The count is 7 not four.. THat is old news...

Wont more be dead.. The point here is...7 persons is not ONLY....This 7 persons come from homes..they are mothers, they brothers, they are fathers, they are sisters.. They are someones child..aunt, uncle..and so on and so forth...You can not communize any death.. you can't.. And it is not about the deaths only.. It is also about the loss of property/displacement/ livelihood/ dehumanization.. Thousands have been displaced...even the block head zuma visited some of the CAMPS!

On , having more dead if most South Africans want foreigners dead.. None ever said that. What is matter of fact is that a a good percentage of SAfricans are either passive xenophobes... or blood thirsty savages xenophobes.... I can define the two arms for you ..if you like...

The government is to blame, the lessons learned from 2008 xenophobia were never implimented just to avert future xenophobia attacks. SA government has tendency of not listening to the people, so the communities go violent to get government attention. The only thing government learn from 2008 was to minimize loss of lives, in 2008, 62 people were killed, government took long to react to the situation. in 2015, only 6 people have lost their lives. Government moved fast to protect foreigners from attacks.

Durban and KZN province are under control, no further protests reported for the past 4 days. The only concerns are Alexandra township and Jeppestown in joburg, the rest of joburg is safer. Pretoria is safe, cape town is safe, PE is safe. So by wednesday everything would be normal, the challenge would be how the displaced foreigners be returned to their homes, but i guess most of them will move to the safe cities. Its a pity these people have nothing or money. They came to SA for better life, even if they return home, they would be going back into poverty. SA government will be caught in the corner because majority of these people dont have papers. its not gonna be easy, but it was a lesson learned.

If SA tightens immigration laws, we will have more illegal people crossing the border. life ain't plesant north of SA. So people take deadly risk crossing the crocodile infested river to come to SA for better future. It will only get better when african economies improve, in such a way that migrants wont see SA as an economic magnet.

I knw dat more nigerians will die in this attack,generally we r hated 4 wht we knw notin abt ditto d fact that our brothers and sisters hv rilly painted our name real dark black not only in south africa but other countries they find there selves in,in fact I will say dis xenophobia tin is primary directed or indirectly a msg to nigerians there.

At the end of the day leaving Nigeria to other country will neva slove ur problem my brothers and sisters,go there and bring the wealth to nigeria,goverment can't do it all we d youth r developers of this Great nation.
It a lesson 4 us to learn 4rm now

7 in total, 4 foreigners, 3 south Africans.

This whole thing is tragic, don't think I'm in any way downplaying it, that king should be taken to the ICC, but this isn't the first time this has happened so the anti foreigner sentiment is big. I was just intrigued that you'd talk about not generalizing when that's all you ever do.

RANDYMUDA:


Not here , I think you opened a fresh thread at some point..

xenophobia is very topical these days due to the unfortunate events in SA.

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


correct me if am wrong? I apologize if I accused wrongly though

RANDYMUDA:


I don't know what is sadder , the fact you break down the dead people into categories? SMH# 7 people died! they all matter! I don't care how many are black SOUTHAFRICANS or foreigners...death is death...

Again.. it is good that you had enough dignity to not deny you trying to ferment hate...but I guess you had no choice.. your post is in black and white and your comments after the post shows either your actual non understanding of the issues or butthurt malice towardsthe country, NIGERIA? SMH#

I think it is best you stay away from my post.. if you can not comprehend what is written in them.. respectfully keep off...You can TROLL ON NAIRA LAND....but respectfully don't tip toe towards my post.. I would not apologize for your lack of intellect...

RANDYMUDA:


But you opened a whole new thread about it? no? and why repost it into a new thread without doing your own research? opening a new thread separate from the current discussions = I am drawing more attention to this....

osystein:


look, I wasn't the one who brought must go, go through the thread, must first post here was a reply to your comment about generalizing.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SA WITH WHAT THE YORUBAS ARE DOING TO THE IGBOS?

WHAT?

HYPOCRITES!!

EVERYDAY THE YORUBAS KEEP HARASSING, INSULTING, TORMENTING THE IGBOS.

THE OBA LATELY WAS BOLD TO SAY IT OUT!
AND SEVERAL YORUBAS EVEN IN HERE SUPPORTED HIM.

THIS IS HOW IT STARTED IN SA.
HATRED!!

I HOPE THE HATRED THE YORUBAS HAVE FOR THE IGBOS WILL NOT GET TO THIS STAGE.

SOME ARE HERE SHOOTING OUT PITY WHILE YOUR HATRED FOR THE IGBOS IS CHRONIC.

MAY GOD JUDGE YOU YORUBAS!!!
