Though it is 100% true, South Africa has had for decades and throughout Apartheid, continuing through this very moment,a terrible ILLEGAL ALIEN problem, it has NOTHING at all to do with whites hiring them for lower rates than SA blacks, whites, and/or colored.The black ILLEGALS, came/come to SA because their own countries are war torn,starving them, and/or has no jobs.

For many decades, the military was stationed at the border with a few other countries and sent the illegals back, though some have always gotten through. Contrary to your statement, most of the illegals don't get jobs and starve, become criminals,etc.

I know that Blacks fled their homelands hoping to find work in South Africa. I vaguely remember some kind of strike in Soweto -- were the locals refusing to pay their electric bills? Despite living in a slum, they had electricity to begin with, unlike most Africans.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that businessmen hired cheap Black labor despite the fact that laws were eventually passed prohibited this. I stand corrected.

There have been many strikes/riots/whatever in Soweto. Now, many blacks, all over SA get electricity, refuse to pay for it and the whites are charged for the blacks' use, as part of their bills. Nice ? :-(
