Suhuyini does not know much about South Africa. He has only read its history in the books. How old is he to really know and understand the country's history? There are many of us in Ghana who lived there during the Apartheid Era, and can better educate him on what is really going on in the country. Apartheid has nothing to do with what the few misguided South African are doing to other Africans. We lived there and we know why these miscreants are behaving like that.

People are allowed to travel the world.
Nothing wrong with others visiting another country. Don't get it twisted !
There are Americans in Ghana even though America has prosper, and one of the highly respected country.

People are refusing to see the Onuapade3 going on right under our very eyes.

Is someone stealing for John Mahama so that he can live as an arabian king when he is kicked out of power in 2029? Is an Iblahim stealing for John Mahama? qoute Johne Mahama.

Indeed the only difference between gonja mafia and an armed robber is that the latter uses offensive weapons in stealing but gonja mafia uses his brother.

Look at the political persecutions going on? Are they from Prof. Kofi Awonor's book? - take economic and political power from the Akans. Is it that gonja mafia is using an Accra to make cocoa farmers pooere by refusing to pay for cocoa they have bought?

Are you seeing what we are seeing?

Whatever the country's historical experiences, foreigners should not be treated the way it's been reported. Treating their fellow Africans this way is no way to validate the country's apartheid experiences. Suhuyini only wants to be heard. His argument is hollow.

I don't agree with Suhuyini one bit, Suhuyini must be reminded that after World War 1 South Africa administered Namibia the then known as South West Africa for 75 years under a League of Nations mandate and applied apartheid policies to Namibia. Zimbabwe then known as Rhodesia under Ian Smith from 1964 to 1979 also operated a system of white minority rule while not explicitly called apartheid it was the same racial segregation. South Africa's xenophobic tendencies is born out of something else.

Should South Africans behave like animals towards Africans because other African nationals have come into their country? I think this nonsense must stop. Why are South Africans still in Ghana then?

Suhini, you have become the only Ghanaian apart from me who seems to have seen the real light in this matter.
We have Ghanaians calling South Africans "LAZY and that they don't wanna work and we go doing the work and they attack us".

I lived in South Africa just before apartheid ended and lived through for years thereafter, and I know what you're talking about.

THEY ALSO HAVE THEIR POOR, AND HAVE DECADES OF REORGANISATION TO DO.

Personally, I think Madiba in his freedom-fighter's thinking, did not have to feel the need to immediately want to pay back the kindness of other African countries during the anti-apartheid fighting by opening the gates too soon.

Botswana only invited the professionals and stabilised themselves first. Madiba did the right thing but at the wrong time. That's what today's xenophobia is now showing us.

South Africa has brought us MTN, FNB, STANBIC, ABSA etc, as against 70% of our boys who go to Mzansi to become BARBERS, SHOE SHINERS, STREET VENDORS etc, and we call that working ?

There is an attempt by Israel and US to cause fiction between Africans in South Africa because South Africa is fighting the Palestinian cause.
Having had the experience of apartheid, South Africans know what racial segregation and ethnic segregation is. To them its not in letters, but in their blood, the scares are allover for us to see, their tears have turned into salt on their face.
They know deep to their bones what apartheid, racial segregation and ethnic cleansing is as the case is in Palestine and other places around the world.
But as I have written already two of the instances were about health care and I see it as a call from South Africans to fight for free medical care.

Apartheid is gone for so many, many years ago. There's no excuse for their behavior.
I found Black South Africans youths very ignorants and evil.
