When there was Apartheid there was no "fleeing" to other countries because their was order, work, and civility in South Africa. The only ones who fled were the terrorist ANC.

Now that "freedom" has come..the black mob is in charge. The spiral down has only just begun

ok,,so i guss if u kill a foreigner u get a job offer straight away? apartheid did irrepairable damage to the country within this generation. thats jus the way it is. there are jobs in SA but ese ppl obviously dont have the skills for it When i lived there, the few of my classmates whomatriculated with me found good jobs. if anything, foreigners coming to south africa come seeking a better life, not this shit. its like is australia, ppl here hate asians comi g and starting businesses

Shame that this strikes such a gergeous land, reminds me of the scenes i've read about and seen thanks to the Bang Bang Club. Shame so many people slur out racist comments instead of coming with some solutions to the problem.

@seaofglory Our rioters are too violent. Cops will get hurt if they get too close to them. The most effective way to disperse rioters is to shoot them with rubber bullets or throw stun grenades at them. This is what football fans coming to the world cup need to realise. Rowdy behaviour could be met with the type of force they are not used to.

What I don't get about SA riot police is that I never see them use riots shields, I only see them use rubber bullets, which just makes the riots more angry and thus more rioting goes on. What they are supposed to do is have 20 or 30 riot police and keep the riots contained, and block rioters from going any further, and after a while the riots will calm down and stop.
