My motherland!
My mamma land Africa
Stop fighting
Stop killing we gotta unity!
The past few weeks l have been following closely news from my neighboring South Africa and the media has been awash with disgusting and disturbing pictures and clips resulting from barbaric acts of violence incited on foreigners by South Africans of which has described by many as misplaced anger. As their sole reason for this is that foreigners are taking their jobs!
This have triggered me to make an introspect of the republic of South Africa of which l found out that, it is one of the youngest country in the continent they only got their independence as late as 1994 through the collaboration of other sister nations such as Zimbabwe ,Malawi ,Mozambique ,to mention just but a few who had already gotten their independence. It is a fact that without the help of these sister nations it could have taken longer for the republic of South Africa to get from the apartheid regime where they were treated as second citizens in their own motherland. And now 20 years on they are killing, beating, burning and torture their fellow continent men for such “unjustified “reasons.To my surprise these people are not in South Africa as thieves or beggars the chunk of them rather they are the drivers of the economy as they form the greater part of the workforce and even to some extent they are owners of the means of production or business making them relevant in the economy of South Africa as in any other country!
I say no no to xenophobia !
We are one love one another!
Let’s embrace the Ubuntu !
No human is better than the other!
