"South Africans will kick down a statue of a dead white man but won’t even attempt to slap a live one. Yet they can stone to death a black man simply because he’s a foreigner"- Robert Mugabe-
It's very sad that an African can call another African a foreigner. Apparently, South Africa is forgetting how the rest of the continent stood with them in their fight against Apartheid. Now that the war against apartheid is over, does it mean that they arise against their own? Where are the Values of Ubuntu they strongly believed in? Is that the South Africa Nelson Madiba Mandela spent 27 years in jail for when he had the option of choosing a good life at the expense of the rest of South Africa? It beats logic that we can chose to direct our energy to the wrong areas where as we could do much more than we imagine only if we had a spirit of brotherhood that our great leaders like Kwame Nkrumah and Julius Nyerere preached.
I stand to be corrected but I strongly understand that the only thing that could make someone kill another brother in circumstances such as this one, is luck of love and a sense of humanity deep within ourselves. Good people let us love each other no matter the situation, let us make Africa a better place than it was when we received it from our founding fathers who tirelessly fought for its restoration and redemption. Everyone is just as important no matter their nationality nor the skin color nor the language they speak nor the tribe they come from nor their economic status. I strongly believe and know that we can do this if we make personal decisions to live out love in words and in actions.
