Thye violent situation that swept many areas of South Africa has been covered by many news channels in both print and audio visual. The tragedy is that many peope lost their lives and others were displaced.  The hype of xenophobia hass been echoed by many people including many in government, the media, and ordinary people. The upper and  middle class were righteous in their condemnation of the incidents and they engaged in a flury of activities in collecting monies, food and clothing for the displaced people. Most of the displaced people are illegal immigrants. The displaced illegal immigrants fled into police stations and other community buildings. Clearly they could not stay there for a protracted length of time so, government acquired tents and began to move these illegal immigrants into some open spaces.

These open spaces are located near residences owned by upper and middle economic groups. A huge outcry has erupted by the two groups as they now claim that the illegal immigrants will commit crimes in their areas, their properties will devalue and they cite health risks to themselves and the environment.

I wonder why people are by nature such hypocrite?

Which country on earth allows illegal immigrants to flood their cities and rural areas?

Which country one earth permits illegal immigrants to enter teh  country at will?

Which country one earth allows criminals especially illegal immigrants to rob, rape and murder at will?

Which county will allow illegal immigrants to demonstrate in streets claiming, housing, eeducation, health care services, water and electricity while citizens are patient as they understand that the country comes from an apartheid past of over 350 years?

Does it mean these illegal immigrants think and believe that all South Africans are stupid and foolish morons who will be traumatized by them at will while an incompetent government dithers and their leading members fight for their political survival?

Do these illegal immigrants think that they can come into a country illegally, and do as they please?

Which people on earth will forever tell their government to take action against criminals and when government consistently fails to act in the best interests of their citizenss continue to accept their friends, relatives and immediate fammily members to be raped and murdered by unseen and undocumented people or for that matter by anyone?

Strange that no one seems to ascertain exactly what were the causes of the horrific violence that claimed 56 lives?

I also wonder why these people taht were affected did not go to their embassies and high commissions for help?
