Kenyans,
I do think that our government should react fast and evacuate Kenyans who want to leave South Africa to come back home safely.
Any civilised state on earth here would have started doing that long time ago. The problem in South Africa is not going to end in a day. Let all wise thinking people see this problem as a wake up call and the problem might be even politically motivated. May be the South African government or some in the country like workers union etc are behind all these violences. We Africans have just proved to be very impossible to work without corruption. South African boarder control and ministry of foreign affairs, migration department are to be blamed for all those influx of people into South Africa.
Another point we must also ask as fellow African is this: Why should a kenyan be killed or beaten in South Africa?. Or why should a Zimbabwean leave his country to do manual low paying job in South Africa?. We can not only blame Mbeke or any South African government official for all these messes, I do think all African leaders and politicians should ask themselves those questions. Is South African green pasture better than Nigerian, Kenyan, Zimbabwean, Ghanian etc because WHITES MADE IT SO OR WHAT?. Why can`t black African presidents or Prime Ministers also make their country`s pastures greener?.
By the way why should a kenyan or a zimbabwean be killed in South Africa?, Or Why should A kikuyu be killed in Rift Valley?, Or why should a luo be killed in Naivasha?, Or why should a Kalenjin be killed in Nairobi?, or A luhja, or Masaai? etc. Are these Not enough indication that our leaders are hopeless or by the way just useless. These same leaders seek even medical help abroad while their countries are boiling above the normal human body temperatures. Some leaders care less to build those medical facilities into their own countries so that any person can get the same good care they do get a broad. Are those not indications of useless leadership or what?.
I still think Kenyans who want to leave South Africa now should be lifted back home, it does not matter whether they are Luos, Kikuyus, Mijikenda, Masai, luhja, Nandi or somalis origin. So Mr AMOLO the ambassoder should do the right thing at the right time before it is too late. The problem might cool today and again explode the next day, by then it will be too late. They have just started with low paying jobs and businesses, but tomorrow when the original South Africans from Universities wiil not get a job in his own country because a kenyan or a ghanian is holding the job you will see fire spreading to the elites too. Kibaki and his supporters have been boasting that they have made Kenyan economy grow and it is wonderful during Kibaki`s rule, can some Kenyan government officials tell us how many South Africans have came to Kenya to look for a JOB ?. By the way Kenyans are almost running to South Africa almost everyday even now when there is violence. Are those not indications that Kibaki has not been speaking the truth?.
