In April 1994, South Africa held its first democratic elections and all races went to the polls to bury apartheid for good. But hopes of a new dawn have been tarnished by fraud and corruption at the highest levels. Racist attacks against whites and foreigners has been increasing year after year. Most recently President Jacob Zuma is attempting to issue a farm repatriation of white farms and place them in control of black farmer wit giving whites no compensation.

Earlier this month, South Africans accusing foreigners of bringing drugs and prostitution to their neighborhood torched the homes of African migrants. Johannesburg’s mayor accompanied police on a subsequent raid of the area, apparently making good on an election promise to rid the city of crime and people who are here “illegally.” In the video bellow you can see a story from CNN where South Africnas were attacking Somali and Nigerian immigrants.
