Why not disband all your incompetent cops and let the bloodthirsty locals carry
out acts of savagery and jungle justice?

SMH.

chiommy123:
Mr high commissioner doesn't have time to investigate anything he just swallows everything the SA police told him hook line and sinker God is watching una so almost every Nigeria in south Africa is a criminal excluding the high commissioner abi?

Inistic:
Just thought it wise to tap this in.
You would agree with the fact that businesses often move from one city to another, state to state and also countries as part of their growth strategies. Often times issues arise in these locations and in most cases not because of the operations of these businesses but maybe because of social or governmental policies. A good number of times, we as a people take laws into our hands and then expect good to come to us yet I also feel it is right for organisations to come out publicly to denounce any act that seems to be jeopardizing their reputation.
As one that is well traveled, what are your thoughts on the demand for South Africa brands to leave the country? Has Shoprite done right to disassociate itself and condemn the xenophobic act? Is there more to what we know as to why only Nigerians are being attacked.

funmisticqueen:
You are welcome, if this how south Africans think, a lot of things now make sense.

limpopo:
I know this is not the right place but I just want to ask you this question coz you are from South Africa.

This song by Brenda Fassie - MPUNDULU.. I love that song like my food even though I don't know the meaning...

Please can you tell me the meaning of that song... I would really appreciate this...

pokuasi:

shut up with this your baby damage control nonsense.
Do you think Nigerians are stupid and not seeing what's going on.
A very Respected woman was in your country for a conference and you human savages hacked her to death for no reason
instead of your Moronic minister to firstly acknowledge and apologize for those avoidable incidents, she's here creating the distorted impression that SOUTH AFRICAN LIVES AND PROPERTIES IN NIGERIA MATTER MOST to her.
Her action could be likened to denial
of HOLOCAUST.

Lamasta:
So they can be quick to respond like this and when Nigerians are being killed in South Africa there will be no statement from the country office I don't even blame the xenophobic country I blame our leaders here who don't value the lives of its citizenry as far as it does not affect there wards or family then they don't care.

Point 1. You were not living in peace and harmony with any African immigrants. You always had issues with foreigners particularly from southern Africa who competed with you in the mines and other sectors pre 1994 so stop trying to paint yourself as innocents.

Before 1994, 100% peace prevailed between local and immigrants who lived side by side in our townships. This particular group of migrants were employed in the factories and white homes. They were married to their country women or locals. I was born and bred and attended school with children of migrants here in Gauteng, the industrial and mining heartland of our country. You are correct about conflict on the mines. From time to time, there would be fights among the SA miners ( representatives of one tribe against another). There were also fights between any of the SA miners comprising one of the tribes and miners from any of the neighbouring countries. According to the trade unions, the fights were caused by the divide and rule policies of the Chamber of Mines and its members. They lived in men's hostels and were all from rural areas and fought over women and petty stuff.

Point 2. Things started to change post 1994 when the economy was handed over to the new government and a major shift occurred in which transformation of the economy did not take place as rapidly as possible and unskilled and under skilled workers began to compete with their foreign African counterparts. The inflow of economic migrants increased and thus the pressure and negative social perceptions of foreigners in general began to fester in the minds of black South Africans.

I think that you are correct about the role played by the torrential influx of thousands of mainly Zimbabwean economic and politcal refugees in the early 2000s. Couple that with our stagnant economy and shrinking jobs market as well as the employers' preference for vulnerable undocumented and non unionised workers, etc....and the bomb was ready to explode.

Point 3. The Nigerians constitute a segment of this burgeoning economic immigrant class of which some specialized in certain types of illicit and illegal activity which was never foreign to your society in the first place. The gangs in the western cape always peddled drugs and were involved in prostitution rings as well. the 28, 27, dixies boys, Americans, mongrels e.t.c have existed in South Africa for a very long time. Your media simply looks for sensational stories to keep your minds occupied from the real powers.

I'm afraid Mduza is wrong to disagree with you when it comes to criminal gangs, prostitution and drugs among the coloureds in the Western Cape. In the rest of the country, prostitution and drugs were almost completely non existent. Then came the Nigerians with their trading expertise and experience. They turned these crimes which were mainly confined to a very small part of our country into a national criminal system, using churches and hair salons as cover and laundromats for their ill-gotten wealth. As if that was not enough, they introduced human trafficking, invitation to SA and abductions of foreign investors and even turned unsuspecting girls and young women into drug mules. One of the worst cases was how a certain group of so-called Nigerian pastors tricked a domestic worker and single mother into abandoning her job and children to go to Iraq and work in their brother's company. She was sentenced to death but God saved her.

Point 4. I will admit here that Nigerians do kill Nigerians in South Africa anyone that is oblivious of that fact is simply being disingenuous.

Let me add here that where possible, they prefer to employ someone else, preferably Zimbabweans who are said to be particularly ruthless.


Point 5. Why should anyone die in custody of the police, is that person's life worth less simply because he is a Nigerian. Did this person attack the police, even resisting arrest does not warrant excessive force that leads to death. If arrested and found wanting, deport with immediate effect back to his motherland and mark the person undesirable. These heinous acts are neglected because deep down inside it comes down to teaching these "others" a lesson and not in terms of true justice.

Yes. Death in police custody shouldn't happen. It's actually a crime. Unfortunately, it happens even to South Africans. That's why we have an independent structure called Independent Police Investigative Directorate to investigate crimes commited by the police.

Nobody is stopping you from cleaning up your streets, if you are going to do it. Do it well!

MduZA:
South africans have been living in peace and harmony with African immigrants particularly from neighboring countries but things started to change when our boarders were opened for our so called brothers from Nigeria,we started to witness some of the crimes which were foreign to us(drugs-dealings and human-trafficking),this criminal element went as far as establishing gangs amongst Nigerians themselves which are deadly fighting each other,unfortunately no Nigerian is willing to acknowledge this.We always hear of stories of Nigerians dying in the hands of south African police,when you dig deep down you will find that majority of those victims were criminals who die while trying to avoid arrests using all forms of fatal tricks.My point is Nigerians look yourselves in the mirror,surely you will find unwanted dots which require your own wiper ...or else the status quo will remain unchange unfortunately!

My name is Mduza,that's my personal opinion!

Chauke:

Chauke, whatever nationality - South African, Nigerian, Mozambican, Zimbabwean, you have no right to call another country a zoo. At least do please mention you're saying this in your name, not South Africans, especially not in the name of those of us who sacrificed our childhood and youth fighting for the freedom of our country from apartheid. For your information, most Nigerians who are here are students, specialists, business people and you won't find them throwing their weight and being arrogant all over the place or committing crime like the minority you seem to be exposed to. I studied, lived, worked and worshiped God with Nigerians in Nigeria, SA, Zambia, and Europe. I know what I'm talking about.





Nobody invited a nigerian infestation in South Africa,most of these Nigerians add no value to the overall development of South Africa except a very small number of them,the rest are escaping that backward zoo.

i know its hard for u to accept but if there are any other black race more brilliant than the igbos within nija or outside tell us

I will like to have a look at the question.

Clone2020:
Conspiracy theorists. How many famous philanthropists are Russians? Upon Russia has the 2nd highest number of billionaires in the world. Their own is to cause trouble here and there, invade countries and seize land mass with force and coercion. You hear of American billionaires giving away 99% of their entire wealth to charity or global initiatives like Bill & Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg, T Boone Pickens, George Soros, Walton family, Michael Bloomberg Etc. You will never hear about these greedy Russians doing anything to improve the world. They are still living in the cold war Era.

If not for the fact they have nuclear weapons in their arsenal, America would've obliterated them by now. They are cowards, hiding behind nukes because they know nobody wants an outright nuclear war that would end the world as we know it. In a conventional war without nukes, Russia will be crushed.
