Son of South African president wants foreigners out of the country
2015-04-01
[Nuus24] Durban - President Jacob Zuma's son, Baby Zuma Edward, has come out in full support of King Goodwill Zwelithini's controversial call to deport foreigners from South Africa.

"We need to be aware that as a country we are sitting on a ticking time bomb of them [foreigners] taking over the country.

"The reason why I am saying that is because some of the foreigners are working for private security companies where they have been employed for cheap labour. These companies are running away from complying with South African labour laws," said the president's eldest son.

'Foreigners need to leave the country'
Translation: Whites must leave.

#4  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_9

District 9 was a tongue-in-cheek movie about African illegals in South Africa. Americans think in monolithic terms about blacks and whites. Africans (and Europeans, for that matter) do not. Nationality and ethnicity are fairly important there, and many can distinguish nationality or ethnicity from facial features alone.

#3  Plus he knows if the whites leave completely, SA will become third world in a heartbeat -- then he would lose his local businesses to loot.

#2  No, this is NOT about the whites. This is the Zulus going after the Congolese, Rwandans, Ethiopians, etc, who have set up businesses etc in this area and become more successful than the locals who are frequently on the dole.

This is tribal, not racial.

Doesn't sound racial so much as companies are hiring security guards but won't pay first world prices and don't want the locals. Who would that leave? Some other African nation? Pakistani?
