South Africa's Actions May Bring Future Consequences

South Africa's Actions May Bring Future Consequences
Sponsored — In Article

Never poison a stream you may want to drink from in the future. Our ancestors gave us this wise advice. It is similar to the saying, "Don’t burn your bridges."

This proverb talks about taking care of our resources. If a community pollutes its water source or overuses its land for quick gain, it risks its long-term survival. In relationships, ending friendships or romantic ties with anger or betrayal ruins any chance for respect or future peace.

By attacking black African immigrants and forcing them to leave South Africa, locals are planting a seed for future retaliation across Africa. Their children will feel the hate being created now. History shows that when the tables turn, South Africans may regret their actions. Those who walk alone may find themselves isolated.

The actions of Black South Africans are not just shameful. They are also helping their former oppressors. Unable to shake off the sense of inferiority left by apartheid, they chant, "All Africans must leave South Africa by the end of June if they value their lives." When they say 'Africans,' they mean Blacks.

The sad irony is that the Black people being forced out today fought alongside Black South Africans during the apartheid struggle. Even Nigeria, which is 4,565 kilometres away, was seen as a frontline state for its support worth $62 billion.

Moreover, top leaders in the anti-apartheid movement who could not use South African passports were given Nigerian passports and diplomatic status.

We will keep reminding South African Blacks that they cannot find better friends than their fellow Africans. Time will show this truth.

The claim that Blacks from other countries are taking jobs from Black South Africans shows how deep the ignorance and inferiority complex run. The attacking and looting of shops owned by Black immigrants reveal the greedy intentions of some South Africans.

Sadly, their new sense of nationalism may not even be original. There are signs that a foreign instigator is behind this unrest.

Some experts believe that the xenophobia in South Africa is not just about local issues. They think the West may be encouraging this Afrophobia. When people turn on each other, it can lead to serious consequences.

Global politics and international trade heavily influence African economies. The tension between locals and immigrants is often fueled by harsh economic conditions and local political games. But there are deeper layers to this black-on-black violence, according to a conspiracy theorist on the Truvision International Global blog.

He claims that South African xenophobia is being influenced by Washington. If that sounds unbelievable, consider his point that some members of the white elite in South Africa know a plan that the US helped create.

Every South African should look into the claim that the West wants to destabilize South Africa by sparking black-on-black violence. This could lead to local tribes fighting each other, making it easier for whites to regain power from the Blacks who would be seen as unable to govern.

This aligns with a statement often linked to former apartheid president PW Botha: "Black people cannot rule themselves because they don’t have the brain and mental capacity to govern a society. Give them guns, they will kill themselves. Give them power, they will steal all the government money. Give them independence and democracy, they will use it to promote tribalism, ethnicity, bigotry, hatred, killings and wars."

According to the theorist, the plan to take back South Africa from Black people has four stages:
Step 1, Create division between Black South Africans and their African brothers and sisters. Make them hate those from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Mozambique, and elsewhere. Destroy unity from the inside.
Step 2, Allow chaos to grow. Let the economy suffer. Let crime rise. Show that a Black-led government is weak.
Step 3, Strike. Present a narrative. "We gave you a functional country and you destroyed it. Black people cannot govern themselves. South Africa is proof."
Step 4, Reclaim power. Open immigration for white Europeans, Americans, and Israelis. Rebuild the country in their image. Push the Black population to the margins through crises and manipulation.
If South Africa falls, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia may also fall. The entire southern region could collapse.
As the Middle East is subdued and the empire looks for new battlefields, Southern Africa will be targeted. The groundwork is being laid now.
Divide, destabilize, discredit, conquer.
They have done it in Libya, Iraq, and Sudan. Right now, Black South Africans are being used against each other, setting the stage for a takeover that will seem justified.

As I watched clips of Black South Africans happily looting shops owned by fellow Blacks, with Afrophobes like Thabile Sibeko justifying the attacks, I wondered where those who once suffered under apartheid will go when the situation turns back on them. Your actions today shape your future. Karma is harsh and unfeeling. Cause and effect can be tough when it catches up with you.

When karma hits South African Blacks and they find themselves enslaved again, will other Black Africans come to help them? Tell them that yesterday's rain that harmed their fathers will also fall on their own children tomorrow, as they have destroyed the pan-African support that once protected them. Tell them that karma is a bitch.
