Nice collection.

Back then, I used to shed tears whenever I watched the movie Saraphina. Now I feel different.

Thanks bro, that movie is powerful...

@ OP

I thank you for this flash backs on the day to day life during the Apatheid era.

It truly sheds light on the mindset of many South Africans which many Africans can't quite grasp yet. It further sheds light on the xenophobia and psychology of the country for both White, black, colored and indian peoples.

The gross similarities between the jim crow era in the United States is remarkable thus they peoples would share similar psychologies but probably in different stages as America has transcended many of its racial hurdles compared to South Africa

Uwc & thanks for the comment bro. Just a bit to remind them how they lived decades ago, how some African countries stood up for them, how some people help them and came to their rescue. They are now seeing these people as enemies, as threats in their homeland. It shouldn't be, we are humans not animal. We should value lives, properties, starting with us, we can make this world a better place for us all. No to Destruction/Killing, No to Racism, No to Xenophobia.

During my time in the US, African foreigners faced this same antagonism from both Whites and the African American populations. AA had a terribly negative perception of Africans because of what they had been taught about the continent and it really was a translation of self hate. Over time the prejudices dwindled as more AA intermingled with second generation Africans who exposed them to their native cultures, tied to the realities of the continent they were exposed to via unconventional media sources.

The US is an immigrant based country which makes it quite unique from other countries with African migrant populations so maybe you can't really compare the two.

Nigerians are funny die! Do you think South Africans need your pity or tears? They never even knew you existed let alone shedding tears. The tears were really for you and your family. And i think right now your country needs buckets as it stand right now. Cheap blackmail!

Hehe
