Racial intolerance in South Africa is despicable


I ponder where our world is heading given all the turmoil in our world today. I listened to the news on radio this morning about the zenophobic violence committed in South Africa by blacks against blacks-- South Africans taking revenge on Zimbabwians claiming these refugees were stealing their land, goods, houses, jobs and even their women. There were reports that some were being burned alive.

What on earth have we done to allow people to swerve so far to this side, that people actually stood by and watched this all happen?

I pray for peace and tolerance. I pray for God's guidance and his understanding.

Please join me in prayer.

I have a feeling that it is more politically motivated than anything else. The people that are looting and killing are using the fact that they steal jobs etc. as an excuse. For me the fact that the Chinese weapens are being distributed right now while the violence started are just too coincidental. Someone is trying to force the Zimbabweans back.

What is frighting is that people are being killed, both in South Africa and in Zimbabwe. The whole world can see that Mugabe is planning mass murder in Zimbabwe, what will it take for the world to take action!

Hi there, just had to pop in to say hi.
