Your xenophobic displacement in 1minute..

President Thabo Mbeki has described the xenophobic attacks as a Disgrace to SA..the plight of the after effects of the attacks it still very visible as thousands of foreigners are packing up their bags to go home..
See the heart-warming pics by The Times photographers

The aftermath of the xenophobic attacks..

People are traumatized, women have given birth in these hostile situations and shacks have been burnt - leaving people homeless and seeking refuge @the Methodist Church in the Johannesburg CBD...! Sounds crazy but its true..
Here is a video of what some people are going through after the heavy xenophobic attacks that took place 11 days ago..!

When will it end?

The front page of The Times newspaper had these words: "Please Forgive us"..this was a plea by Bishop Desmond Dudu asking the Foreigners to forgive the South Africans for the violence and hate that has taken place over the past 10days...! What I was wondering today is - Are the police making the situation worse by running around shooting rubber bullets? You tell me..How should the violence be stopped?

-Violence ascalates in Reiger Park..!

Sky Hawk..!

These are the scenes of the Kya Sands- northwest of Johannesburg, yesterday with regards to the xenophobic attacks that are still taking place in South Africa. Many have not seen anything like it..!!

Is this SA 2008??

Once again the Xenophobic attacks in our country continue to spread like wild fire. I am fortunate to say I did not see what my fellow journalists saw. However, I was running for cover recently @Kay Sands - west of Johannesburg after police opened fire on Monday morning. My beloved girlfriend's heart is heavy because she is involved with a journo and as much as this is part of my life now...it is also part of her life and I feel for her. What is SA coming to??Why aren't our leaders saying or doing anything about this??They keep speaking out from their comfort zone..instead of addressing the situation head on and possibly deploying the army..! I watched The Times slideshow on these Xenophobic attacks and i was left in shock. I teared up when i saw all these events taking place across our "RAINBOW NATION"..that has seemingly turned into "RAINBOW HORROR"..we might actually need counselling after all of this.

I also saw a 2year old with blood on her face...they said she was not caught in a crossfire but rather fell down while she was running away from the cops. It got me all watery inside..Between me and you I'm just tired of going to Alex, Kya Sands, Reiger Park and so forth to...I say this with TEARS in my eyes....PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS,IT IS NOT THE SOUTH AFRICA WE WANT TO LEAVE IN...NO ONE WANTS TO DIE AND NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO GO TO JAIL..!
