Why Do We Want to Kill Our Half Brothers and Half Sisters?

South Africans: Why you are cruel to others?
Have you thought clearly about this xenophobia thing?
Do you know that were celebrating together this World Cup thing?
Do you know that we are all Africans?

Why don't you want other Africans?
Do you know that we all have one colour?
Do you know that we are all on one planet?
Do you know that we share one God?

These people are good to us
Losing them is like losing hope
We must show humanity
Let us welcome them with our warm hands

Some of them are good to us
They make business opportunities for us
Sometimes they help us
We share the same skin colour

  1. "Let us welcome them with our warm hands." Amen, Noluyolo. What better use for warm hands than welcoming? Great reportage on, and exploration of, a tough social issue with which South Africa grapples.
