As a South African I am not proud at this moment, I sense a fear of we going to regret ourselves for these acts in the future.
Coward
We will regret this big time because we have turned all other African countries against us.
@@nontsikelelomathonsi5330You couldn't have said that any better..
People are currently too blind that they think after foreigners leave SA things will get better... I'm saddened by this
The Genaral certainly you will regret
The South African police betrayed the foreigners. What a shame!
Catherine Makumbi if only you knew what they do to their own you would be more ashamed.
da poliz dont want fornerz here
They do worse than just burn they're businesses. They are westernized clowns who let the white man run the country
@@warofmankind You just see what happens without the white man.
This pple they do wrong things Drugs .fakes documents
So are they going to call this the second apartheid or are they too afraid of being called racist?
Only Whites can be rasist so I guess not!
@@Paul4Krista20 Don't be a fool! Every one can be a racist, even black people.
@@SilvioSamuge there always someone who can't detect sarcasm^^
So much for that "brotherhood" nonsense that so many babble on about.
At the moment it is nonsensical. But in the future... who knows?
@@FreakyTeeth this comment didn’t age well sadly…
africa will never forget this.
Period
Sure💯
Yup
Nope !!!
As it happened over n over again in the past , it will continue to happen over n over again !!?!!
South Africans are westernized
This happens to some degree all over the world. A new group comes in and finds success and prosperity where the native born population could not for whatever reason. Resentment and suspetion grow. And in the end, violence.
@@ayyappanchithambaram4575 Sir, please speak more on this.
@@shawnone7415 what he means no matter the issues and we have a lot but indians stick together....mostly internet means its discussed but not violence to point of killing unlike in Africa...
@@Zsharma1 ok....got it....thought you had an inside track on Indian/Pakistan politics.
@@ayyappanchithambaram4575 understood,ty
@@shawnone7415 Nigerians started moving to South Africa. These Nigerians were doing well economically
On the behalf of all Congolese people, we no longer recognize South Africa as a part of the African Continent
It's not south Africa s fault that yu are suffering.south Africa is where it is because we fought hard.go back to Congo and fix ur problems.stop talking nonsense.
@@janseduma5076 f*** you talk about??
Lol! Congo
Jan Seduma I say the same about illegal migrants immigrating to Canary Islands in boats, they need to go back and fix their nations instead of fleeing to other nations.
Rather work on fixing your own damn country. You have your own problems with corruption! We have problems with fighting. Stop think South Africa is a place you can all go. It’s pretty much asking to die.
No Ambassy South African in all Africa.
We would be happy as well to not have a single person from other African country.
@@rushnande3731 So true we already have a rainbow nation to look after
South Africa is being overpopulated,almost nobody has a job schools are full so they should stop coming to sa
It’s a fcked up world we live in..
Agreed. The beast system of greed is what rules this world.
I hope soon very soon like 2025 South Africa will regret it when Ghana and Nigeria have a better government.
The potential they both carry is immense I hope those fights between us two will find an ending we're stronger together 🇳🇬❤️🇬🇭
That will never happen
Lol
It is not all of the South African people doing this
Fatima Bibi Bhyat it doesn't matter it's the whole SA. why don't we have that in Tanzania Namibia or Morrocco?
Believe me or not, Incidentally, in 1969 Ghana also expelled Nigerians from its country. Meanwhile and after, In 1983, the President of Nigeria, Shehu Shagari issued an executive order mandating immigrants especially Ghanaian without proper immigration documents to leave Nigeria or they would be arrested according to the law. So if South Africa start this then it wont end there and will continue no matter what Ramaphosa do, other country will retaliate back which happen because South Africans also are in other country too working there.
SA for SA citizens. Enough is enough
Makes me not want to travel to other countries now, kinda fearing a bit for my life
Looks like the makings of Rawanda 2.0. Shame so easily to turn on each other.
Turn on each other? Africans were killing each other from one end of the continent to the other before Europeans colonized and brought peace, falling death rates, increasing life expectancy, literacy, education, and the modern world.
@@Ramiiam 😂😂😂Who educates you? Everyone knows that's the upside down. Just ask Euorpe. They admitted it in 2016 infront of the world. Direct quote. "We're sorry Africa there would be no Europe with you." Look into the full details of that statement. I guess the EU never wars😂. I guess Hannibal didn't bring down Rome. So silly.
@@missthis4140 provide evidence of this quote you cited
Europeans are thr root of all this problems.
Tribalism is a big thing in Africa
0:47 we are all africans but not all south Africans
Why isn't there no one asking "how come the whites and Indians were not attacked".
Because they did not shoot a taxi driver.
@@thandekanxumalo7983 scam ur father
All blood is RED
And sooooooo apartheid still lives in South Africa
Shame shame shame
Except now the oppressed have become the oppressors
South Africa had done everything it could to avoid violence. Doesn’t look like they can hold it back anymore. ANC is still failing us. We will fall without our government actually doing something.
EFF and DA are our best bet. We risk economic failure if EFF wins but to know it will settle the problems it’s urging. DA will give us strong economic growth but might widen the wealth gap more for a few years.
Eff says it will bring in more foreign people 😯. The day is plain rubbish.
But don't worry, soon we will have a pure Sintu government... watch the space
So are you supporting their killings??
Why arent more ppl talking ab this?
Because it's not white men being evil
Sadly, this looks just like Minneapolis, Minnesota USA 5/30/2020. There is no situation that violence and hatred makes better. Please stop. The prsident is correct. Love and respect to South Africa
There is no way i will ever encourage any Investor colleague of mine to invest into anything in South Africa. The Country doesn know what they are about.
who asked you to invest in SA or you just being forward,,,as if SA cares about your investment
@@sihlethomas6676 make sure you take your MTN out of Africa and make south Africa an island in Africa and close down your embassies and shoprites as well. Then no one will bother your country too. Civilization is not just a word but a practice
I am a True South African, Firstly I want APOLOGIZE for some of the unspeakable acts that have occurred to our brothers, NOT ALL OF US SOUTH AFRICANS ARE UNRULY AND SUPPORT THIS.
Many do. What will you do about it?
@@Asthfghl We have joined to supply some of the misplaced folk with blankets, in perishable foodstuffs, soaps ect.. In Richards bay.
@@unam9931 You're an idiot,A true southafrican can be any shade of colour. The indeginous Khoisan are now mostly mixed.
Back by the ANC government
Isn’t there any Police force in SA
These people must focus on fixing their countries ,SA has their own problems to deal with
That's sad, so sad. Poor humanity!
What kind foreigners? Chinese ? Europe? America?
Mostly fellow Africans which migrate to find jobs is SA
This is far worse than Apartheid living.
Job scarcity coupled with finite opportunities for the locals.
there is a prevalent issue at hand; massive socioeconomic
divide among the population with the majority left scrapping of the floor with
no means or ladder to progress.
Stuff like this is bound to happen -_-
First real, level head, fair assessment comment i have read. The idea that foreigners are making a success while the promises of economic freedom has never reached 80 percent of south africans. Lack of this.. lack of that..lack of hope only leads to venting on soft targets.
It's looking like a a horrible dreadful sad civil war...
People around should wake up Government Government Government even in your bedroom
In 1983 Nigeria expelled Ghanaians.
Adjoa Linda Dabo Ghana did the same so what’s ur point?? U support this
Get your fact right, ghanaians expelled nigerians first and they retalliated
Don't keep unnecessary hatred of ghana must go if you don't know the history and stop misleading people. don't start what will cost you. your statement is the retaliation of nigerians. Ask an older ghanaian of the history
You're just so heartless
Ghana deport Nigerians in 1969 and Nigerians retaliated in 1983
It can only lead to MORE POVERTY
That criminal, calling himself president of south africa should be taken to international criminal court!
And I thought Chinese Xenophobia was bad
Both bad
When there was apathied in south Africa we helped you to settle in our countries without papers it's hearting
we where no there as a young in1976 June 16 where was your favorite country when we die like flyers fighting for our black president to be free only after we fighting for our rights than Mandela sell us and say Freedom for Africans which southern African do come other countries with out permits
Which SAcn went to your countries, are you talking about those few politicians you kept in the refugee camps in the bushes like animals?
Its all about who wants to be in power , well guess what ? The one thats in power is going to go down with everyone else in the end .
I don't like that flag and you know why
Cyril, I truly agreed with your submission that lives, properties and livelihoods have been lost. But what have you done to address the issue. Address yourself to issue by executing law and order. Save further life loss
he must save life by deporting everyone back to their countries!!
Josh Flama not only Law and order but find Jobs for the jobless and reduce poverty.
i was BORN and RAISED in SOUTH AFRICA LIVE IN JOHANNESBURG .. I love All people and color just HURTS to SEE what as been happening here .. i Am A 44 YEARS OLD WHITE MALE my boss is A BLACK MAN. am friendly and loving person .. I Also FEAR my life to ..

And then Julia’s Malema says turn your hate to the white man instead of helping rebuild a nation
The police in South Africa were attacked by foreigners when they attempted to conviscate illegal goods from the shop owners. The second incident was when a South African taxi driver got shot infront of the police by a foreigner that sells drugs in the same area. All that you'll see now are the consequences
Thank you senzo, truth told. When South Africans retaliate all we hear is "south Africans lack brotherly love"
trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This is hatred and jealous to fellow Africans and other foreigners of other colour it hurts to see this im ashamed to myself a black south African
we dont even concede vendas as south africans so you dont have to be ashamed ....
Why do you live in fear guys go back home
Go we do care for Zuma or Ranaposa and the police 🚔they must go to he'll abo Satana
I've always felt that as a world traveler in the 80's this day would come. It's not safe for anyone in the world COVID19 represents the end of life.
This will eventually happen in America.
Why u say that
Many people will deserve it. For their lack of ability to notice patterns.
The South African government should have taken initiative to train tgeir people for various jobbs. White SouthAfrican business owners should also stop discriminating South Africans when it comes to employment. Give South Africans priority when there are vacancies. Because the truth is foreigners dont employ themselves its rich South African business owbers who decide who to employ. And rather than train south Africans at job, they chose to employ foreigners.
Its True brother the issue is our government who make empty promises. Then our South African brother blame African brothers for the failure and empty promises that have made by our government
South Africans have a third best education system on the continent, third literacy rate and 7 out of 10 best universities in Africa are from South Africa.
You need to look into African government and why are their people flocking into SA in large number running away from their countries while south Africans are not going in theirs
Now it will take time to re build the city becouse of stupidity youth
Its sad to say but us black south africans are just lazy people in general. it makes me said to admit that about my brothers. Not all South Africans are bad. I'm sorry for what has happened.
big up zimbabwe, big up MUGABE , no retaliation , that he been fighting our odds
Prayers from us . I wish I could help . I hate it here
Europe in 20 years?
Shut up
Africans must learn to respect each other. Africans must love each other and unite. Thank you
we can love one another, trade with each other and respect each other even if we are all in our respective countries, we dont need millions of millions of foreigners to come to SA and force their stay and tell us about loving one another
dont came to mozambique our full
People should sort out their own homes. You can't go to a country wherein 27% are I employed and increase competion. They go there with the hope of economic opportunities-and some do find it, but most don't-and increase competition. And we all know poverty leads to crime. What about the traffickers? Drug distributors? Rapists? Murders? People aren't telling both sides of the story because of this childish view of 'one Africa', which will quite frankly never work because African countries aren't getting their houses in order.... hence people are traveling to South Africa. Yes, not all foreigners contribute. And yes, the gov of S.A. needs to tighten borders, etc. Anyway. That's all.
Justice has already been served by the criminals in this case Mr. President. Justice is not always right but it is always real and brings with it a form of truth.
It wasn't just foriegners but also other Africans people from my country we're also killed there I feel like never stepping there ever
Please just go to Nkwanui Glen Nkwanui and listen to what he said about south Africa
But South Africans what it that you want
whether you start drawing the map of Africa from either South or from North it will remain Africa And South Africans you are just Africans with in Africa
whether you're Brown or not we are all Africans so let's develop love for one another
Don't be black people with black hearts
We want all illegal and legal immigrants with no critical skills to be deported back home, we want foreigners to be put in the refugee camps in the bushes far away from our communities. We want tougher immigration laws with very tired borders. We can love each other, trade with each other and still be Pan-Africanist even if we are all in our respective countries. Yes we are black ppl with black hearts so stop forcing yourselves on us
The irony of South Africa having xenophobia after all that made South Africa, South Africa.
I wonder how long it's going to take to fix the mess they've created in their own country.
Africans invaded Dutch built SA. Now they've taken over and are upset other's are invading. What comes around goes around I guess.
Very interesting....Dutch built S.A.. you are kidding....right?
South Africa in Europe? Bantus have been in SA for thousands of years...Ever heard of Bantu expansion?
@@humpparri2053 The infastructure, farming, plumbing, education, etc. That was not the natives of SA. Aparteid was the attempt of euro-decent people's to maintain what they built but was inevitably stolen away. The irony of the current South Africans hanging on to the shreds of what they stole from other's wanting a piece.
I have been watching eNCA news fr a month now I only see same people reading the news n yet South African say Foreigners have gotten their job opportunities..why can’t it employ more?
worry less about SA but more about your country. why is everyone in Africa trying to be in SA lets start there
Why I am skeptical about taking that leap!.Nuh Sah! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Pretty much what you expect
💔
It just took a few hours after I heard a group of South Africans playing this song 'Poor People Land' from Vybes Kartel, to spark an attack from foreigners
S.A why are you destroying your own country?
At least they don’t have to worry about being called racist.

After all that BIG DEBATE in 2014 ETC about how black/African you are. black south African have to come out of this past and build the nation as one, as at one time Avery country was like that .
I am just learnign about South Africa and seeing this just saddens me, Africa is such a beautiful country and xenophobia was the last thing i could think could happen.
SA is so pompous
I bet EFF is involved in this.
Came to see xenos get purged, am disappointed, in humanity.
shame less people
Brotherly love is in Heaven not in SA,leave SA to South Africans you continue receiving beatings and lm in support of South Africans 💯
Start the brotherly love somewhere else not only in SA , you've exhausted SA love and respect , Africa is big so unity can start in your countries then you can teach South Africans to do the same
Thank you peter for boldly saying this. You'll be surprised on how people comment on things they don't even know about. This was never a xenophobic attack from the first place , it is retaliation after one of our taxi driver was killed like a dog. Were we supposed to keep quiet just because we are South Africans?? Enough is enough!!
@Thandeka Nxumalo Mob justice do not get anything resolved, hold your politicians accountable.
@@jsim4010 like how the same Africans who ran away from their countries running from their own leaders did? yall expect too much from us
Offcouse we all Africans but fix your own country first and we can visit and come back and you can visit and go back
✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 TAKE IT BACK!!!! The government has not gone far enough to equalize the economy!!
Take what back? Do you mean kill more foreigners?
Blame the government of Africa for this because is not south African's running to zimbabwe or nigeria
This is wickedness
Black racism.
