Apartheid was bad but at least there level of crime was low, there was no electricity powercuts and we didn't have so many illegal immigrants. We wouldn't have such problems now if we had a white president or Mandela was still the president. Our borders were opened and South Africans were not warned that the whole of Africa is coming this side. You must understand that many South Africans don't know anything about Africa. They don't even know where is Nigeria located or Ghana or Egypt. They actually don't give a damn about Africa. Ask any South African teenager about Africa you'll be horified. The government should have taught our people about Africa and Africans in general.

Yes I think that it was necessary for me to do that because some Morpheus said that the world cup must be taken away from us. South Africa earned this world cup. It was not given to us like Germany. We earned the right to host it through sheer hardwork. Just because some morons decide to beat up people the your some insane Nigerian thinks that the world cup must be taken away from us hell no!! Countries like America that wiped out Vietnamesse hosted the world cup in 94. Germany that wiped out more than a million Jews hosted the world cup in 1974 and 2006, did your people complain NO! Just because some Nigerian illegal immigrant was beatern up in Johannesburg you now think that the World Cup must be taken away from us. Its high time Nigerians realises that their voices don't hold water anywhere. There is this underlying jelousy about South Africa from Nigerians.

Always wanting South Africa to fail. HANDS OFF THE WORLD CUP

You can voice your anger in anyway you like about the attacks. You can insult us anyway you like, but hands off the 2010 wolrd cup. If want to see war then just try to temper with it. Sepp Blatter made it clear on Monday that the world cup is on full steam. I'm beggining to see an element of jelousy from Nigerians about the world cup. If Nigerians don't like the fact that 2010 is coming here then tough luck. If you say the world cup must be taken away from us then where should it go, to your country. Nigeria can't even host the AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS.

THERE WORLD CUP WILL GO ON. GET THAT INTO YOUR THICK SKULLS

Go to hell you jeolous, inferior, filthy, barbaric, saveges, bastards.

Celebrating triumph

Our relations with the world

We welcome Nigerians to the 2010 world cup with open arms!!!!!!1

Londoner is right, if our government does'nt act South Africa will have a civil war. Signs are already there. For instance the Sotho speaking group is found in SA and Lesotho, the Tswana group in SA and Botswana, the Shaangans in both SA and Mozambique and the Ndebele and the Zulus are also found in Zimbabwe. This means that we are attacking our brothers. Even now Ndebele South Africans are being attacked.

South African Indians who are approx; 4 Million have had a good relationship with black South Africans, but now guese what? they are now also being attacked by these raging lunatics. I'm saying that it should happen but I ask myself on why white people are not attacked. I'm telling you if white people where attacked, Britain and the USA would've been the first to condemn. Our government would've unleashed the army into the townships.

Now they're just saying oh! these are lowly litttle Africans, (Lets just send in a bunch of policemen with rubber bullets). This country used to be in the good hands of the white government and also Nelson Mandela. To tell the truth, our lives used to be so nice during the apartheid era. I was born in that era, and I'm telling you, we used to move freely, no crime to speak of. During the white government the influx of foreigners was controlled. Nigerians who were here, were the ones who came to work. For instance I can't just come to Nigeria without a purpose. I must come there to contribute to the economic growth of the country.

I think this is becoming more and more dangerous, when poeple are now generalizing about us. Just because a bunch of hooligans decided to kill foreigners, that does not mean South Africans are like that. Is only 10% of the country that is doing these things. Our government held a meeting with the Nigerian authorities to discuss these problems. The main concern was the safety of our soccer national team. South African Football association requested the government to make sure that they keep in touch with their Nigerian counterparts. Luckily the Nigerian gov has guaranteed our safety. We wouldn't like innocent people to be victimised because of some hooligans. Our football stars don't have to do anything about this as most of them even play in Europe. I still condemn what happend, but that does mean that we have to be victimised on the bases of being South African. The government has vowed that it will protect any South African citizen who is in an African country. Some people were already talking about declaring war on South Africa. Now that's dangerous route. To be pricise our army is unmatched in the continent.

The talks of boycoting MTN are nonsense, what does MTN have to do with xenophobic attacks. The company is sponsering the African Cup of Nation and the Champions league. Actually to be precise we owned the Ghana 2008. MTN even sponsers the Nigerian soccer league. So lets sanity prevail. The is not need for emotional outbursts. Most of these countries who are judging us are themselves been involved in even worst atrocities than these. Coutries like Nigeria ( where they were slaying each other on the basis of religion). How many people has the Americans killed? There is natural hatred for South Africa in this continent. That is why people are taking advantage of this situation. With the level of abuse that the likes of Bafana Bafana and our local clubs are receiving, from refferes and the authorities, the was even a proposed referrendum that maybe South Africa should pull out of CAF and join our good friends Australia in Asia. Let us not let emotions cloud our judgement.

We were communicating like adults until this lunatic( Xio****) came along. Lets get back to the real thing that we were talking about. Is the guy really Nigerian? I know Nigerians as reasonable people whom I have respect for, the likes of Mr Achebe and Mr Sonyika. Guys let's avoid such people, maybe nairaland should introduce a forum for teenagers where Xiam**** will trade insults with the people her size!!!!

Guys let us not discriminate. Mentally sick people should also be allowed to take part in our discussions. I say let us allow Xiam(can't really spell the name as it sounds Chinese) to take part. So X (whatever you are) you're welcome. Don't worry we'll walk with you, we'll also help you in your quest to recover from your mental state. Don't be ashamed of your illness. Allah be with you!!!

BY THE WAY DID YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH AS YOUR WORDS STINK LIKE YOUR BREATH

You Bleep with the wrong nigger you f****  ass***. I'm sure where ever you are, you're treated like shit, slowpoke. You are one of those people who are spreading desease all over the world. You are a piece of gabbage. Go and see a doctor. You sound like an out of tune Radio. I bet my last cent that you are one of those Africans who left the continent and thinking that you are better than everybody else, you're one of those street sweepers in London.

What did your parents teach, if you have any, because you sound like you were conceived by a baboon!!

TAKE THAT!!!!!

Xiamorra ( whatever the funny name means) is buck toothed, barbaric, inhuman, baboon, devil, lucifar who is an absolute disgrace to mankind. This person is a dangerous deases, she is not different to HIV/AIDS. People let us just ignore this fool please, whenever she posts, just ignore her. She sounds mentally unfit. Go and tell your mother all the things your said, you damn nit wit cow bubble!!!! You deserve to be hanged you biggot.

Going back to the issue of the attacks again, I agree with Malaika that the giovernment should have created refugee camps especially for Zimbabweans as they here in large numbers. People who live in township have been complaining about the fact that Zimbabweans in particular should be monitered as they are here in large numbers.

Another contributing factor is that most black South Africans are light in coluor and they have tis problem of always discriminating people who are darker. This thing have been going on for a long time since I was little. It seems as if they don't understand whats going on. It is so confusing. South African also have this fear of foreigners in general.  This thing was created when the whites diveded the population. Whites had their own places, Indians had their own places, Coloureds had their settlements. Blacks were also divided. Zulu (KZN), Xhosa (Eastern Cape), Tswana (North West), Northern Sotho, Tsonga and Venda (Limpopo). This thing caused problems . Today Zulus think that they are better than Tswanas and otherwise. This created a problem for us, also South African think that they are better than all Africans becasue of the standard of living. That is basically what the Americans are doing to the Mexicans and Canadians in general. South Africans have adopted western lifestyles. People don't have a clue about other African coutries. Ask yourself why our Soccer teams are doing badly in Africa. The thing thing is they don't take anything about Africa serious. They'll complain about hotels, transport heat, food. That is why some like Kaizer Chiefs were kivked out by CAF after refuding to travel to Central African Republic. The players were not comfy about going there.


All these are the problems that contribute to how South Africans treat other African . TO TELL THE TRUTH I'M SO ASHAMED OF BEING SOUTH AFRICAN TODAY. AFTER WHAT THESE BARBARICS DID TO THOSE POOR PEOPLE.    I ask for your forgiveness in the name of GOD, ALLAH the benificent.

By the way guys I'll be coming to Abuja on the 1st of June when Bafana Bafana takes on the Super Eagles. I'll come back to South Africa on the 4th. That means I'll have 2 days to tour Abuja. I'm looking foward to the trip. My dream will be finally realised. I;ve been dreaming of visiting Nigeria especially Lagos. I've only been to Dakar in Senegal and Accra in Ghana. Hopefully the two giants will rise to the occasion. They must justify their giant status as they only won the AFRICAN CUP of Nations three times between themselves (Nigeria 2 times, South Africa once).

Looking foward to seeing some fine ladies there.

Guys from what I've gathered no Nigerian has been killed. Most of the people who were killed are Zimbabweans. I'm not condoning it but most of the ZIMBABWEANS are the ones who usually commit robberies and gruesome murders. To attest to this, South Africa used to have one of the lowest crime rates in the World, untill 1994 when government allowed foreigners to come to this country willy nilly! The problem here is that we have 20% of the population that is very poor and mostly black. Most foreigners (Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Malawians, Kenyans and Somalians etc) when they come to South Africa they amongst the poor South African who are already struggling to get basic services from government. Toi South Africans it seems as if the foreigners are competing with them.

When you go to the cities like Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, etc thats where you find Nigerians. Nigerians don't normally settle amongst the poor South Africans. They usually settle with us the Black Middle class in the cities. The South African black middle class is basically educated and also open minded. That is why there is no friction between us and the Nigerians. There are some bad ones who sell drugs, but not all of them are like that. It now goes back to the point that not all South African are like those barbaric fools who go around slaying innocent people.

As far as I'm concern there has been only 22 murders and there is no Nigerian in that number. The guywho posted this thread was lying and I can sense an element of hate in him. He is trying to create animosity among good South Africans and good Nigerians.

Once again let me apologize for what this fools are doing. I bet my last cent that most of them are so ignorant that they don't even know where is Nigeria, Ghana or Egypt are located

I'm South African and guys I'm also so ashamed of what is happening here. Most of the people who are doing this are the poor ones, who feel that foreigners are taking their jobs and also contributing to the hifh crime levels. Well some are contributing to the crime levels and also drugs, but that does not justify what's happening here today. Pres Mbeki and former Pres Nelso Mandela has also condemned the xenophobic attacks.

The government is now going to send the army into the township to deal with the barbaric thugs who killed people. Guys pls not all of us are like that. I've lived with Nigerian, Ghanaian, Ivorian brothers for 6 years now and they're all great people. I've been to Accra and Abuja and now I'm scared to come back there because now I don't know how you gusys are gonna treat me. Not all South Africans are bad, both Black and White.

I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY.
