You want to chase Nigerian drug lords away, to be replaced by South African Cartels?
I'm very sure we have drug lords who are South African, for sure. Are they the ones sponsoring you guys?
You say it's the Nigerians running the prostitution rings in your country? OK, its Nigerians that are responsible for the HIV epidermic in SA?, they're also responsible for the way you guys see unprotected sex as no biggie abi?
They're also responsible for how corrupt your police are who would let known drug lords walk about freely, without doing nothing?
You all need to go back to the drawing board and find out why your youths have lost all value Mr. Its not foreigners that are your problems o.
A lot of developed countries would collapse without foreigners in them btw. Of course we will always have the bad eggs amongst both foreigners and even locals. Thats just natural. Everybody cannot be good, but we shouldn't because of bad people take the law into our hands and start killing, and also STEALING from shops.
Don't be surprised that's the main reason for the attacks, and not any social justice ish.

We don't have South Africa drug cartel that does not have foreign influence. South Africans are in actual fact not in drugs business.

Why would the world see South Africans as being xenophobic. I don't think there is anywhere in the world were foreigners are at ease with commiting crimes like it is in South Africa. We see Nigerians every bloody morning selling drugs to school children and are owning brothels everywhere trafficking women all over South Africa.

Amid all these, South Africans are expected to just fold their arms and watch as what was once their respectful country being turned into garbage bin by foreign drug lords who are flying the Nigerian flag sky high rampaging the lives of youth of South Africa. Poor South Africans with irresponsible government that is usually failing them are always supposed to be at the receiving end of all these heinous crimes. Young boys are being given drugs and ultimately commit more serious crimes like murder and rape. Those are the news that usually wake us up in the morning and such crimes have now elevated SA as a crime capital of the world. South Africans are merely doing operation clean up and there is nothing xenophobic about it. We personally wouldn't have a problem with a foreigner that is law abiding. Some of these hooligans are pastors by the day and at night they are peddling drugs.

Please understand our position clearly. For the purpose or record and avoidance of doubt, we are not supporting crime and will never support any criminal be they Nigerian or South Africans. However, we feel strongly about the way the locals are attacking Nigerians in the name of fighting drug pushers? Does your law support moab action against suspect that has not been proven guilty against an offence by a court of competent jurisdiction? ARE MOABS NOW SUPPOSE TO ASSUME THE WORK OF POLICE?
Just imagine if some South Africans in Nigeria were accused by people on the street and the next thing, Area Boys stormed their residence or shops unleash terror on them, kill some and burn their properties, how would you feel? Why will South African government allow touts to attack Nigerians, what is the work of police? In the process of trying to attack the guilty you end up killing many innocents? Is that a civilised approach to fight crime. You certainly have a long way to go. History have a funny way of repeating itself. You guy will soon get your fingers burnt again, it will be worse than apartheid, let me see the African country you will run for refuge.

NOBODY WAS KILLED SO FAR.

Yes we believe in the principle of presumption of innocence until proven guilty by the court of justice. However, these thugs are taking advantage of South Africa being so democratic and I think the time has come that South Africa must adopt laws of other countries such as China in dealing with crime. We must now introduce death penalty against drug traffickers as well as introducing warrantless searches. All of those tough practices will help to curb the high rise of drugs in our country as many will be perishing under the wrath of that law.

Even under apartheid only few left the country and those were the ones the government kicked out because they saw them as threat to apartheid government. Otherwise, no matter how bad the apartheid government was they wouldn't take away our citizenship unnecessarily. Our people who were banned by apartheid never went to destroy other countries by peddling drugs, instead they went and become law abiding immigrants who were even isolated from the citizens of their host countries.
