The stupidd Nigerian, the word "rural" has already exposed you.

Rural settlement can only be a farm or village. Is it a village? No. It exist in a privately owned land meant for farming.

Farms in SA have own shops and homesteads. Visit any farm in SA and all these you will see. Why can't you believe because I live in SA? I know that in Nigeria farms are something else from what you can describe as a farm in SA. All farms in SA have a main gate and right for admission is reserved.

You disgrace Zulu each time you open your mouth. You aren't a worthy advocate of Zulu-dom.

So "rural" means farm ? zilizaliky, you are pathetic.

mzilakazi:
Wrong (X) it is always Nigerians who are always obsessed with South Africa because every time I google the word " South Africa" nairaland appears.

i just typed south Africa on the Google search field and all the results were Government sites, Tourism, Investment, CIA world fact book etc.

no where was Nigeria mentioned. so tell us what exactly did you ask Google to get here. lol

Patchesagain:
That is an answer.

You claim there are these magical "white skinned blond haired" Nigerians.

Show them to me.

still going about in circles of desperate dance in an attempt to unrope yourself.

nigerians say it is a fair skinned nigerian pilot.
you CLAIMED he has BLOND HAIR.

you are asked to show prove your claim and you are asking us to help you answer your own poser.lol

desperation + confusion =patchesagain

Patchesagain:
Dont have to.

On a balance of probabilities and within reason he is white.

Show us a picture of this light skinned Nigerian pilot

THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER.

you failed as you cant prove anything..

Patchesagain:
Waiting for your citation.

Done twice.

#XENOPHOBICSA

Patchesagain:
No, you cited nothing.

Still waiting.

waiting for what?

another opportunity to deny facts and profer your moronic excuses? source has been dropped twice already go figure.

#XENOPHOBICSA

Patchesagain:
No photo's were taken of his face - which makes sense as the mercenaries are trying to keep a low profile.

Millions of Nigerians have blond hair and white skin?

IF THAT'S THE ONLY PROOF YOU HAVE THEN YOU HAVE WASTED SPACE AND TIME .look for another line.

#XENOPHOBICSA

Patchesagain:
So you say that Mozambique closed its borders because of a post on Facebook?

lol, into the trash you go.

I cited the BBC .

Same old patches who cant accept truth even if it were shoved down your throat.

MikeCZAR:
SA supplies Mozambique with electricity and a lot of things. They're the younger brother.

MPLA is a huge ANC ally, their armed forces chief of stuff is always visits SA.

SADC is united.

not anymore. with this recurring xenophobic attacks the peoples of zambia,zimbabwe, malawi, somalia and mozambique etc have mutual dislike for zulu and co while the governments will always make political subterfuge . but the minds of the people are certain: we are not welcome in southafrica. our only crime is being a foreigner.

#XENOPHOBICSA

mzilakazi:
So, are the Fulani-Kanuri people not barbaric in the name of BH? They are evidently more barbaric than South Africans.

And the anglo-dutch is fleeing zulu kingdom and setting up shops in north east boko haram strong hold..

mzilakazi:
SA was once under sanctions for almost 30 years and its people never died.

That's crazily irrelevant.

but then the black population was content up the trees and the anglo-dutch could manage with little unofficial support from great britain and co.

#XENOPHOBICSA

MikeCZAR:
Mozambique is the young brother, they call SA for help and assistance during flood seasons.

We can set their country ablaze.

Not too young to render you help in electricity and gas.

be careful and watch your tactless uterances; Angola is listening and watching

you dont want to be besieged again now, do you ?

#XENOPHOBICSA

MikeCZAR:
There's nothing you can do.


BH is result of what now?

Yes, our neighbours should stop their people flooding into SA.

you must be the zulu king's son.

if you asking them to leave, why kill and rob them?

besides they are engaged in business you obviously lack competence in.

#XENOPHOBICSA

MikeCZAR:
Youth group=/=government.

Nigerians eat monk..eys, dogs and humans are they half humans? NO.

you can say that again if it helps your

self-delusion.

how do we change a xenophobic population ?

since you cant vote them out like a government.

when will southafrica stop the lies,blame and self deceit and ask for help from its neighbours and nigeria?

this is the violence that the afrikaans gave as an excuse for apartheid .

when will southafrica tell itself the truth?

a toddler trying to teach a grown man how to walk is exactly what SA is in africa.

mzilakazi:
We have been supplying Mozambique with food and electricity for many years. It is only now we are temporarily importing electricity from them to augment our grid in the off peak hours. Anyway that would not be a problem because at the end of the day they would come back crawling calling for our help again.

lol personal wishes and propaganda. mozambique calls the shots now, better watch your mouth before they throw you back into the last century..

MikeCZAR:
You'll be shooting yourselves in the foot.

if nigeria closes shoprite, dstv, mtn south africa will have to re-negotiate electrocity and gas from mozambique like ukraine does russia.

your xenophobic attack is a reflection of mass unemployment, illiteracy, incompetence, uncouth-ness, savagery,blame-trading, a total display of inability to take responsibility.

when will southafrica stop making excuses and ask for help from its neighbours?

MikeCZAR:
The border with Mozambique is opened, only workers at some company protested. The gov didn't do anything.

People not governments.

Nigeria is a huge nuisance a terrorist harbour.

here's mozambique's threat to you[b]:

A Mozambican youth group has posted this suggestion on its Facebook page: "In view of the xenophobic disgrace coming from South Africa, the Youth Parliament advocates that electricity and gas supplies to South Africa be suspended until [South Africa's President] Jacob Zuma comes to Mozambique to redeem himself."[/b]

MikeCZAR:
Even without an active foreign policy South Africa is a powerful country and needed on the continent.

You wouldn't wanna push and make it hostile to you. Don't poke a hornet's nest cause you think you might ran away.

SADC wouldn't support that excluding Malawi.

Other regional blocks aren't united and are weak.

This is basically the same ignorance shown by the xenophobic attackers.

Mozambique has closed their land bother with southafrica as we speak, turning all SA registered vehicles back.

Malawi has ask for all SA shops and companies to be boycotted as have Zambia and Zimbabwe; the former has its biggest radio blacklist all south african songs.

Nigeria was just a few members shy of re-calling her ambassador with some MPs calling for a diplomatic severance with SA..

under apartheid rule South africa was the pariah to the region.

And now under black rule south africa is still a modern nuisance with a CULTURE of xenophobic attacks.

whatever little influence the country has in that region is melting away like candle wax ..

EVarn:
First of all,there is no such thing as foreign policy.
Second,West africa is the most united and prosperous African region that boasts countries like Nigeria,Ghana,Senegal and Cape verdes.
Thirdly,No matter how militarily strong you believe yourself to be,you cannot fight a continent,lol,how many fighter jets do you have?,my man,Uganda has more than that.
Lastly,SADC will support sanctions on SA if killings of their citizens continue for too long.

Chief Evarn, how's it going? my twin pointed you out to me earlier. i had used his moniker here last year ..

osystein:
The problem with south Africa is that it has first world laws for a third world population, if you could fire live ammunition like in marikana, the whole thing would end.

Rubber bullets and tear gas won't do anything, they'll just come back the next day.

they like to pretend they are first world country when they will easily pass for an example of a third world country.

i was laughing with amazement when i heard the xenophobic crowd asking what did africa do for them during apartheid.

this level of ignorance is what marks and sets that country apart from others. it is evident in their institutions and military.

mzilakazi:
Lez it was wrong to assault and kill them but the truth is that SA has a large number of foreigners including those who are doing business in SA.

Still not an excuse. this is a 3 day xenophobic attack going on. It is the hight of savagery.

Not atime had i remember a collective voice of several countries against one country.

What does Agaugust say about Mandela now?

South Africa’s townships - a magnet for entrepreneurs
By Mohammed Allie
BBC Africa, Cape Town
1 May 2014
From the section Africa

Despite their poor clientele, South Africa's spaza shop owners are able to make a living
South Africa has been a magnet for immigration in recent years, with many of those coming to Africa's second-largest economy to set up small family businesses in bustling townships.
But their business acumen has not always been welcomed at first by local people, as Kharul Islam, a slightly built Bangladeshi in his mid-20s, can affirm.
He runs a small grocery shop, known in South Africa as a spaza, in the crime-ridden area of Delft, about 30km (19 miles) east of Cape Town.
With its red painted exterior, the Comic Grocer is easy to spot from a distance; look closer and you notice the bullet-proof glass and the metal mesh guards
"I've had to put in bullet-proof glass to protect me. When I first came people threatened to kill me," he says.
It was local criminals who tried to intimidate him when he moved in three years ago.
Last year alone, the area recorded 113 murders, 129 cases of attempted murder and nearly 1,500 cases of violent crime in 2013, according to police statistics.
"But now that they know me it's better and safer," he says.
His customers come in to buy single items like a roll of toilet paper, sugar, milk or bread, but it is clear that the Bangladeshi, who has a Tanzanian and Zimbabwean to assist him, has developed a good relationship with them.
Trading skills
Operating in an economically depressed area like Delft, with a 43% rate of unemployment, the foreign shop owners have adapted their products to meet the needs of their customers.
Like many foreign traders, Mr Islam sells small quantities of essentials like tea, coffee, sugar and flour.

Like at other spaza shops, many of Altaafur Rhaman's customers buy just a single item
"People don't have money to buy the pre-packed quantities provided by the suppliers so I make it easier and more affordable for them. I give them what they need."
Following the advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994, it was initially Somalis, fleeing their country's civil strife, who made inroads into the townships.
Using their renowned trading skills, they established themselves in the spaza market, often to the displeasure of local traders who saw their share of this business sector cut back.
The past five years has seen a new wave of traders from mainly Bangladesh - and to a lesser extent countries like Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia - trying to squeeze into what has become an increasingly competitive market.
The Spaza News industry newsletter says South Africa's spaza sector comprises more than 100,000 enterprises with a collective annual turnover of 7bn rand (about $663m; £395m).
Eight urban sites studied between 2010 and 2013 showed that nearly 50% of spaza shops were operated by foreign entrepreneurs, according to researchers at the University of Western Cape's Political Science Department and the non-profit organisation Sustainable Livelihoods Foundation.
'Opportunities for locals'
Most of the foreigners work a punishing 16-hour day, seven days a week, and most have a mattress and washing facilities in a modestly furnished room attached to the shop.

Protests about the lack of basic amenities in townships are fairly common in South Africa
Not surprisingly, local shop owners have complained about the influx of foreign competitors who they say have impacted on their trade.
Evelyn Domingo, who runs her spaza shop not far from Mr Islam's, says her business has suffered over the past two years.
"I'm not happy; business has been slow since the foreigners started opening up. They are able to keep their prices down because they group together which enables them to buy at lower prices," she says.
"It's only the lotto [national lottery] tickets that attract people to my shop because it's only me and the post office down the road that sells the tickets."
Ms Domingo, whose husband was killed in a robbery two years ago, says the government promised to do something to help lo

Will current xenophobia is SA, let us remember the other notorious xenophobic event of the past.

LOME, Togo, Feb. 1— Tens of thousands of hungry and impoverished people who have been expelled from Nigeria hurried today along the seaside road that leads to the frontier with ghana at the edge of this normally quiet West African capital. The refugees, expelled for economic and political reasons by Nigeria, passed through Lome in taxis, cattle trucks and on foot, most of them men in their 20's, many of them carrying a single suitcase as they walked along the Atlantic coastal road. Some two million unskilled foreign workers living illegally in Nigeria were ordered to start leaving by Monday. At least half of them were Ghanaians, and others were from Mali, Chad, Niger, Upper Volta, Benin and Togo. Under international and African pressure, President Shehu Shagari of Nigeria extended the expulsion deadline for skilled foreigners, mostly schoolteachers, until March 1. President Shagari announced the expulsions Jan. 17, saying the foreigners were the cause of economic problems and religious and racial unrest. 16 Reported to Have Died In Lagos, the Nigerian capital, at least 16 people were reported to have died as a result of the forced exit. Six people drowned in the Lagos harbor Monday night trying to climb aboard overcrowded ships leaving for Accra, ghana 's capital. Ten refugees were said to have starved to death. At the frontier, Togolese guards let the refugees pass by the thousands without a check. A hundred yards away, by a concrete arch with the words ''Welcome to ghana '' in large letters, Ghanaian border guards appeared to be making only cursory inspections of the refugees as they entered. As one truck carrying perhaps 50 refugees crossed the border, the Ghanaians cheered -but not loudly, more in relief than joy. A boy waved a small Ghanaian flag from the back of the truck. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/02/02/world/by-land-and-sea-they-stream-from-nigeria.htm

And there was nothing xenophobic in your long narration.

the government asking illegal immigrants to leave the country is till being done all over the world today by several law enforcements.

This is a sharp contrast to where citizens turn on foreingers who have shops, car-dealing business, restaurants etc and start killing and robbing them blind.

Is that why you hate them so much?

I see you have been battered and beaten so bad, you have descended to parental insults
