XENOPHOBIA RETALIATION AS NIGERIANS attack South Africa businesses, Shoprite and MTN offices in Nigeria.

The Xenophobia attacks in South Africa have triggered a backlash in Nigeria after angry Nigerians mobbed South African businesses Shoprite and MTN offices destroying property and looting, angered by the fact that their Nigerian brothers and sisters are under attack in South Africa while the South African government is not taking steps to stop it.

Zimbabweans based in South Africa are living in fear of the attacks against foreigners and sad to say but its a fact that people are now fully aware that targeting a different group, nationality, race or tribe will only create civil strive, blood loss, death, destruction, animosity and collapse business, cause loss of government tax and revenue, fuel unemployment, homelessness and affect a nation’s economy as global attention brings in economic sanctions, at the very least loss of capital and investment by foreign investors. Zimbabweans know better, they did this to white farmers and collapsed commercial farming, as they grabbed white owned farms, mines, resorts and mines.

The result is that it is the same people who stood silent or celebrated this aggression, hostility, discrimination and marginalisation of other groups, who are now spread globally across the diaspora. The motherland Zimbabwe is faced with shortages of basics such as bread, unaffordable basics, unemploynent, no electricity, no fuel, no respect for the rule of law, no Service Delivery in health care, education, housing, transport and other areas, simply a total collapse and a failed nation. South Africa is simply regressing into a repeat of similar nature not just in Zimbabwe but its not the first time Xenophobic attacks have happened and we all saw the death, destruction and fear that forced suffering diaspora Zimbabweans to flee back home.

Finally everyone needs to understand , we are equal, black, white, any race, tribe, religion, gender, we are human and thats what matters, no one is more important than the other and we all are entitled to equal opportunity, respect and amicable respectful peaceful living.

Without governments that lead this, most nations fuel behaviour that shows low moral standards in society, including, drink, drug, crime, terrorism, war, disharmony and total collapse of civilised co-existence, by legitimising and normalising abnormal, divergent, extreme, , perverse conduct. It is up to the people to stand up in defiance to such uncultured, uncivilised , unaccountable, governace by divisive, dishonest politicians whose interests are clearly not those of the people they are elected to lead.
