Stars boycott South Africa over xenophobic attacks
BBC ^ | September 4, 2019

Posted on 09/04/2019 4:27:14 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

Africans have come out to boycott South Africa after days of looting and violence targeting foreigners in which five people died.

Nigerian singers and Zambia's football team are among those in the boycott.

South Africa's Minister of Social Development Lindiwe Zulu told the BBC the rioters feared losing their jobs to foreigners.

The country has become a magnet for migrants from other parts of Africa.

Who has boycotted South Africa?
Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy vowed to never go to South Africa again until the government "wakes up".

He tweeted that he himself had had his own "xenophobic experiences at the hands of South Africans " in 2017.

Another Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, announced on Twitter she was pulling out of a concert she had planned to perform at in South Africa in September, condemning "the barbaric butchering of my people".

Yep.

All brands of leftwing totalitarianism have same goals.

Leftists simply rebrand/remarket an older brand name that has become tarnished.

What about the LONG-TERM goals of Communism, Nelson?

That’s when they kick your “Freedom” to the curb.

First they promote socialism and free stuff, and then people never see the color of the money as all the money is used to consolidate power , pay apparatchiks and soldiers and fund a foreign police and governments for jobs the local ones would not do...

As Bush said it sinisterly, Mexicans come here to do jobs Americans wont do. Many of the new DHS recruits need not apply if they are not recently US minted from families of illegals...

Everyone knows the Mandelas on the left in that photo, there, but less than 1% who see that photo know who is REALLY in charge, the man on the right.

And what HE IS.

South Africa’s economy is still light years ahead of the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Xenophobia LMAO! The invaders say,”You will let us in and we do what we want or we will kill you.” Not to sound idiotic,but one could say things were better under the Whites. It generally goes the same for most former colonies outside of the USA but even the USA is being colonized and turning into a sh*thole.
