'We all came from central Africa and are foreigners to the land of the Khoisan'

The thuggery actions by misguided conscienceless South Africans to our African and other foreign national brothers is satanic, barbaric and the highest order of pre-civilization. The problem with these South Africans is failure to be proactive and identify the economic gap existing that is being utilised by foreign nationals. They only realise such opportunities after foreign nationals have done so. Being reactive leads to nowhere.
I am also baffled by satanic images from across the Limpopo showing our fellow African brothers and sisters being butchered and mutilated in full view of the public, including media people(the ones who prefer to capture the most captivating picture or video of how a fellow human being is killed instead of saving that precious life), the police and the spectators. All these people are guilty of murder as they are directly or indirectly participating in eliminating lives.
I applaud the sentiments by Malusi Gigaba and Jacob Zuma as well as the positive sentiments from Julius Malema on xenophobia. I am equally disappointed by the political grandstanding utterances akhulunywe ngu Nomvula Mankonyane and Lindiwe Zulu. Please cde ministers be responsible in whatever you say because you are leading a nation. Induna enga ngezwe layo is the reason behind all these meyhem. Izwi lenkosi aliweli phansi!
Isisu somhambi asinganani! We all came from central Africa and are foreigners to the land of the Khoisan - isizwe saBathwa!
