These South African savages have short memory.They seem to have forgotten so soon how apartheid was fought. They should thank their stars that the whites who built South Africa are still tolerating them. How can other Africans who run the shops and other small scale businesses be taking their jobs? These lazy and criminal assholes will not fill the vacuum if other Africans leave because crime is their principal occupation.
Without the efforts of African nations these people would still be in cages in South Africa otherwise what do they have to confront a well developed military machine of apartheid South Africa.
Well said! Some of these South Africans are incapable of rational thought and do things from a primitive and prehistoric perspective. No wonder their apartheid masters thought they were three quarter man and one quarter beast.
President Zuma should first send his appeal to and sanction one of his sons who was one of those making the anti – foreigner’s hate speeches.
South African government should strongly call their people to order. These attacks are too much. Enough is enough. we can not continue to tolerant this barbaric behaviours from South Africans any more. God bless Nigeria and Africa.
We will review and take appropriate action.
