Patrick,
I wrote the rejoinder below to Daniel Pryce's piece. I found yours more nuanced though it doesn't go into the origins of the "xenophobia" being expressed by SA blacks.
Btw, is it really "fear" of black foreigners, or just an expression of insipid envy and hatred for people apartheid regimes had brainwashed them to see as inferior beings but who turned out to be more assiduous, more resourceful and more capable of achieving than them?
This is what I wrote:
Thanks for reminding Daniel that these xenophobic attacks on other Africans by S. African blacks predated Zuma. I was dumbfounded to read some of what Daniel wrote.
Whereas Zuma can be blamed for the lukewarm reaction to the initial attacks - failing to deploy the full force of the Police and the Military -
he cannot be be faulted as the cause of the xenophobia, the seed of which was planted during the apartheid era. I need to write my own full article to explain this.
Ironically, the bestiality we are seeing exhibited by S. African blacks who had been brainwashed by successive Apartheid regimes to see themselves as superior to the rest of Africans and were lucky to be living in SA, and shldn't even see themselves as savage Africans up north who were being ruled by brutal dictators and engaged in killing each others off on a industrial scale in all kinds of civil wars compared to what happened at Sharpeville, simply demonstrated that SA African blacks have come into the African fold! They are simply behaving like fellow Africans up north!
Anybody heard of Busia and the Aliens Compliance Order? Black Maria incidences in Nigeria and Ivory Coast? Sacking of Ghanaians from Nigeria and the many order expulsions in other African countries? We can breathe a with relief that the outrages were not state organised as it were in all these cases.
As I write, I bet some mentally jaded Akan has written on Ghanaweb about deporting Ewes to Togo for taking their jobs and what not! And, Pryce is writing what against Zumah and SA?
Let's deal with our own xenophobia first before blaming others.
--------------------------
So my rejoinder, corrected for typos, ended. If I manage to get some time, I might write a full length article deepening on the issues raised there. Yes, we cannot be writing like we haven't read or heard that 5 million people have lost their lives in the Congo DRC since the mid-90s! They were not killed by Martians! Fellow Africans killed them! Yes, Africans killing Africans! Anybody still in denial, or in a vacuum?
