The whites have been under attack since the end of apartheid I don't know why the media has been turning a deaf ear to the plights of White afrikkans farmers in SA. More than 20K has been murdered,maimed or räped since 1994... You can research on this...
I don't see the xenophobic attacks ending soon.. Even if it stops now,in a few months or years attacks ll continue
SA was built on a faulty line & has always been a keg of gun powder waiting to explode.. I'm surprised it took this long

that's not true, I follow the discussions on this section, that's been debunked.

I'D like to see your source though.

RANDYMUDA:
Well I think the big problem here is generalization , which is the actual problem of SAFRICANS.. White = racist, black foreigner= crime, streal our jobs..!

the bolded, you should take your own advice.

V0lv0:
But can apartheid really be blamed for this cos a lot of the people who are commiting these acts were not really affected so much by apartheid(the younger generation) and if so why are the only attacking the blacks only?

Why do people say they only attack blacks, the people affected are obviously those living and trading in townships. Zim, moz, somilis and Ethiopian, the few Chinese and pakis are affected.

Wow, and the camera is just standing there. Really disgraceful..

The guy obviously had albinism, end of argument.

infofta:
This attack is in Durban, not the whole of South Africa.
This attack is carried out by uneducated, lazy and jobless ones. This group of people live outskirts of the cities where cost of living is low. . You may be a victim if you live in such areas. Students and migrants who are yet to find their feet in South Africa live in these areas. Is like saying Boko haram is killing People in Nigeria. I'm typing from Johannesburg and I strongly condemn the attack. Like somebody said. Only in South Africa uneducated person will say an immigrant medical doctor is taking his job.

don't you mean townships and informal settlements..

[quote author=iconize post=32881142][/quote]why are you so calm these days? what happened to the old iconize?

iterator24:
you're yet to prove anything, your claims are not recorded anywhere in Nigeria's history and Africa at large or cyberspace.
I've opened a thread for you

www.nairaland.com/2264899/see-what-south-africans-nairaland

you can argue with them from now on...

lol, honestly that's really childish, opening a thread while your having a little debate with someone.

Madness.

Rome - Pope Francis joined Italy in pressing the European Union Saturday to do more to help the country cope with rapidly mounting numbers of desperate people rescued in the Mediterranean during journeys on smugglers' boats to flee war, persecution or poverty. As the pope made his appeal, flanked by Italian President Sergio Mattarella, hundreds of migrants took their first steps on land in Sicilian ports after being rescued in past days by merchant vessels and Italian Coast Guard boats. Sicilian towns were running out of places to shelter the arrivals, including more than 10 000 in the week ending Saturday. With his wide popularity and deep concern for social issues, the pope's moral authority gives Italy a boost in its lobbying for Brussels and northern EU countries to do more. Since the start of 2014, nearly 200 000 people have been rescued at sea by Italy. "I express my gratitude for the commitment that Italy is making to welcome the many migrants who, risking their life, ask to be taken in," Francis told the Italian head of state. "It's evident that the proportions of the phenomenon require much broader involvement." Extensive commitment "We must never tire of appealing for a more extensive commitment on the European and international level," Francis said. Italy says it will continue rescuing migrants abandoned by smugglers but demands the European Union increase assistance to shelter and rescue them. Since most of the migrants want to reach family or other members of their community in northern Europe, Italian governments have pushed for those countries to do more, particularly by taking in the migrants while their requests for asylum or refugee status are examined. "For some time, Italy has called on the European Union for decisive intervention to stop this continuous loss of human life in the Mediterranean, the cradle of our civilization," Mattarella said. The European Union's commissioner for migration, Dmitris Avramopoulos, says a new policy will be presented in May. Meanwhile, he has also called for member states to help deal with the crisis. Latest arrivals Some of the 90 migrants who set foot Saturday on Palermo's docks were too weak to stand. Most were from Somalia. A merchant ship which intercepted their distress call rescued them; then they were transferred to an Italian Coast Guard vessel. Also on Saturday, an Italian navy ship arrived in the Sicilian port of Messina with more than 450 migrants, including 50 minors, from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Syria. Police marched two suspected migrant-smugglers off the ship after arresting them onboard. Several Sicilian towns say they are running out of room, and many of the latest arrivals were being taken to other shelters on the Italian mainland, including in the north. Days of calm seas and good weather, combined with increasing chaos and violence in Libya, are cited as factors in the current surge of migrants. AP

cold:
These pics are truly horrific. Kinda odd that moderate thinking South Africans aren't outraged and protesting the killing of fellow Africans. Gives the impression all south Africans are in on this. So sad. South Africa should be completely isolated.
We need to send a very strong message that these kind of atrocities can not be tolerated and is totally unacceptable in this day and age.
When i watched a video of a south african journalist getting mugged whilst on air,that was when i knew those guys had gone completely loco.

xenophobia
That's funny cause the guys robbing were Zimbabweans,

MikeCZAR:
Just look at the response of governments around the continent.

What would happen if we start gunning down their people, cause both sides hold protests. One side would claim they're targeted.

Even the new Malawi gov which is hostile to SA is now revelling its true colours.

I mean gunning down the xenophobes.

agaugust:
Those were allegations against Haile Selassie, he NEVER said anything racist that I can find in history, though I am not expert in that area.

Anybody who fought against the western power will surely get a bad name worldwide.

If Selassie was against blacks, I bet you Bob Marley who was closer to the Selassie era and generation, and all black Jamaicans, will NOT see him as a hero.

I am no expert in this area, but I find NO concrete evidence against Haile Selassie, his best quoted speech is that the race and skin colour of a man's skin should not be used to discriminate against him.

Okay bro.

Horus:
Stop trying to protect Afrophobic Killers because you know very well that those barbarian Xenophobics kill only black people

It is because of their "bootlicking mentality" that whites racists are still in control of the South African economy

Okay dude.

Lezzlie:
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.

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.

Horus:
Show us a picture of Chineses and pakistanis burned alive or stoned to death

show me a picture of a Nigerian or Kenyan being burnt to death. there aren't that many Chinese in these areas compared to Somalis, Mozambicans, Zimbabweans, those are the people most affected.

JiggamanGh:
Bullshit, America is the way it is because of immigrant, look at all the top countries around the world they all have large amount of immigrants. Why are they not attacking whites, Indians and Chinese that are in the country.

these attacks are in poor and impoverished areas, no white foreigners will live there. As for Asians, that's not true, they're just as affected You can see many YouTube videos showing attacks on Chinese as pakistanis

China complains to South Africa over xenophobic attacks

I wonder which one is the 2000000.

With all the fake stories I've been,seeing of late, I don't believe these boko-haram stories

Another fake xenophobia story, just like the video on the FP yesterday.

the story is false, the child was hit by a stray rubber bullet during a service delivery protest back in january.

Here's the original article back in February. The child isn't even a foreigner.

that's why I suspect a third force is behind the xenophobic violence

make use of imagesraider.com to check the source of the images claimed to be xenophobic, since your job on nairaland is to defend your country.

agaugust:
African Arabs threaten Ethiopia same way Middle Eastern Arabs threaten Israel. Ethiopia is full of black Jews. Egypt threatened to attack Ethiopia last year or so, we debated the potential war here. I don't see why Haile would be racist....he is black. Bob Marley's father was white. Haile Selassie said : "Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war." Quote from Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, the Lion Of Africa. Bob Marley copied it into a song.

I get you, but he still considered negroid people inferior to cushitic people whom he considered Caucasian. I wouldn't really worship a men with such views.

Ethiopian leaders like Haile Selassie and Menelik were racist towards blacks. Despite both being Oromos, these Ethiopian leaders regarded themselves as whites.

Here's just one of many quotes they stated: "'I am not a Negro at all; I am a Caucasian' the Emperor Menelik told the West Indian pan-Africanist Benito Sylvian who had come to Addis Ababa to solicit the Emperor's leadership in a society for the 'Amelioration of the Negro race.' Haile Sellassie confirmed that view in a declaration to Chief H. O. Davis, a well known Nigerian nationalist, stating that the Ethiopians did not regard themselves as Africans, but as 'a mixed Hamito-Semitic people (2006, John H. Spencer, p. 306)"

To read all the racist and cowardly acts these Ethiopian leaders did, I suggest you read this highly researched article:

http://www.madote.com/2010/03/were-ethiopian-leaders-colonialist.html

Why you shouldn't believe everything you read online.

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.

Hmmmm, good points, they were illegal, and Ghana did it first.

Military discussiëren pls, Dangote is with a doubt richest african/ black, stop the infantile arguments.
