South Africa migrant attacks: Nigerians ask... 'Why can't we live with peace?'
2019-09-05
[Aljazeera] Johannesburg, South Africa - Black smoke fills the air as Frank Uzoma stands outside his torched car dealership on Jules street, east of the Johannesburg city centre.

"I can't do anything here in South Africa any more," the 39-year-old Nigerian said on Monday, recounting the unrest that had begun the previous afternoon.

"Many people's shops and property have been destroyed or looted. We came here with nothing and what we have is now disappearing."

Uzoma, who has lived in South Africa for 16 years, is one of several hundred foreign nationals in the country's economic hub left destitute after several days of looting and violence.

Over 100 charred vehicles litter Jules street, an automotive and light industrial hub, amid burning tyres and broken glass.

#9  I just hope Uncle Sam and friends don't go charging in with good intentions, when China moves in the future to re-enslave the lot of them.

China doesn't need them as slaves. They will eliminate them and repopulate with their own people.

Didn't pay his "Protection Fees" to the local gangs, eh? That silly Rule of Lawâ„¢ that the e-vile oppressive Colonialists wanted to maintain has been replaced by a toxic atmosphere of systemic corruption by private parties and the government.

#5  ...if the SJWs think this country is racist it's largely because they haven't been immersed in Asian 'culture'.

#2  Tribes. They were tribes before the white Europeans showed up, they'll be tribes again after last vestiges of transients are gone.

Translation: They're on to us. Being a professional thief and common criminal no longer pays.
