[00:01:39]Taking things that don't belong to you.

[00:01:48]Get all of the young men to come and help.

[00:01:51]The young guys.

[00:01:54]Where are the young guys at?

[00:02:00]>> Uh Malita Ask them boy to come and help us. Guys come in out inside with the ladies stuff. Lira Lira Come inside.

[00:02:09]Come inside.

[00:02:18]These kind of videos are hard to watch sometimes, but we need to showcase for the world to see what our Ethiopian and Somalia African brothers are passing through in the hands of black South Africans. They are chasing them from their own shops.

[00:02:32]These South Africans are not immigration officers or police officers. They are citizens.

[00:02:39]But they have the effrontery to go to someone's shop and chase them away.

[00:02:45]Out of hunger out of poverty out of enviousness out of jealousy they are doing whatever they are doing.

[00:02:55]Who come and terrorize and shoot at our people and loot our shops and steal our money and hit our women. Those people immediately when they arrive, they storm our building, they deploy tear gas and they stole money.

[00:03:09]And people people people try to run out of from them because these people are very terrible and very violent.

[00:03:18]Go go go go Go out out out out out out everyone out.

[00:03:25]Go now now now now please my country Don't waste my time.

[00:03:29]Go now.

[00:03:33]Fast fast fast Go go Go now.

[00:03:40]Go go go go go now now now now out out hey out out out out out out out out out out >> There's something I want you to understand about my grievances. I am not saying that Ethiopians and Somalis must stay in South Africa forever.

[00:04:11]I am not saying that black South Africans don't have power to decide who stays in their country or not. But these people are not the law. They are not the authorities.

[00:04:23]These people are citizens and they don't have any power to do those kind of activities.

[00:04:29]And let me remind you that many of them are killing the Ethiopians and the Somalis. Many of them are looting their shops.

[00:04:39]Is this kind of protest to protect their country from immigration?

[00:04:47]Are you calling this something good?

[00:04:51]Do they have the interest of their country by killing innocent people and stealing from their shop?

[00:05:01]Are you calling criminals defenders of a nation?

[00:05:06]I know many of you don't understand anything and many of you are saying that they are defending their country.

[00:05:12]If really they want to defend their country, they have to claim the land because over 90% of the land in South Africa doesn't belong to the black people.

[00:05:25]Businesses, big businesses doesn't belong to them.

[00:05:30]They don't have anything to point a finger and say this is what we own.

[00:05:36]They own nothing in their own country.

[00:05:39]>> [snorts] >> And these Africans, these Ethiopians, these Somalis, these Nigerians, these Guineans, these Congolese, these Kenyans, these Zimbabweans, these Mozambicans have done nothing to them.

[00:05:55]And they have not taken anything from them.

[00:05:58]The only people who are in possession of something that is supposed to belong to them are the white minority.

[00:06:06]But they are scared of them. They are scared to confront them. Instead, they will confront their fellow Africans because they see them as easy targets.

[00:06:17]Let us call a spade a spade. Let us call something that is not good exactly what it is.

[00:06:25]Don't let us cover up things that are not appropriate.

[00:06:31]Let us say it the way it is. This is not right.

[00:06:37]All the murders of African immigrants must come to an end because they have the right to live.

[00:06:49]They have the right of movement.

[00:06:52]It is not only South Africa that you find African immigrants.

[00:06:57]You find African immigrants in America, in Europe, in Asia, in Australia.

[00:07:03]But even though those are not black people, but they do not treat African immigrants like the way black South Africans are treating their fellow Africans, their fellow black people.

[00:07:17]This is insane.

[00:07:19]Same people who helped you to get your freedom from the colonial system, from the apartheid system.

[00:07:28]Same people.

[00:07:30]Some of your leaders went to exile in those countries.

[00:07:36]But this is what you are paying them back for helping you.

[00:07:41]This is what you pay them back.

[00:07:44]And let me remind you that the white minority the AfriForum they are still planning to take the country back.

[00:07:55]Because they believe you are not the rightful owners of the land. Oh, yes. If you don't know, I am telling you today that they believe you are not the rightful owners of the land.

[00:08:06]And one day they are going to take the land back.

[00:08:11]South [snorts] Africa may go back to apartheid.

[00:08:18]This is not exaggeration.

[00:08:21]This is something that is bound to happen.

[00:08:24]Because this time no African country will come to your aid.

[00:08:29]Because you've bitten the finger that fed you.

[00:08:32]Enough is enough.

[00:08:35]A word to the wise, as I always say.

[00:08:38]It is enough. Like the video.
