Violence

Violence still going?

Violence in South Africa is a prominent issue. South Africa has a very high rate of assults, raps, killings, not to just one age group but all ages; compared to other countries. Most people decide to leave South Africa because of this reason. Members of New Zealand's community have rallied to protest violene against immigrants in South Africa. Around 60 people, or so have come together to try to stop the brutal killings. People were burned alive, these people NEED justice for these victims. The South African government needs to bring prospectors to justice as well. The majority of this was caused by xenophobia, only targeting foreigners. Some South Africans have tried to organize peace marches, towards the New Zealand government, that they could have some sort of assortment to the South African government who should stop these horrible acts and bring all the violence to justice.

Violence is something that I am against. There are so many more ways to settle differences rather than hurting innocent citizens. Article That article gives somewhat of an idea of what was going on with the  xenphobia. This has been in the news for awhile and not much has been done to help these people get away from the violence. The governements have differences, but they result in such violence just because they can. This whole situation has totally shattered the country's reputation for tolerance. All South Africa was trying to do was HELP the Zimbabwean problems. I just think despite any difference someone may have violence is never the way to settle problems.

This picture breaks my heart.
