Cry the Beloved Country, Again…
Posted by Jack Stephens on May 23, 2008
Ridwan, a South African blogger, blogs on the recent violence against immigrants in his country:
I know all the rationalizations for why gangs of South Africans are attacking migrants of the streets of our country. I know the deplorable conditions that are hardly hidden by the delusional capitalist flash of the ‘new’ era.
But I am not willing to make excuses for the barbaric murders (22 killed), beatings, and violent intimidation of poor migrants who live among us. They are simply wrong and immoral.
