I have been keeping an eye on the way in which the international media has been portraying this crisis…and yes, it IS a crisis. CNN has shown some really chilling footage of what has been going on. I happened to tune in as they were showing a person dying while Police officers stand by and watch. Now this is just unacceptable!

We cannot let this continue, I understand some of the underlying problems and causes, and most of them are political, it is unnecessary to take out our frustrations with government on innocent people. 

These people have come to South Africa to seek a place of peace and opportunity, fleeing from wars and dictators and we treat them like this! Please, we must end the violence.

If it doesn’t end soon, we could see serious financial, political and social repercussions. I love this country and I can only hope that sanity will return soon.
