Deadly parcel from South Africa vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
IN the colonial era, it was normal to see Whites brutalising and oppressing Blacks as aptly epitomised by the atrocious trans-Atlantic slave trade and other similar obnoxious acts. Although colonialism has effectively ended in Africa, the chilling news from the Rainbow nation simply shows that the equation has changed. In South Africa, Whites no longer brutalise Blacks. Rather, it is Blacks that are maiming Blacks. How sad! Brothers are now killing brothers.
According to the vision of the founding fathers of the AU, Africans should be able to seek legitimate livelihood anywhere in the continent. Unfortunately, that laudable vision is being dealt a deadly blow in South Africa. In what has now been termed as a xenophobic attack, reports have it that nationalists of other African nations have become targets of crude attacks by South Africans.
While it is logical to disapprove of what is going on in South Africa, our compatriots need to exercise patience and have faith in the ability of governments of the two nations to diplomatically sort out the issue. According to reports, leaders of the two countries are scheduled to meet in October in South Africa and chief among what they are billed to discuss is “issues relating to the wellbeing of citizens of both countries”.
