

You don't know what you are talking about. If you had any clue about what is going on in Hillbrow Jhb, Sunnyside Pta, Point Road Dbn and many other cities
and major towns you were gonna think again and
reconsider the nonsense you posted earlier.

The majority of foreigners are here illegally and with no clue at all why they are here.....only having been told SA
has better opportunities than their home
countries....and when things get tough they almost
always end up doing all the wrong things you can
imagine. It's just not acceptable that there are some
parts of cities SAns can no longer set their foot on
because of the feared, crime doing foreigners. It's a
fact....I wouldn't dare wish for my 13 year old daughter
to walk through Hillbrow, Sunnyside, Point Road etc. I
live in Nelspruit....Andrew Street in the city is a known
brothel area where local girls are hooked into drugs and
prostitution by their Nigerian masters. There's even a
joint called ka-Nigerian which specialises in sleaze
activities in town. It can't be right. No ways.

Whilst there may be a few good foreigners here, but most have ruined the reputationaof foreigners....this is not limited to Nigerians only but most of them....especially the African ones...its the truth.

Still though, I am 100% against attacks on foreigners here....but let's rather deal with the thorny issues because they are there and see how best we can make things work.

The topic itself is a lie.

The president was even addressing displaced foreigners in Chatsworth on Saturday. Why is that not front page news?

The government is dealing with the matter quite efficiently so. Your citizens are well guarded and protected, looked after in the camps where they are. Again, why is this also not front page news?

Lies and sensationalism will raise tempers unnecessarily.

On Monday there a rally will take place in the Durban CBD, Moses Mabhida stadium - called by King Goodwill Zwelithini and the political leadership of the province to address both foreigners and locals on this matter.

Some of you are sitting up there in Nigeria spreading lies instead of properly following the developments in order to make sound and properly informed commends.

this people would not stop, their govt is acting deaf and dumb to what is happening to black african immigrants. The only solution is to black list south africa... that's all! This people believe that other african countries don't contribute to their economy, so the SA government would not stop them.

The other day I was in Ladysmith a town in KZN province....I needed a barbershop so I could get a haircut...when I got to one - it were foreigners busu cutting peoples hair and I was silently talking to mysrlf ....are there not people in their own countries who need haircuts?

You come all the way here to cut people's hair and hope to make it big and call yourself a businessperson in a foreign land? No man.

Things won't add up e.g. the guy must pay rent for the shop, pay rent in a flat or wherever they are accommodated, maintain themselves, send money back home etc.....all this from cutting people's hair in a foreign country? This can be easily done in ones' country of birth probably with better profit margins.

I'm a Nigerian and I live in Nigeria, and it's also a known fact that there are lots of illegal Nigerian migrants there who are involved in criminal activities (infact, there's a nollywood movie about dat in d early 2000s or so) and I don't support that, but your govt could still be blamed for dis. There are Nigerians in the US, why isn't their riminal rate as high as those in SA? The answer is simple; there is a better policing system over there. Another fact is when a country is considered successful it is natural for it to attract citizens of other countries, especially citizens from neighbouring countries.Because of this fact, there is also bound to be high influx of illegal immigrants too, who are in search of greener pastures. The US suffers this from Mexico. The best way to tackle both illegal immigration and crime within the country (whether by foreigners or immigrants) is to strengthen your security bodies. You will agree with me that these crimes we are talking about, some S/africans are also involved in them. Infact, common sense will show that the illegal immigrants must need at least intelligence support from locals who are most likely S/A citizens.

There is truth in what you are saying. But what I won't stand for is for some ignorant person somewhere in Akwa Ibom coming to the internet and post a lot of unresearched garbage.

It is completely wrong to attack and burn foreigners, the government has condemned this, a march against the attacks was held last week....and just tomorrow there is a massive rally to be held in the Durban CBD where the King implicated as an instigator will clarify his stand and so will do the politicians. This has all been wrong.

However, if you are here you will begin to see better how things are. There are people here from far away peaceful countries who do not have any idea or clue why are they here in the first place. Man, its crazy. Everybody is here. South Africa is struggling to properly servuce her own citizens ....now that we have everybody here government departments can hardly cope e.g. health and housing departments...the demands are just too high. Everybody is here....Somalis, Ethiopians, Malawians, Zimbabweans, Congolese, Zambians, Mozambicans, Basotho, Swazis, Cameroonians, Nigerians, Ghanains, Pakistanis, Chinese, etc....you name it, everybody is here. The country is not that resourced to satisfy everybody's aspirations. Those that came here with no clue as to why they must migrate here...get trapped in these miserable conditions and end up getting up to no good.

Having said all this its still a very bad thing to attack and burn people...its grossly inhumane and very demonic.

Rather discussions should be held that those foreigners just roaming aimlessly and loiterring around here, doing nothing sensible, be sent back to their countries.

Few years back the government used to bus a lot of Mozambicans back home every month. That's the way to go.

It really isn't fair when foreigners come in, occupy every sector of a country's resources and cause hardship for its natural and biological citizens. Your govt really needs to review its criteria for granting SA visas (possibly make it more stringent to reduce immigrants) and also block all illegal borders. With what you just explained it is already a pressing issue. I think they should focus on it

True my brother government should seriously jerk up policies. If I were to migrate to Nigeria there should be
clear and valid reasons as to why.

2008 should have been a serious wake up call to everybody.

Disparagingly,the term "Foreigner" usually refers to African non-nationals.People from the Americas and Europe are referred to as "expats" or "tourists".


Annoyingly,a Zimbabwean can run a shop in a township,get raided and beaten up,while a white immigrant in town continues to run a restaurant full of patrons.

Despicable angry angry


There are over 2 million legally owened firearms in south African civilians hands. More than every armerd government employee. Most are owned by white people. A African living in SA Is a easy target since they isolated and unarmed.
