Xenophobia i thinks its a Mania...

My first day in Jonnesburg....all i hear is people killing their own brothers just because they were from another country. J'burg a strong financial centre for the continent of Africa. I just feel sad that people would profile others on the bases of nationality. People who fought for freedom from aparthid now slaughtering their own brothers. South Africa is so multi-ethic and full of various people. Its not fair to scapegoat a few based on nationality. What does the Govt do to these manicas....why dont they understand that thier attacks are not helping them but to bring their nation down. J'burg the tourist hub for the continent of Africa is in flames. The provience of Gauteng is in flames. What does the international socitey take actions. Do they sit back and watch. Flying over the continent of Africa its a real nice sight huge huge chunks of wasteland roads that have no cars but bicycles....i think i'am in rural India. I think i'am going to enjoy my stay in the dark continent.....

it is a problem ... and it is sad as you point out that there is a different kind of Apartheid now. We, who have been discriminated against because of colour and ethnicity are doing exactly what had been done to us. Yet, it is not surprising, given the nature of the human heart. The only true cure, as far as God is concerned, is a change of heart - a new heart. Humanly speaking, there may be other suggestions, but those will all be cosmetics ... they may change things for a while, but soon the make-up will fall off and the truth revealed. Theo
