Crime / Rise Against Xenophobic Attacks In South Africa by ayanfepeter007(m): 9:34am On Feb 22, 2017 |
Almost all nations of the continent (Africa) currently have internal issues of their own. Gambia with political instability, Libya and terror issues, Nigeria on economic crisis, Burkina Faso struggling over invading Islamist militants, Mozambique with wealth inequality, Congo and the rest with different issues. But much bigger and currently attracting global focus is the reoccurring xenophobic attacks in the South Africa. It is no news that these attacks actually started from internal issues which the South African government failed to resolve. Issues like unemployment rate among the citizens, believed unequal distribution of wealth, dominance of foreigners in the best zones in the society, lack of good foundational education etc. The question to be asked is are these enough reasons for the attacks on foreigners? Oh, I guess the South Africans are too quick to forget that one their economy driving force is their foreign investment in different countries in Africa, it is time the people realise that the continuation of this act could instigate fear and revenge on their citizens and investments outside their borders. Here we have a saying that when a goat has been chased to the wall, it turns back to fight. Though, you are raged over the pains, the poverty, the lies, the discrimination and segregation but the approach of resolution should be more diplomatic. Launching xenophobic attacks, I would say, be careful of what you wish for. I want to emphatically stress that the South African government have definitely failed the continent and not just her citizens. South Africa unlike other nations is the structural giant of Africa. A nation that has about 4 universities among the top 10 best universities ranking in Africa but yet, fails to educate her people. A nation with a buoyant economy strategy home and abroad but still, her populations starve in the face of unequivocal distribution of wealth. Let the Government know that the day is still young for them to write their wrongs. Get down to work, correct what needs to be corrected before it is too late. After the recent occurrence on February 5, 2017 in the suburb of Rosettenville, Johannesburg, which involved attacks against foreigners including Pakistanis, Nigerians, and other Africans, The High Commissioner of South Africa to Nigeria was being summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during which government’s concerns on the matter was been brought to his attention. The Ministry urged the South African government to take the strongest measures to protect the lives and property of foreigners living in South Africa. It also urged South Africa to bring to justice the perpetrators of the `heinous crimes’ against other nationals in the country. That is simply the face of a drum I am sure the South Africans and their Government are not prepared to listen to neither dance to its beat. Right now, I would say expect nothing, only if this heinous act is subsided. Nigeria Government is yet to take actions because it is yet to be forced to, same as other powerful nations whose citizens suffer same fate. They should always remember they have families, friends (citizens) and investments outside the shores of South Africa, protection of the foreigners among them is protection for their people who are also immigrants in other nations. After the incident that took place between March to May 2015, I could not but wonder why the media was been accused of fueling the problem, "You guys in the media manufactured stories. Social media and some of the mainstream media houses manufactured stories."- Ndabezinhle Sibiya, a spokesman for KZN premier's office said. "So somehow social media had contributed to the perpetuation of xenophobic sentiment and the flaring of xenophobic violence," Ngubane stated. January 2017, the body of a young Nigerian businessman based in South Africa was sent home to be laid to rest, according to his brother he was a victim of the xenophobic attack. Would social media users related to this person keep quiet? While foreigners are been killed, are the media expected to be silent? These attacks are not just war against the immigrants but also against the world and the media. But at this point, South Africans most especially the government should know that they are yet to see to real power behind media. Different families are left to mourn and the media is expected to be silent. Experience have revealed over time, wars fought through media are always won by the media. When the media start, nations like Nigeria would be force into action. The Government should therefore act fast before external forces set their stage. The media would play the beat, the government of Nations affected would do the singing while the South Africans might be forced to dance to it. Lessons should have been learnt from Jammeh of Gambia and from Mali transition. Let the government take steps to aid the quick resolution of the problem; 1. The need to realise apartheid system is over, the government should therefore bridge the difference between the rich and poor, the white and the black, the literate and illiterate. 2. Educate the citizens on the need of foreign relationships with the country and the benefits. 3. Provision of social amenities even to the grassroot level for the benefits of everyone. 4. Reduction of unemployment rate among the literates, the semi-literates, and illiterates. 5. Housing scheme should be done as a matter of urgency for the citizens, to ease the strenuous process of owning a house. 6. The armed forces of the country also need to be educated and strengthened. 7. Peaceful coexistence should be promoted These are few though, but a good way to start. I therefore make a plea to both the South Africans and the Government to put a stop and not a pause to this to avoid hassle. Let the clamour for peace stop at nothing, for when rage is let out of its cage our world would be in shambles. God bless Africa! http://www.latestjetinfo.com.ng/2017/02/south-africans-should-curb-their.html?m=0 |
