SOUTH AFRICA: THE NEW APARTHEID

The series began in South Africa where a huge rise in illegal immigration from Zimbabwe and other African states is behind an increase in racism and xenophobic violence. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy journeys from the Zimbabwean border to one of Johannesburg’s most dangerous quarters to investigate.

Reporter Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Director Robin Barnwell begin their film on the Zimbabwean border with a group of Zimbabweans as they begin a long journey to Johannesburg. The South African police stop them but let them go in exchange it is claimed, for a bribe, which the people smugglers claim is routine.

The Zimbabweans say they are fleeing a collapsing state, where President Mugabe’s policies have driven the economy into crisis and where earning enough to feed their families is impossible. However, the South Africans blame them for a crime wave and accuse them of causing unemployment.

White farmers in the Limpopo border region tell Unreported World that the immigrants are perpetrating brutal farm murders and poaching their game. The team films several farmers taking the law into their own hands by rounding them up, tying them together and handing them over to the police.

It’s not just the farmers who believe these migrants are fuelling a crime wave. The team moves on to Johannesburg and films with police in one of the city’s most dangerous areas. They accompany officers who routinely use plastic bullets to round up suspected illegal immigrants.

Those they catch are sent to the Lindela detention centre. The team interview a group of Congolese men who accuse the guards of severely beating them. Another inmate laments that South Africans have forgotten the support that their “African brothers” gave them during the days of Apartheid and accuses black South Africans of being the “biggest racists in the world”.

The team then travel to the suburb of Diepsloot where the local South African business community has written an extraordinary letter to Somalian shopkeepers asking them to leave. The shopkeepers – who say they’re asylum seekers rather than illegal immigrants – fear they will suffer similar violent attacks to those suffered by other immigrant communities.

A group of protestors gathers, demanding that South Africa should be for South Africans only. One woman tells Unreported World that black South Africans fought long and hard to gain their freedom that these benefits are now being stolen by illegal immigrants.

The team are then allowed to film on board a train returning 400 Zimbabwean illegal immigrants back to the border. Some are so desperate to remain, that they throw themselves from the moving train during the night. Almost all say they will be back in the country within a few days. Given the ever-worsening economic environment in Zimbabwe they say they have no other choice.

    Now if you hate …
    Now if you hate white people so much, THEN WHY ARE YOU LIVING IN A WHITE, EUROPEAN COUNTRY?

  2. NellaN1337 says:

    “Slave trade …
    “Slave trade fucking WHITES!” – Africans sold other Africans as slaves to the white men.

    “6 millions gased Jews WHITE!” – Where are the proof that 6 million jews were gassed?

    All the others are just too stupid to respond to. You act as if Africans never had any wars. All you need to do is look at Africa today the only difference is that they’re fighting with machetes, rocks and cheap guns that they couldn’t even make themselves, while the superior race fought with bombs, tanks etc.

    Oh so many lies.


    Oh so many lies.

    95% of serial killers are WHITE!

    A study from Boise University states Blacks are serial murderers at twice the factor of their population compared with other races.

    Out of 413 cases from 1945 to 2004, 90 were Black — almost 1/4th of the criminals from a population of 12-13.5%.

    pedophiles WHITE! -

    Blacks are 3.6 times MORE LIKELY to abuse their children then Whites and 1.9 times more likely to SEXUALLY abuse children.

    LOL

    Inbred …
    LOL

    Inbred mutant albinos are dying across the world. Inbred mutant albinos better know as “white people” are at “0″ population growth.

    By the way money is agreed upon way to distribute resources,

    What is necessary for South Africans is receive educations so they would realize when Asians, whites, or other Black are trying to exploit them.

    This woman in the begininng of the doc was woefully ignorant. It a shame that many East asians exploit for their benefit.

    No matter Black land

    @BlissOfHope – …
    @BlissOfHope – Remember the following saying!!!

    Fmclaw777 – “Behind every successful Black man, is a White man that put him there”

    Fmclaw777 – “Behind all Aid in Africa, is a White man and his bank account”

    Fmclaw777 – “Behind every black man, is a White man supporting him”

    Fmclaw777 – “Behind every BLACK welfare payment , is a White man’s signature”

    GO FIGURE, AND SUCK ON THAT!!!!

  13. FMCLAW777 says:

    @BlissOfHope – …
    @BlissOfHope – last but not least!!

    READ A LITTLE ON INTERNATIONAL AID AND WELFARE and look at who are the recipients and who are the givers!!! In 99% of these cases, you will find the WHITE man giving, while the recipients are all non-white lazy races that seems, after how many years of freedom from WHITEY, still can’t take care of themselves!! Their only explanation being that SLAVERY / OPPRESSION caused their “backwardness” even if that ended centuries ago!!

  14. FMCLAW777 says:

    @BlissOfHope – to …
    @BlissOfHope – to cont…….

    How many AFRICAN Countries were their to help with aid in Haiti?? answer: ONE (South Africa) where most money are received from whites and spent on Blacks to UPLIFT their sorry asses!!! No other African country gave aid (money) to help HAITI, who were first on the scenes after the incident?? I know, WHITE PEOPLE (animals that they are) were helping a over populated, under developed, disease ridden and under fed nation when they needed it!!! Whites can be so evil???

  15. FMCLAW777 says:

    @BlissOfHope – to …
    @BlissOfHope – to cont……

    As for the US Bank system, fine they were greedy, but most loans were given to African Americans, Hispanics and other minority groups were they not?? How STUPID must one be to take a loan while you know you can’t afford it!!! They knew they could not repay the loans, but because they are non-white, they expected some other whitey to help them out when they fall short on their bond. General perception among minority USA, is whitey will save him!!

  16. FMCLAW777 says:

    @BlissOfHope – to …
    @BlissOfHope – to cont……..

    Research scams / internet fraud / corruption in Africa and around the world. You will be surprised to find that most are now Black people and most from Nigeria or other African countries!! Where do you think your aid goes in Africa, not the people but the leaders, hence they demand more and more aid!! WELFARE is the biggest scam ever and everybody falls for it as the recipients are mostly Black people!! God forbid we don’t give aid to more Africans!!

  17. FMCLAW777 says:

    @BlissOfHope – I …
    @BlissOfHope – I don’t argue with that fact, but define “Animal” a little better. The crimes you accuse whites of are petty little crimes where whites use their brains instead of violence etc. Where as blacks are purely physical in crime, especially in Africa. Hacking up people, raping them, murders etc!! Inhumane acts of violence. As fas as serial killers go, how many are there, they are minority compared to the numbers of Black murderers, rapists that are locked up?? You do some research!!

  18. Karbouchard says:

    @makheyi, I agree …
    @makheyi, I agree with you, life is not fair. There are double standards everywhere – we might not agree with it, but it happesn and is not right. Africa has been screwed many atime and governments (their own as well) will forward their own ends. But are we indignant at the injustice or are we of because we are not getting our pounds worth? Only when we accept responsibility for our actions and our own desitny will be assert ourselves and bring our potential to fruition.

  19. makheyi says:

    @Karbouchard You’re …
    @Karbouchard You’re right that its good to learn from mistakes, but we see the same people doing the same mistakes time and again. They dont even bother as long as it serves their own interest. We’ve seen western governements support corrupt leaders, we’ve had mecernaries in SA, we’ve seen double standards practiced by these people, we’ve seen a people who try to criple the trade of African nations without any care at all. These people preach peace when they do war.

  20. BlissOfHope says:

    whites are still …
    whites are still annimals today- you are misimformed- do more research and you will be enlightened. US has a high rate of serial killers- most are white. Look at many fraudelent crimes- internet fraud, dishonest greedy white people with their scams, the collapse of the Us financial system was due to fraud! Look at Allan Stanford- he stole millions of dollers while making people think he was honest- that is the nature of white people-Wolfs in sheeps clothing_ Wake up!

  21. BlissOfHope says:

    Please note that if …
    Please note that if blacks are animals by their behavior so to are whites, asians, and Indians and Arabs!!- Are these black? NO!
    Look at the nonsence in Iraq, isreal, Pakistan, Bush invading Afghanistan japan invading china and Most of Europe,
    Big Companies run by whites dumping milk, Apples,clothes that can be given to Charities,Are these people Black? – NO!
    Well seem to me they fit the discription of animals according to you.

  22. Karbouchard says:

    Infantile.
    Infantile.

  23. Karbouchard says:

    …whites …
    …whites mistreating blacks…as individuals…and blacks mistreating whites….as individuals. History…after anglo boer war, afrikanes where marginalises, received independence and tried to uplift their own poor…but in the process destroyed the rights of blacks…..1994, black majority rule start with good intentions (like the National party) and systematically (trhough BEE and AA) destroy the rights of whites….Now how is that different…good intentions do not good men make.

  24. Karbouchard says:

    Makheyi, you …
    Makheyi, you argument is not sound. You are throwing a blanket of accusations over some innocent people as well. I never argued that any group has moral superiority or holds the high ground. Stop thinking in terms of Nationality, Culture, Social Structure – Start thinking individual liberty and freedom. In africa there is wholesale slaughter as there has been in Europe. The idea is to learn from mistakes and not repeat them.

  25. makheyi says:

    @Karbouchard …
    @Karbouchard Nowergians pretend to be good good people. We know there are not good people. There’s a lot of discrimination in Norway. Let’s not forget that these people were once barbarians, contries like Norway supported Hilter. These people are no moral position to tell us anything. We are a free state. We dont illegal people (white & black) to live in our country.
