Even if they were Nigerians, they had no right to walk to any place and start shooting at anyone. I wish our justice system was as good as the Chinesse, plug them against the wall, put a bullet in their brains.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The real effects of this undocumented Zimbos will be felt in this country for decades to come. The number of South Africans who are killed,robbed and raped by this ungrateful and spiteful Zimbos is staggering.
In Venda alone,21 aged grannies were raped by the same Zimbo. They would never have been raped if somebody did not decide that,because she and her family have 24/7 body guards, millions of undocumented Zimbos are welcome to roam the streets of S.A. day and night.
This deaths and persecution of locals is the real lagacy of our Home Affairs department and those that were supposed to be enforcing our immigration laws. You will not find anything like this anywhere else in the world.
The murders and robberies,including farm murders and farm robberies have an even more undesirable potential of racial conflict as seen in many right wing rethoric.
After so many deaths,rapes and robberies of South Africans by this undocumented Zimbos and others, What else must first happen for this issue to be taken seriously?

It is a fact that we were let down by our government,this is not referring to the current government but to our post a.partheid government right from Madiba's tenure. All that mattered to them was to secure the well being of their own families and then to please their former African hosts by opening up the rest of the country to all without any foresight or control systems put in place.
To host our fellow Africans was the
Millions of our people lost their jobs to this foreigners,small business people like spaza,painters,street corner mechanics,street vendors and others had to make way for this influx of illegal foreigners without any preotection fom their own government.
Now its deaths,robberies and rapes at the hands of the same foreigners.
Great work from our law enforcement guys but this should have been foreseen before it even becomes work for the law enforcement people.

when we deal with them township style we are accused of xenophobic and babarianism. I have had my fair share of crime perpetrated by Zimbos; now i shoot first and ask questions later. A few weeks ago on an outing one broke into one of our chalets. He was unfortunate that we caught him while trying to steal. The hiding he got he will not be forgetting soon as we left a few permanent scars on his body too. I will do it again tomorrow if need be.

Above fifth line should have read:
To host our fellow Africans and other refugees was the right thing to do, but, to open up the country's borders to millions of unidentified and untracable foreigners without first ensuring the safety of our citizens and stability of the country, was very reckless and creating unnecessary pressure on our economy and law enforcement .It is that recklessness that took the lives of citizens like Lucky Dube and Corrie Sanders. Nothing else. People must admit that they got carried away and sold out our country and people in the process.

The country has become a far more dangerous place for its citizens because of this undocumented and false documented people. Especially given the fact that they are mostly very spiteful and murderous in their approach to locals,black or white.
If you were seen dealing with the criminal,there would have been photos of the beat up Zimbo splashed across the whole world with cries of xenophobia in S.A. A few politicians would have even made a statement about the incident to score points internationally but, if its their own citizens dying at the hands of foreigners,you hear nothing from them calling the foreigners to order.
They are the ones that allowed them into the country but we citizens are the ones that directly bear the brunt of their presence here. We need refugee centres along the borders asap. Then the clean up of the whole mess must begin and only properly documented refugess can remain before many more South Africans perish.

R.I.P. Corrie a true South African hero and legend.

If these are the guys who did it, I hope they go to jail and get gang raped
till they bleed and contract AIDS, Syphillis, and Gonhorroea.
They deserve nothing less.

Yes, Our Reggae Legend was murdered by foreigners in his home country as was many farmers along the Zim border. As you can see,one of the Zim murderers of Corrie has murdered another local farmer in a separate incident.
They are moving to inland farmers now. Remember Eugene Terreblanche was also murdered by a Zimbo and he was a farmer too.
Credit to our law enforcement agencies who cracked all this cases,but,like I say,this things should have been thought about before they even became work for law enforcement.
Allowing the presence of millions of this undocumented people in the country to score political points was just reckless and inconsiderate.

Last week a gang of zimbabweans invaded a homestead in the west rand and murdered an inocent teenager over a cellphone. the father was shot too but he survived. I repeat the most of violent crime in SA is commited by foreigners. What are South Africans supposed to do to protect themselves under this siege of foreigners. remember we do not have anywhere else to go. we cannot run to britain claiming the country owes us for colonising us.

Truth hurts, I know a number of people who have been hijacked some shot and killed by a Mozambican gang that operates mainly in Ekurhuleni at places like Kwa-Thema, Tsakane,Daveyton and Duduza. This gang mainly deals with cars.

Our government has let us down in a big way. Just go to crime line website and check the identities of the ''most wanted criminals'' there. They are 99,9% foreigners !! From robbing banks,filling stations and etc. Rhino poachers, 99% foreigners , mostly Mozambicans ! 8 girls were kidnapped in KZN this past month, one was shot dead point blank by foreigners !!

What more must be done !!

The longest lasting damage that this foreigners are inflicting on our country,is the negative international opinion about crime in S.A. This affects our whole economy because all this murders are not seen as foreign murders but S.A. Crime.

Your question is right, What more must happen before we see real political will to reverse their blunder? Must we wish that this foreigners shoot or rape one of this politicians relatives or even mothers like they do with other citizens' mothers?
