HRW calls for arrests after attacks on foreign natioanlsThe Human Rights Watch urged South African authorities to prosecute the perpetrators of deadly xenophobic violence. To me it appears like SA leadership enjoys to see foreigners being attacked and killed. Their stuff looted. They do nothing about it. They must just come clean n say everyone with a foreign background leave SA weather documented or not. It's sad bcz black South Africans only attack black foreigners n mainly their neighbors n politicians are using foreigners as a campaign tool. SA poverty was not brought by foreigners. Don't use foreigners as a scapegoat to cover mismanagement of the economy. SA is producing graduates every year and no jobs. So the graduates want to work in farms n as hse keepers bcz the are the easily available jobs. Chinese are taking over n enriching their country n that is fine bcz they have a light skin. It's shame hw black think.
