South African Students Turn Against Foreign Teachers and Colleagues + Foreign Businesses Looted ๐ณAdded:
Are you at this juncture, no South African should come out and tell us that they are not xenophobic and they are not that, they are not what and why, they are not that. Unless they come out clear to tell us what exactly is the color of their problem in this issue that is going on in South Africa. This is really serious now. School children attacking their teachers and their colleagues to leave their country. A video of Zimbabwe teachers locked the school gate and locked themselves in the staff room just to avoid attack from students who are demanding that they leave and go to their country. This is serious.
school children now demanding that their teachers and their foreign classmates leave their country. This is getting serious. And not just that, they are also on the streets looting.
Congratulations.
This is becoming like genetics because I don't understand I think about it and I don't understand.
>> I don't take so I don't take mlininess.
I don't take far I don't take so far.
So on the most serious note, I am not surprised because if their parents, okay, for months now, if their parents are on the street marching, attacking foreigners and looting foreigners businesses and asking foreigners to leave showing hatred and saying it loud that they hate foreigners, why not?
>> I hate foreigner. I hate I hate I hate Zai. I don't like foreigner. Foreigner must go to their country. I hate foreigners. I am xenophobic. I I I hate again I hate times and times I don't know how many times I hate foreigners. I am xenophobic. I don't like foreigner because foreigners I don't have a child because of foreigner. Roma take this foreigners to their account. Right.
>> They will definitely follow the roots of their parents. You see, and some South African leaders are there trying to differ, trying to change the narratives, but the videos out there are very clear.
The videos are there on social media for us to see clear. I personally will not put all South Africans in one basket in this situation. Not all of them are in support of what is going on. There are so many videos of some of them condemning what is going on. But my problem is that what is the government of South Africa is doing in this situation to stop this nonsense to cail this nonsense that is going on on the street as >> document or not document please get we enough is enough must fall for here no because we heard politicians saying that there are more rooms for diplomatic solutions.
>> We we don't have to respond the same way they did. We need to pursue the diplomatic engagements with Ghana until uh we find one another. We don't think Ghana responded in a manner that really reinforces dialogue and diplomatic engagements. It actually creates a very bad extreme situation which is not >> where on earth where are the measures to open diplomatic solutions where so I am not seeing something like that we are not seeing things like that you see a video circulating shows some South Africans condemning the protesters also saying it clear that the protesters are lazy and they are not ready to work them they are sitting at home they are lazy to work we must not work it's not fair seriously Then they if you if you hire them, they only last a week. It's not even funny.
>> But the plan is that they were going to be here for the whole week, you know, the whole week sleeping this area.
Let them come back again.
>> So what's going to happen? The same brothers there same brothers same country guys we're going to fight them now we're going to fight >> and the South African South African going to fight them now and then they must come with affairs guys of them a guy from the street he doesn't know if someone immigration or what they go back home why they don't come with qualified people who knows and how to identify that these guys this official.
This thing already.
Okay.
So this thing again.
All I'm saying is that let them use the right channels to demonstrate to come push their agenda because certainly they obviously they do have an agenda. They are worried about foreigners that are undocumented in this country. But let them use the right channel to do so. If they want to, let them apply.
>> And I understand that perfectly because if protest can turn into attacks and looting of foreigners, businesses, shops, and everything, what else will one see? Drop your opinions in the comment section. Let's discuss. I'm out.
