South Africa - Proudly Xenophobic
By Tony Namate
“The political violence in Zimbabwe
has approached unprecedented levels not seen since the early 80's,
and I hope that sense will soon prevail to avoid full-scale genocide.
Zimbabweans have not been having a good time of late, but all
indications are that this is the darkest hour before the anticipated
dawn.
My
fellow countrymen were recently the targets of morbid racism (the
politically correct term is xenophobia) in South Africa. It is
unfortunate that some South African newspapers have displayed
xenophobic tendencies in this day and age of globalisation. The
sad thing is that they are allowed to get away with it by their
press ombudsman. So much for press freedom.” (quote from
Tony Namate's Website)
The Namate cartoons in this issue
are a commentary on this senseless African on African violence.
