President Zuma should be put to question regarding Xenophobia in South Africa. While I have deep seated respect for the man as all rulers are put their by God,the plight of Black Africans has grown worse in south Africa. Jobs are all exclusively reserved for the so called south Africans.Most Africans come here and are offered low paying call centre jobs,and when they require advancement in the form of training and government assistance, they are completely alienated from economic advancement except as informal traders.
Amazingly south Africans have a deep appetite for whites and Indians and resent their own brothers who before colonialism roamed Africa freely. They Forget th at Black Africans have a deeper claim south africa than any Indian or white who claims to be south African.This Not to say that our Indian and white brothers don't have aclaim,they do but can someone explain this systematic xenophobia. An Someone explain lindela? In essence south Africans have shown their unwillingness to accommodate their brothers and it's time African governments repatriated all their nationals and cease any integration with Pretoria. SA has failed to take the leadership role in bringing economic freedom to fellow Africans that we took in sponsoring it's own freedom.
Apparently, abuses were committed by the authorities in Brazzaville to clear the area around the parliament building (where the Forbes African Forum was being held) from "undesirables": http://observers.france24.com/fr/content/20130730-femmes-deshabillees-humil iees-garde-republicaine-brazzaville-congo
(Apologies, the article is only in French for now).
It's appalling that the authorities would condone this kind of behaviour, and I hope that the perpetrators are held accountable.
let Africa rise, rise and rise with NO outside obstacles as before. We "Africans and Africa" must and should be living in a free, prosperous, better and African ways of life. Long live our "Africa and Africans" liberties, Africa Sovereignties, and struggles for the prosperiety of our "Africans and Africa" future generations.
