South African authorities have re-established order—for now—in Soweto and other Johannesburg townships, after a week of looting of foreign-owned shops and violence in which four people were killed.

The 19-year-old mother of an infant who died after being trampled by a mob during the looting said she was accidentally caught in the street chaos. Some witnesses, however, said the mother was herself pillaging when she was knocked down with her baby strapped to her chest. …

Damn! They got Mexicans in South Africa now?

[Iron Munro]

Where do they think they are?

Ferguson Missouri?

New York City?

Oakland California?

They’ve got Third World Africans who compete with native blacks for jobs and other economic opportunities.

Whites are not that badly off.

Let’s hear it from El Jefe Jeb how stealing jobs from your own countrymen is still an “act of love.”

[Bon mots]

All those immigrants taking advantage of those poor African blacks...

Sound so familiar...

Bump!

“...Whites are not that badly off.”

For the time being... at least for many (but not all as there are also many impoverished white South Africans) who manage to avoid being murdered.

The ANC has been booting white South Africans off farms Mugabe-style since the Mbeki regime.

Oh, oh. South Africa's impoverished blacks [thanks to their communist dominated ANC government] aren't happy with trashing whites. Now they're hunting down other prosperous minority groups, notably “Asians” — Indians and Chinese. These parasites are out to kill the host and for South Africans it's a death by ten thousand cuts. South Africa is about 10 years behind the failed state of Zimbabwe on its border to the North — and the destruction being wrought by majority blacks is accelerating.

I think they usually attack other blacks whether Somali or others.

“The violence there started Jan. 19 in an area called Snake Park when a Somali national allegedly shot and killed a 14-year-boy who was among a group of people attempting to break into his shop.

Crowds hit the streets, targeting immigrant-owned shops in riots recalling anti-foreigner violence in 2008 that killed about 60 people. President Jacob Zuma, who was attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, instructed his government to restore order. “

“Prince Linda Dube, a 19-year-old Soweto resident, described immigrant shop-owners as “greedy,” arguing that they undermine locally owned shops.

“They are taking job opportunities,” he said. “It’s better if they hire our local people to help them out.””

Louis Theroux did an episode: Law and Disorder Johannesburg.

The security guys controlling the housing projects were asked why they weren’t reporting the Nigerian drug dealer. They were on good terms with him and said another 5000 Nigerians will replace him anyway.

Damn! They got Mexicans in South Africa now?

Damn, now that was funny! It will be like that here in a few years but the haves want them here to be part of the have-nots. American loving middle class patriots will be hunted down.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Whatever is going on, its racism. Blacks attacking Black interlopers. Where was Al Sharpton at this time?
