Hi, i think the Xenophobic violence in South Africa will keep recurring many years from now. The problem in South Africa is the demise of the black man’s soul that led to self hate of blacks. It is something that is so deeply entrenched that black people will just need to be taught self worth and respect for values. Ministers showing up at crime scenes wont do much ! If one hates themselves the only other person they attack is someone like them, OR someone they consider inferior to them thus this sick cycle . My advice is that the media like the Star continues to acknowledge contribution of the migrants in the country and diffuse from negating everything foreign and black. There are many migrants from Europe, China and India that are not targeted, because the black South African still considers other races superior therefore gives them the status quo of master. The biggest and worst form of slavery is mental slavery coz it is a state that could take upto 100 years to reverse. You need to forget about a whole generation that has been intoxicated and try to redeem they new generation not forgetting that is about 50 years! That is the reality of the matter. President Zuma and the ANC understand the dynamics of Africa and are doing a good job with Nepad, SADC etc…That is at the political leve, we now have to look at the social level. The man living in Soshanguve blockk gg, or Mamelodi! That is the challenge that am trying to raise here.
