Xenophobic attacks in South Africa, black on black violence, 22 people lost their lives so far.

Xenophobic violence is on the rise in the world class African country South Africa. 22 people have been brutally murdered since the violence broke out in the notorious ghetto (township) of Alexandra, north of the popular city Johannesburg.

Great numbers of mobs in and around Johannesburg attacked foreign nationals, namely from Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique. The fellow African brothers and sisters from neighboring countries are being robbed, raped, stabbed, shot and burnt alive, showing no mercy to women and children through-out the Economic hub of South Africa, Gauteng province.

About 2000 people have been misplaced and left homeless, fleeing their home fearing for their lives following the break of xenophobic violence. One of the victims said " They came to my house asking me where I come from and saying that i should pack up my bags and leave, otherwise die here in South africa. I ran and found refuge at the local police station where hundreds of us are kept for safety".

Both the presidents of South Africa and the African National Congress (MR. Thabo Mbeki) and (MR. Jacob Zuma) have made public statements condemning the violence and asking for more police control, but the situation is getting out of control and worsening as more people are losing their lives, due to the attacks and violence. The minister of National Defence said it was not yet time to send out the South African Army for support, until the South African Police Services requested so, of which they haven't to date, instead say the situation is under control.

This cruel violence is spreading faster than a deadly virus, killing and destroying people's lives as it goes. It's so painful to see that in this time and age, African people are killing one another with no pity. Where has the spirit of UBUNTU (The Godliness in humans or Humanity) gone? We see African blood flowing down the sacred African soil, shed by African hands. What a shame.

The violence is now spreading to other South African provinces, threatening the National security of the country. How many more people have to lose their lives?

Blessings to you for this post. I have been reading about this and looking at the horrible pictures and praying that is does not turn into what happened in Kenya few months pass. I wombman have been trying to get some overderstanding of why?? Why is it necessary to kill anyone becuase of where they are from!! InI just dont understand, and it makes I cry for the loss of life, so violently. When I think that this is what is going on right now! JAH gave us all this earth, how can one man decide that another must die because of the part of Africa they are from. He is still your brother. I sis always try not to judge others especially when not knowing all of the details but it hurts me that Africa is bleeding the blood of its own again. I pray this senseless loss of life ends soon. Let us all pray!!

Pretoria the City is still safe, the main points of violence are the informal settlements and the townships (ghettos) where there's the most of poverty. The city itself is still safe.

UBUNTU (The Godliness in humans or Humanity) ....
INI HAVE COME TO THE SAD CONCLUSION THAT HUMANITY IS ONLY AS CONSCIOUS AS THE RESPONSE TO THE STIMULUS AND TIMES THAT THE INHABITANTS ARE EXISTING IN. THE CAPTIVES BECOME AS INHUMANE AS THEIR CAPTORS. IN TIMES OF NECESSARY DEFIANCE AND FORGE FOR FREEDOM, THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF SOLIDARTIY, A SENSE OF INITY OF COMMONALITY FOR A CAUSE. IN THE TIMES OF COMPLACENCY, OF LACK OF DIRECTION, THE TENDENCY IS FOR THE ELEMENTS OF PURE EVIL TO INFILTRATE THE SOULS OF THE FEW INCENSED BY HATE, CARNAL INHUMANITY EXPLODING INTO THE UGLINESS OF MOB MADNESS. SADLY AGAIN, INI SAY THE EVIDENCE OF SELF HATE AND THE 360 OF RACISM DUPLIUCATING THE EFFECT ON AFRICA AND AFRICANS BECOMING THE SADISTS ,THE CATIVES BECOMING THE DEVILSHMENT OF THE CAPTORS SOME 500 YEARS HENCE TO TODAY!
LET DE I'S IDITATE ON FREEING THE BONDS OF THIS DEVISHMENT UPON I BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN BONDAGE STILL, A MENTAL BONDAGE OF THE SPIRIT AND SOUL, UNDER THE FORMULA OF "CONQUER AND DIVIDE"

This makes InI cry. Such violence is usually motivated "from the top down" -- i.e. it is politically motivated and encouraged by the "top ranking" people, just as the political violence in Jamaica was proven to be enabled and encouraged by the CIA in the '70s. If the masses of people can be convinced to fight among one another and kill one another, then the common people are diverted from the real issues which those in power are seeking to implement, and those issues are always related to money and resources. This is why the government of South Africa is saying that "the situation is under control" while it is evident to all that it is not. The burning question is how this fact can be communicated to those persons who are physically involved in the violence, so that they know that this is what the "top ranking" people want them to do. A united Africa has the potential (in resources and intelligence) to be the strongest and richest "nation" on earth. Other powerful nations fear that potential. Therefore, there is quite probably much more to the motivations (including covert forces from outside Africa) that are promoting and enabling the current civil strife in Africa than first meets the eye. It is somewhat dangerous to speculate as to what those forces constitute and where they originate from, but InI can be sure that history will reveal the truth. Unfortunately, InI are also part of the masses and there is little InI can do at this time but to pray for the deliverance of these suffering people from this evil that has come upon them.

as a suth african i am so disgusted by what the idrens are doin . i dont understand how th eini could kill each other just because i is frm next door makes no difference because ini is one. then after al of this did ini parents who fought against slavery and oppressin fight so that ini could kill eac other. this is pathetic Xenophobia shuldnt even be an issue especially amongst black people. i dont get it how is it that a balack person is reffered to a kwere kwere( slang term for foreigner) but a white person is just a forienger. this nonsense is more dominant amongst the black nation which is down right wrong. i dont know why ini is letting lucifer play his tricks on ini especially jah people of the black nation. but as ini say its life the mark of the best is here it is dominating and ini are entertaining it.

Blessed me bredren. Much Love I sned to the I. I am dissapointed by my people who hurt their own people. I'm against killing and hurting of any kind, but to have African kill and hurt African is a disaster a shame and a blasphemy to the Creators of Life. Jah and Mother Nature will avenge the lives of all lost. You cannot spill blood and get away with it. There's no way. The Law of Karma works accordinly.

Love is the Highest order of Life and no one owns the Land. The Land and all that is in it belongs to YHWH, no man or woman can own the Land which JAH gave for all to live peacefully in. Much love and Apology I send to the I and all the people of Zim. I Love you brothers and Sisters as my own family, for you are my family. Yes SA doesn't even listen to reggae as a country. There's no social consiousness of Love, UBUNTU and UNITY. We need to do someting about our minds and the way we think.

Which part of SA lives the man, i would like to meet the I one time. May the Grace and guidance of Selassie I and the Holy Queen bless and abide with the I. Give thanks for the responce and i'm terribly SORRY for the hurt caused by my people on your people, and to think we're all one people. Blessed Selah

Eek a Mouse arrested in Dare County NC

Just got the word tonight and found this on the wavy.com site. Mr. Mouse was just here in VA . He had a nice show and stayed a wile after. He posed for a few pictures for me and with me and told him I wanted to get he whole 6'6" in the picture. We laughed and went our own ways. He was very down to earth. He told me I had real Rasta Woman vibes and that was it. Hope for the truth. Jah guide.
