South African politician, Makashule Gana, has said some of his
compatriots have complained to him that they are angry with Nigerians
and other immigrants because they snatched their girlfriends.
Gana, a Deputy Federal Chairperson of Democratic Alliance, made this
disclosure in at an anti-xenophobia rally, held at Constitution
Hill.South African newspaper, City Press, reported that Gana advised
that rather than get angry and take the anger out on foreigners, South
African men should “provide” properly for women, rather than lash out at
non-nationals for “stealing” women away.
Gana urged the crowd at the rally to spread the message of not taking
part in xenophobic attacks to “our wives, girlfriends, boyfriends,
makhwaphenis (secret lovers), neighbours and brothers”.
“If you can’t speak to a girl, now all of a sudden a man that comes from
Zimbabwe or Nigeria that can speak to a girl now must be killed. What
is that?”
“So I ask my fellow brothers from South Africa, if you want a woman
please go speak up, don’t go around and killing someone from Nigeria
because they can speak up for themselves. Speak out because it is
important,” he told the crowd.
He also urged South Africans to look at themselves and not blame
non-nationals for stealing their jobs when these jobs didn’t exist in
the first place.
“Go and start a spaza shop,” advised Gana.
