How does it feel to see a moribund SA?

“I AM A Malawian, Zimbabwean, Mozambican, etc, looking for a job.” These ads became a common feature in print media, on community notice boards and at churches.

Locals were driven out of employment in their own country and felt the pinch. Today unemployment in South Africa stands at 34.4%.

Who is to be blamed? “South Africans are lazy and demand their rights. So let their rights hire them.” The economically empowered whites intimated their prejudice. Education was rendered useless and a mockery with young black graduates standing at intersections in full academic regalia in order to attract the attention of prospective employers.

Our African brothers and sisters betrayed us. Whites supported by the government used them as unwitting tools of racism, a divide-and-rule tactic was applied.

Non-existent xenophobia was fabricated, backed by the somnolent SA Human Rights Commission.

Welcoming Africans was well-intentioned to build and not to destroy the country. New vehicles were stolen and shipped across our borders, illegal drugs and goods were smuggled in, Home Affairs officials were bribed to acquire identity documents, police were also not spared to avoid arrest, negotiated labour laws were perverted and there were a host of other felonies. As a result, white racism and corruption have escalated.

You must have killed the goose that lays the golden egg. Beloved Africans, how does it feel to see a moribund South Africa?
