xenophobia
Sad. Sad. Sad. During Apartheid lots of South Africans were welcomed in neighbouring countries…15 years democracy and now? black brothers chasing black brothers away. Thousands of refugees on the street. The violence has been in the Townships and mainly towards foreign (black) shop owners. I know that the media has been showing you all some dramatic photographs…..and NO the situation is NOT ok, but we are OK! I will keep you all up to date. Yesterday we wanted to drive to town to donate blankets and clothes, but we didn’t have to drive any further then our own street….a man from Sudan spends his nights together with wife and 2 children in front of the church. Why does the church not open her doors?
