XENOPHOBIC ATTACK IN SOUTH AFRICA

My mind has been drawn to the Xenophobic attack on foreigners, going on in South Africa, saw some gruesome and very disturbing pictures that left me sleepless, and i am trying to understand the reasons behind the attacks. Last time it was Kenya Massacre before then is Boko Haram in Nigeria then Libya, Egypt to mention but a few,  now it is Xenophobic attack. And it just makes me wonder, why are we Africans so barbaric in nature, why have we refuse to put these animalistic behaviour aside and plan on how to promote our Economy and indeed our Continent? We find so much joy in killing ourselves and spend most time hating each other yet we complain of Racism, what an irony. How could others love, value or respect you when you do not love or respect yourselves?. These set of people killing foreigners in South Africa on the ground that they are taking over the jobs and opportunities in the country have you stopped to ask yourself, whose fault is it that they are taking over (if truly they are)?. If you were as smart or qualified or as hard working, creative and driven as those foreigners wouldn't you be given the same opportunity as well? Maybe if you weren't so Lazy or ignorant foreigners wouldn't be given so much opportunities than you the legitimate citizen! The jobs are given to those who are qualified. Go to other countries, oh? You think migrants are only in south Africa? Have other countries been killing other immigrants? Other foreign countries wouldn't kill foreigners in their country just because they are taking over the jobs because most times the citizens are even more ambitious and smarter than the foreigners. Now if I were part is that  group of South Africans that are killing foreigners, I would sit down think of how to make myself useful, build myself and become competitive. According to the 2013 UNAIDS report South Africa has an estimated 6.3million people living with HIV more than any country in the world. While the foreigners are busy getting pAID you are busy getting AIDS. What a shame. These and many other challenges in the country to worry about and they all need solutions, from Hunger to Poverty to Aids etc. When you look at all these challenges you will see that the foreigners are not the problem but you. "! Ke e: |xarra ||ke (Ixam) "Unity in diversity" isn't that your motto? Where is the unity in diversity? You have gone against everything you stand for. Stop this madness, Stop this ignorance, stop this evil, stop giving yourselves reasons to kill another human being, #stop Xenophobia in South Africa.
