The struggle for liberty and freedom for which the enslaved indegenious south Africans and even a few liberal whites were fighting and dying for a long time did not achieve its goal regardless of the superficial political independence and transfer of power from the minority apartheid alien masters to the excluded blacks.

The majority of those blacks who were actively fighting and dying for their liberty and independence for bring the dreams to reality are still in ghetto type impoverished areas with out jobs, standard homes, sufficient medical cares, sufficient education and an all round basic good life and living.

For them the minority white apartheid exploiters have been partially replaced by black minority “apartheid bosses” working in cooperation with the same old white minority apartheid lords still ruling the country from behind the scene. Hmm…! Dream shattering?

Add to this, the current Zimbabwe conflict in which the opposition won election and the ruling party being led by Mogabe forcefully and violently robbed the people’s vot and its mandate. Mugabe was a hero turned in to a self centered dictator bent on taking hostage his own people and keep them impoverished and displaced as long as he is alive instead of implementing controlled change.

Remember also the fact that Tabo Mbeki, the current ANC leader sided with the ruling Mugabe, while his competitor and presidential aspirant Jacob Zuma supported and sympathized with Zimbabwe’s opposion whose leaders and grass roots supporters have been violently prosecuted by Mugabe and forced in to exile in South Africa.

This means that Leader Tabo Mbeki would love to chase away Zibabwe oppositions from South Africa while presedential Jacb Zuma would like to protect them in South Africa itself.

This further means that these refugees are in a way partly just a simple scape goat and game tokens who happen to be so unfortunate as to find themselves between the the big boys waring factions for power struggle.

“It is always the green grasses that suffers most when two elephants fight.” states the good old saying.

As some of you have astuitely stated, there may not have been anything of ANC or black majority rule in Apartheid SOUTH Africa if it were not for the whole hearted, allround support of the African countries, especially most of the so called frontline states surounding and sharing boundary with that country.

But of course when outrage breaks out and long suppressed feelings of injustice and sufferings bursts out there may not be any rational demarcation of conflict and violence boundary but rages like wild fire some times consuming anything that moves.

That is also why the violense in South Africa kept expanding to various refugees, other immigrants and even to the various ethnic and regional communities of the country itself. The next target in the spiraling violence would have been the government itself and the ex-apartheid bosses controling the national wealth at the expenses of these rioting wretched poor people.

Now the same Aparthied ruled and abused people are biting the hands that fed them and sheltered them. Some of the blacks in South Africa are becoming shame to the whole black race, not only shame to South Africa. They are becoming shame to humanity.They have become some cruel and barbaric beasts that have no humanity in them.

Now all those forgotten they are coming after those who are suffering ……SHAME ON YOU BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS !!!!!!!!!!

i mean 1995 was a wistle blower for any one who wanted to work hard and succed in the rich nation- for both locals ‘which were in total advantage of their home land and all the foreigners that came after wards with no knowledge of the place what so ever.
well did them local people give them thier best hospitality treat them like a refugee who suffered days and even months of extremely harsh conditions to escape political economic or what ever crisis they were running out of? hope the answer is a given! So now that the once foreigners made SA their home ,pured their sweat till the very last drop and succeded against all Odds, these people try and blame all their mess on the out siders!
well what is south africa and south african?
the one and only measure if any, would be to first of all
STRIP THEM OF THE WORD ” AFRICA” for they have nothing
african about them.

It is one thing to be outraged by the economic hardship they face in their country. It is another to go on a killing spree in response. South Africans have better chance, as compared to other African nations, to change their government and local administrators through elections if they are dissatisfied with their economy. They can press their government, which people in majority of other African nations cannot do, to bring economic progress and better living conditions. Stoning “foreigners” to death and declaring “victory” because of economic hardship is outrageous, repugnant, barbaric, and inhuman. I felt disheartened by how they feel proud by killing immigrants just because, I quote, “they work hard and whites prefer to hire them to hiring us (South Africans).” Blaming immigrants because they work hard? Blaming the whites for hiring hard working people instead of South Africans because, I quote, “(South Africans) demand our rights and go on strike”? Amazing! Sure, South Africans (I am not blaming all of them. Surely, there are enough good South Africans) are demonstrating their abilities by killing “hard working” immigrants! I was totally amazed by those South Africans who claim that “immigrants are bad people. A South African takes your cell phone but he won’t kill you. A foreigner will take your phone and still kill you.” So, who is killing who? Who is robbing who? Who is looting the properties of whom? That, South Africans must answer!!! They must start thinking and stop killing!!!

This is what happens when you try to appease your former masters from the get go. The ANC chose this path and they will have to address it sooner or later, I am not even sure the ANC now has that leverage anymore, there are enough South Africans with modern day slave mentality who are prefered by the Europeans who can challenge the ANC and turn South Africa into another puppet regime like most African countries. Paranoia leads to narrow mindedness and that is exactly the poor South Africans are doing to other immigrants now. When you are in despair you find a weaker scapegoat and blame them for your economic problems. We Africans should be smarter than that or just learn a lesson from South Africans that when you fight for freedom you don’t compromise your principles for the sake of temorary peace or to receive a Nobel Prize. Look at the Palestinians and South Africans, their leaders were the toast of their former colonizer, showered with honorary degrees, invited as key note speakers in foreign lands and receipients of Nobel prize but their people are still in peril. Africans should remember they are fighting for their people not for recognition by their former masters and true enemies. The African intelligentsia are too busy looking for recognition from the wrong people and forgetting about the very people they claim to fight for, the result is long term despair and no appreciable benefit to their people.
