South Africans Want To Leave China Over Xenophobia by TMKsouth: 6:49pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
South Africans of different races living in Guangdong and Guangzhou in China have detailed to Eyewitness News how they have been humiliated and discriminated against while being forced into quarantine for 14 days at a hotel despite testing negative for COVID-19 with no explanation. They complained of discrimination, saying they were isolating Africans and placing them in quarantine amid the COVID-19 outbreak on the African continent. ENGLISH TEACHER On Friday, Laurike Wilkens, a Johannesburg resident who works as a teacher in Foshan in the Guangdong province, was put into mandatory quarantine with no explanation as to why. “Six men showed up at my house, telling me I have to go into quarantine and I only have an hour to pack my bags." "I have been asked to provide details of when I arrived in the country - a copy of my passport and visa". FREE STATE PROVINCE Meanwhile, a Free State mother from Harrismith – who wanted to remain anonymous – also told EWN she was forced by the Chinese government to do a COVID-19 test at a local hospital at a specific time. She also doesn’t know why she has been flagged by authorities there. “When I arrived there, I realised we were only Africans there,” she said. CALLS TO BE EVACUATED The Chinese embassy in South Africa told EWN on Tuesday it noted and paid “high attention” to these claims. The embassy said miscommunication between the authorities might have contributed to mixed messages, but insisted all South Africans were treated with the same rights as locals. Many South Africans have indicated that they would want to be repatriated home if the opportunity arose. https://ewn.co.za/2020/04/15/south-africans-say-china-is-discriminating-against-africans-over-covid-19/amp

Was informed the Chinkos have got a vaccine for the covid19 virus guess they need the blacks as test subjects. Chinese can do anything I just don't trust them. Lets be wary of the Chinko doctors here in Nigeria because they have plans 1 Like |

Better people. But on a serious note they shld feel how it is to be discriminated by fellow human being hw much more Black to black. Now they shld tell their people back home to treat fellow Africans with dignity. 2 Likes |

IronGalaxy: It's not 'white-worship', it's just facts. It would be stupid to live among black South Africans if I decide to visit based on what I read everyday online. I've never ever met a black southie, and I'm not really keen about meeting one. The whites were not the ones who killed Lucky dube to steal his car thinking he was Nigerian. They were not the ones burning Nigerian-owned businesses and looting their shops. Let's quit sentimentalism and be realistic here. 2 Likes |
Re: South Africans Want To Leave China Over Xenophobia by IronGalaxy: 10:51am On Apr 16, 2020 |
SciLab:That's the thing here I'm being realistic, you Nigerians are obsessed and totally worship white people. Its a well known fact Secondly, Lucky Dube was murdered by Mozambicans not South Africans, an indication of how the rest of Africans think of you And lastly I don't think any South African cares how some insignificant African from the slums of Port Harcourt thinks of them, whether you are keen on meeting us or not we honestly couldn't give a rat's ass. We don't want you in our country as it is, you're doing us a huge favour by not coming 6 Likes |
Re: South Africans Want To Leave China Over Xenophobia by SciLab: 1:32pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
IronGalaxy: The most insignificant black Africans reside in the slums and townships of Kwazulu natam or whatever its called. Being a black southie is means there a huge possibility of never escaping poverty and slum because you blame the whites, Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Angolans, Mozambicans for your woes, you hardly ever get out. Unlike here where people like Burnaboy, Ighalo, Wizkid, Naira marley etc rise from the ashes of the slum and poverty because there is no one to blame but ourselves. I don't worship white southies, we simply find them easier to relate with as fellow humanoids without being bugged down with the baggage of apartheid. Learn from Madiba, move on and get out of your xenophobic cocoons. Your minds are your biggest cage not the whites, Nigerians or other Africans that you blame for all your woes in Soweto. 4 Likes |
