I do business and travel to South Africa quite frequently to which I find this very disheartening. South Africa is such a diversified country with alot to offer. The softly softly approach by Mbeki doesnot help the issue. In order to resolve this issue, get rid of Mugabe.
It is as it has always been with humans. POWER= We do to you what we want,we take from you what we want, you are nothing. We educated westerners do it all the time as well. However due to our spectacular educational institutions, we tend to do it to the other, other. Oh, who am i trying to kid? We do it to the first other as well but here its not called power its called money.
It deeply distressed me to see the violence that is happening in South Africa, particularly for the poor Zimbabweans who have nowhere to go. When is the world going to wake up and do something about Mugabe. Thabo Mbeki should also wake up, if he had sorted out the Zimbabwe situation, there would be a lot less Zimbabweans in South Africa. What is the option of Zimbabweans? Starve to death in Zimbabwe or get beaten or burnt to death in South Africa. Why will no one do anything?
Xenophobia is not the word it is about poverty I think. Sensible development is needed along with dealing with world over-population. I believe South Africa has huge coal
Leave them to there own devices! Africans have been doing this type of crap to each other since the begining of time. Nothings changed, nothing will.
stop xenophobia.. hmm wonder when they figure out that its not the foreigners who destroyed the economy and the workforce but their own democratically elected government of thieves and murderers..
Church groups and tougher police.. they could have stopped this well before it happened. I've been to South Africa before and I know how bad the tensions are
