MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHAT IS FREEDOM?


My Brothers and sisters what is freedom?

Thembelihle Mtshali

I am highly disgusted by our brothers and sisters in South Africa. I really don’t think this has anything to do with existence of foreigners in South Africa, since black African men are assassinating other black African men, not Indians, Chinese or whites. I sat down and thought about it. Why are you brutally hurting each other? I really fail to understand how could you murder and destroy innocent people? Those who are brave enough to take risks. Foreign men are not afraid to build a mini shop opposite a very big and successful supermarket and as far as leaving their home countries, their roots, their family so they could provide and progress. It’s like history is repeating apartheid times our great grandmothers and fathers were slayed for no virtuous purpose and currently our fellow South African are doing the same and more especially to their own race. What is wrong with black African society? They just don’t want to see another black individual develop the spirit of wealth. Black Africans have problems with each other they just can’t stand seeing another improving being fruitful. They are lazy and being spoilt by their president. I won’t point fingers because there’s absolutely no good reason for these xenophobic attacks, how do you live with yourself? This spasm won’t make you any richer or get you that million dollar job. This is absolute stupidity and it’s absurd. Attacking foreign owned tuck shops and stealing their goods won’t make you any healthier. Typical black men, who don’t want to wake up and be useful, see them in queues to play the National lottery. Wake up O sleeper, rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you.

I ask myself what is freedom. Who are we? Are WE not ONE? This reminds me of Ubuntu! “umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu” but our brothers and sisters have forgotten all about that. What example are we setting to the future generation? Solving issues by war? Really? Come on South Africans STOP XENOPHOBIA and be open to suggestions and not kill.

“DO TO OTHERS AS YOU WANT DONE TO YOU”
