For the first time in my life I have never felt so ashamed of being a South African untill recently. My embarrasment is fuelled by the ongoing xenophobic attacks that have cripped Gauteng province. I have never seen such hatred that "we" South Africans show to other fellow Africans. I don't care who says what, but there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to deliberately kill another human being. The horrible scences we see in the media recently are the reminiscence of the apartheid. The only difference is these are only senseless killings. Photo: Gianluigi Guercia, AFP

I was embarrassed and appaled at the way we blacks were treating our fellow black brothers. What's worse is that the whole world is watching! I was watching the videos yesterday on youtube and the people were making racist comments saying that the incident proves that blacks are savages I was very angry!
Yes you "don't care who says what.." because your house was not taken by a foreigner, your job was not taken by the foreigner and your wife and under age daughter were not also taken by the foreigner. Whether we like it or not the black foreigners are becoming a nuisance. Why can't they stay away from poor people if they are not stealing from them, they are feeding their sons drugs and forcing their daughter into prostitution.
So until you are in the shoes of those who smacked down ama kwerekwere shut up. Do not pass ur judgement while waiting for another affarmitive action job opportunity to open because many of those people who attacked the foreigners do not have that opportunity and when their children are old enough the fucking foreigner would have stole them because all these bastads do is to steal from the poorest of the poor.
