Little would one have thought that the recent human
attacks on foreigners in south Africa would come to pass forgetting so soon how
these other African countries supported them in one way or the other through
their struggle in the days of apartheid. Today, they brothers and sisters in
south Africa being nationals of other African countries are seen as a treat and
there is that urgent need to get rid of them even to the point of executing
them as part of the process.
The escalation of criminal activities and crime
doesn’t mean that foreign nationals from other African countries are
responsible. Crime and assassinations
have exited in that land for long before the black rule. Great leaders and
fighters in the days of apartheid lost their lives in the struggle for black
rule. Despite the fact the our skin colour is black doesn’t make us devils.
They south Africans should remember the words of Lucky Dube “we are all made in
the image of God regardless of our skin colours. We are different colours, one
people. ”
The level at which the attack has reached indicates
that the people of the republic of south Africa really mean business and should
be stopped by all means. Our leaders, worldwide have to interfere and take the
necessary actions as soon as possible in order not to waste more precious lives
in this barbaric xenophobic attacks of other African nationals residence there.
The president of the republic of Ghana and the chairman of the African Union
(A.U) has responded appropriately by condemning their actions. Our people over
there need our prayers but whilst we remember them in our prayers, let us hope
that our leaders will not only condemn the killings but find an amicable
solution to this near to come genocide. We don’t need reports, all we need is
results.
