It breaks my heart to see what is happening in our Country at the moment with all these Xenophobic attacks… since when does anyone have the right to kill people just because they come from a different country?  Have these people forgotten where we come from as a country and the suffering we endured as a nation during apartheid… It saddens me as a South African that our people can behave like this.  Aren't we supposed to be the loving, forgiving, caring nation… 

Are these people human?  Cause I fail to come to terms that human beings can harm other human beings like this… The hate, anger and aggression is so hectic, it's barbaric, demonic! If people are in South Africa illegally and involved in illegal activities then they need to be dealt with the legal way not violently.  Can we just sit back in our corners and hope something gets done and these attacks stop… no way…  we need to unite as South Africans and Africans against this inhuman behaviour.  It took us a very long time to be where we are today as a nation and many of our fellow Africans look up to us as a nation, we can't let a few barbaric people tarnish the image people have of South Africa… This is a beautiful country with beautiful people and this behaviour is unacceptable and should be stopped.

later…
