why does this documentary try make this xenophobia a "post aparteid" thing, with white farmers&white policeman as one of the major inputs.The black south africans dont like the black zimbabweans and other neighbouring people, and they are slaughtering each other.Policmen,both white and black are trying their best to resolve this mess.Additionally,if white farmers are helping to deport aliens,surely they are on the side of the local blacks??? appartheid??? inaccurate and stupid documentary.

Hi Klerk500

The documentary was not meant to be about apartheid at all...in fact it highlights that this is a post aparthed issue. You must also remember that I did this a few weeks before the attacks because I was worried about the increasing xenophobia in the country. If you notice earlier in the clip, I also highlight the race of immigration as black.There are a numerous parts showing this. My argument is that black or white, documented or undocumented, immigrants must be respected.

If Africa knows no borders, then why don't African leaders change things? Life was a lot better for blacks whe the whites were running things. Just look at Zimbabwe. It took just 75 years for white pioneers to build a fantastic country with a First World economy out of bush and rock. It took Mugabe just 25 years to destroy it all. If whites were so bad, why are hordes of African getting out and migrating to countries run by whites? Because their lives will get worse under their own "leaders."

perhaps another white leader?

wow, wish the police showed illegal immigrants this kind of respect. Notice none of the white farmers stabbed anybody.

I'm trying to figure out why white didn't just stay in Europe if you're so much better than everybody else. Then if others wanted to come to your land, you could dictate weather of not the belong. How come whites have to kill and use weapons of mass destruction when taking over other peoples land and natural resources and forcing their white faced jesus. Why don't go some place that is devoid of any color and rule and peolple of color will no longer be your problem. We didn't ask youjusshowed up

I miss South Africa!

But some times I wonder if it's worth going back!

What an exaggeration that thousands have been killed, about 62 people have been killed. And then u took Aljazeera footage and edited in a manner that is out of context, one that suits your interpretation, one that does not stay true to the original documentary.

until all the black leader who trained together under communism die, africa will never stand a chance. they will support each other no matter what evil they inflict on their own countries. They need well educated honest, transparent leaders something rarely found in Africa.

bgibb101, spot on. allot of blacks would love to get into Europe and white led countries...mmm wonder why, we now live in a free democracy dont we, free of white oppression with all our brilliant democratic black leaders. so why run back to the whites even though they are the apparent root of all africas problems... Shamuali, if colonialism and europeans are the problem, why is Europe not a mess? Pro RSA, its not worth even replying to your comments.

Now maybe Ronnie Kasrils will get off his arse and get some intelligence on the issue.All he does is try to solve the Middle East crisis (as if they are listening to him).
