Xenophobia- The South African Incident
Yesterday after a very hectic day i got wind of what has been happening in South Africa that started a little under a week ago . For those of you who haven't heard the Zulu boys and other members of the South African community (mostly gangs) decided all the misfortunes that have befallen themselves and their brothers is solely the fault of immigrants, specifically African immigrants who came from other countries on the same continent. They believe these immigrants have taken things that belong to them like jobs, money and their livelihood in general so they decided to steal from, injure and kill foreigners in Durban and parts of KwaZulu-Natal (spelling might be wrong).
Wars have been started for less.
I do not understand this at all. Why would they blame the poor state of their lives on others who probably had to fight tooth and nail to thrive in a foreign community. We are talking about fellow Africans here, people of the exact same color, what advantage would they have over them in their own land? Its not like the education in other parts of Africa is better than theirs in South Africa so why would they be preferred over them. These acts are terrible and are those of weak minded, lazy individuals who can do nothing for themselves and as a result look for who to blame for their sorry state.
