If you look well, you will see I was clearly blaming the bad eggs over there causing this problem.


I do not want any more deaths. Until the government solves this is, let them come home. Better alive than a dead medical doctor. South Africans are going about their anger the wrong way but the fact is nothing I type or think will change the hearts of south Africans if they thirst for blood. I can only sugest Nigerians leave before they are killed like chickens.

I think you've misunderstood the situation, so far NO Nigerian has been killed (according to the Nigerian ambassador in SA), these attacks are against all black Africans.

Now its easy to say: "Pack-up and Come home" or "Go back to your countries" like the Zulu King said, but I pose this challenge to you. Assume Nigeria were to divide into North and South, as you are with family, societal and business ties in one region and you were told to pack up and leave to the 'other country'. How simple is that going to be?? If you choose to be reasonable, you'd quickly realize how difficult.

Only the SA government can kick people out, which they've refused to do leaving them no rational choice but to weather the storm, and be sitting ducks for shameful acts of violence.

People's lives are tied-up, they have wives, husbands, children and businesses. It's very complicated.

I am so disappointed by many tribal bigots on this forum .Xenophobia attacks are carried out against your countrymen you are busy singing tribal music .While others due to ignorance and myopic minds are making meaningless comments .Let me clear some misconception many Nigerian don't know about situation in SA .Xenophobia attacks in DURBAN are carried out by few hungry,frustrated and Jobless black SA.The educated and employed Black will never involved in such barbaric act . First,there are thousands of Nigerian(both Igbo and Yoruba) in SA in medical,educational and business sector who helped SA government by employing black SA in their companies .(As the law require) Second,there virtually no University in SA you won't see a Nigerian as lecturer or researcher .Third ,the percentage of Nigerian involved in Drug business and illegal business is about 10percent in Durban (both Yoruba and Igbo).For the past weeks I have been to Durban magistrate court for research and I got list of all Cases I saw just 3Nigerian ,2Indian and the rest black SA(Zulus) .The 3 were arrested for drug cases and scam ming .The percentage is not much compare to what we have in UK,US and China although some "sorted "themselves out .Fourth,Many Nigerian are roaming aimlessly in SA doing nothing(some sell cd movies on roadside to survive) because they were deceived by agents that once they get here jobs are sure,unfortunately SA economy is crumbling and thousands of Citizens are jobless.The only jobs foreigners get here are science oriented and professional jobs(you have to contend with Indian,Pakistan and Chinese and due to shortage of skilled citizens(There are skilled citizens but number is just too small for a crumbling economy ) .Although many Nigerian run small scale stuff like Saloon,Canteen and so on Fifth ,We in the business and academic sphere have informed the SA police several times that if you caught any Nigerian in drugs dealing and illegal business arrest and jail him but they will arrest and but release them due to bribery they are very corrupt (SA policemen are same with Nigerian policemen the only difference is blue uniform and belly is bigger ).Please if you have family members and friends in SA and they can't explain what they are doing to survive please beg them to come home .We have done that several times but they won't listen to us .They have tarnished our image so much here .Lastly the number of hungry,uneducated and frustrated black SA is increasing and the government has not figure out the solution.These few elements are "Time bomb "for the society .

What is this st.u.pid respect you are asking for. You want us to bow down to you and lick your boots. Nonsense.

If someone says you are lazy and you are not, why does that justify you coming and looting his goods.

Your problem is your government, go and face them in parliament instead of embarrassing yourselves in front of the entire world.


At the end of this, foreigners will be the loosers. SA will be forced to tighten the immigration laws. Remember SA government 1st priority is SA citizens. So, there will be lots of changes

That would be better. At least, your government would be serious for once. Silly and xenophobic Zulus. There is nothing good about those Township dwellers.

They have no other option, just to avoid bloodshed. The number of migrants flocking into SA for better life has increased drastically, in a country with limited resources. So foreigners and unemployed local youth are at logaheads, crambling for those limited resources. The government is overwhelhmed.

We agree there is an urgent need for that. That doesn't mean the xenophobic Zulus are going to stop attacking African immigrants.

Bros you have not profer any solution to the problem on ground with all your comments so far .First your govt has tightened immigration law since last year (visitor visa holder can't apply for permit in SA. Second.SA economy can't survived without foreign investors .Foreigners are not employed by your government they run their businesses and pay taxation Infact some employed black SA to work in their companies. I know a Yoruba medical doctor who owned a big hotel in Durban 90percent of staff are Zulu.Ironically this yoruba man bought this hotel from Zulu who couldn't manage the business .Third ,the SA government is trying a lot by providing scholarships and grants to SA citizen for better education which is very good and commendable . However the hungry,uneducated and unemployed blacks in townships are not benefiting from this .Most don't know what they want to do in life and government also don't know what to do with them .These set of people are very angry when they see foreigners driving cars and looking good..I asked a lecturer yesterday this question what is the government doing about this set of hungry and frustrated black SA?The same question am asking all intellectuals SA on this forum.

CamilloA is the same identifier as Kwametut. You cannot hide your Ghanaian nature in your writing from me. Please, nobody should take him serious.

There is the repugnant disposition about South Africans that I don't like - praising the barbaric xenophobic attacks on African immigrants. Why in the good of humanity people commit crimes and expected to be complimented for them?! Zulu people are insane!

In which country?

The very same poor South Africans aren't the ones giving them economic opportunity. Unless foreigners start respecting South Africans in their own country, things like these will always come up everytime. How do you insult your host day in and day out and expect no retaliation. I am not supporting this xenophobia or Afrophobia, whatever you wanna call it. But i blame both sides, south africans and foreigners. How do you go to America and start insulting americans, instead of blending in with the local communities and become part of them. The biggest mistake foreigners make in South Africa, is to isolate themselves. It becomes "Them and us"

Foreigners have no close contact with their host, hence we have this issue on our hands. Even zimbabweans who are very close to South africa, isolate themselves. South Africans by their nature, are very sceptical about the unknown, there is more education that needs to happen both sides. Whats happening is just an embarrasment to the black race. We have 400 africans dying trying to cross to Italy, whats wrong with us. Are we a hopeless race?

I have to commend the Ghanaians, Batswanas, basothos, zwasis, zambians, malawians, they blend easily to local communities, the rest, they keep their distance hailing insults to their host. Its rare to find a Nigerian, zimbabwean, mozambican, congolese, ethiopian or somalians with a South African friend, it does not happen, why?
Are you sure about this?....I've been here a while and i disagree with your opinion on this.

True we foreigners would leave...and guess what?...expect same retaliatory responses from their home countries. At least you know,Naija is "Tit for Tat".
