I am appalled at the way people use very offensive and vicious words towards the whole Nation, I do understand that what is happening in South Africa is very disgusting, disturbing, hurtful, and just so wrong... This however does not give anyone the right to use such demeaning (South African women being ashawo, South African man being lazy) words to a nation as a whole. Let me make this clear, South Africa is not the few masses people usually tell you about, we (the majority) are just like any other normal African. We are respectful, We are loving, We are respectful mothers and daughters, We are present fathers, We are submissive wives, and we are accepting people. Not all South African people are raechet and rude ABEG. WE HAVE VALUES AND HUMANITY. I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE GENERALIZE IT CREATES HATRED AND DEMEANS A LOT. Its like when south africans say "NIGERIANS ARE DRUG DEALERS AND CRIMINALS" whereas they themselves have never encountered such a nigerian.
GENERALIZING IS WRONG....WE ARE ALL AFRICANS....and if we open our hearts we will find out that we are more similar than different...
I am a SOUTH AFRICAN and I am totally against xenophobia (so is most SAs), as we are all africans and as that should enjoy the benefits that our land has to offer us. It pains me to see that Africans hate each other this much

. I do however feel that the south african government can't stop these outbursts without fixing inequality and poverty and that can't be fixed without corruption being stopped and improving economic opportunities. Iff it were not for home affairs official collecting bribes, there would be no SA(can) giving excuses that foreigners are criminals because only the legit foreigners would reside in SA and i know a lot of good, hard working, legit, amaizing NON-SOUTH AFRICANS who are doing remarkeable things in SA and we are learning from them. Unfortunately they also face descrimination because people just assume that they are criminals. NOT ALL BLACKS ARE CRIMINALS, NOT ALL WHITES ARE GOOD, AND NOT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE GOOD HEARTED. NOT ALL NIGERIANS ARE DRUG SELLERS, NOT ALL SOUTH AFRICANS ARE DUMB, LAZY, RUDE....LET US ALL UNITE, we are just fighting over trivial things.
PRAY AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF XENOPHOBIA, THE FIGHT IS BEYOND PHYSICAL...
