It is really a Shame on us

My First Time#links#links#links

I’m with you on this one Maryjane, South Africa must learn to have some sense of hospitality on the people come from African countries, and the truth must be told to those who pretend to be Anti-Xenophobic while still calling a Zimbabwean or Nigerian amakwere-kwere. Most South Africans not only just Rhodes first year’s students are xenophobic and ignorant not that I exclude myself because I am also a South African. The way we treat our fellow Africans it’s like South Africa has a continent of its own outside Africa which makes us to be special and better than the other African countries. We tend to judge and denigrate black foreigners because they come from Africa, while admiring those ones from the western countries. Here at Rhodes the issue of Xenophobia is not really dealt with in public because people hide their true colours under carpet, they pretend to be innocent saints and when they are asked about how they feel about foreigners… the only respond you get is that they don’t have anything against them while they calling them by names.
