We’re An Angry Nation’ — SA Defence Minister Opens Up On Xenophobia by Ilal: 4:12pm On Sep 09, 2019
South Africa’s minister of defence, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, has said the xenophobic attacks on foreigners in the country cannot be stopped.

The minister said South Africa is “an angry nation” and the attacks of foreigners in the country are orchestrated by criminal elements.

In an interview with eNCA, a South African media outfit, Mapisa-Nqakula described what is happening as an attempt by criminals to take advantage of the country’s current challenges.

She said:

“People are saying it is xenophobic attacks (but) it is not the first time we have had them in the past. Here, we have criminals that have read the situation and are aware that we have challenges right now.

“We have talked on the issues of high rate of unemployment, of some foreign nationals who are not conducting themselves in an appropriate manner as we would expect, those breaking the bylaws of the country, and you now have criminal elements who have decided that we are going to use all of those things to find reasons to attack people. It is unfortunate and should not happen.

“The reality is that we need to have a serious dialogue about what is happening, we must take responsibility. The reality is that we are an angry nation and we must talk about it.

“Why are we an angry nation? Why are we so determined to collapse our project of nation building and social cohesion? We need to hold hands together between government and all state entities and the civil society and find solutions to what is happening.”

“People are saying some heads of state decided not to attend WEF; we should be talking about why this whole thing is coinciding with the World Economic Forum,” Mapisa-Nqakula said.

“We should talk about this which clearly is well orchestrated by criminal elements. Nothing political whatsoever.”

The case of South Africa is quite a unique one and one that must be understudied for sake of understanding the theory of 'collective low self esteem and awareness'. Until now, I did not understand the supposition that an entire nation can be caught up in ignorance and esteem.

We underestimated the impact of apartheid on their people.

Criminals or not they are all South africans, their government has to tame them down before every country start retaliating and it won't be funny.

Most South africans need mental evaluation, they have low self-esteem and act like uncivilized people.

Average South Africans are bitter souls even when they drive Range River and Mercedes Benz , they will still look down on people from another country who drive Camry

This people are taking advantage of us not having a president to play with The Giant of Africa!

Also I’m thinking it’s old and unexposed people that controls the presidential media group!

I don’t think any of this news gets to anybody at all in the Aso rock. And mostly they don’t watch news casters on their TVs but Nat Geo Wild

Slow and steady the bare truth is being unveiled. SA is a blood sucking nation, who's not only jealous of immigrants successes across board but also suffering from inferiority complex.

For years, I knew Nigeria is a virus with a vaccine that spreads and infects other nations not knowing that South Africa is an apocalypse and a disaster to other black African countries. Nigerian leaders rip their citizens while South African leaders rip both the citizens and forigeners.. cool
