South Africa’s Foreign Shop Owners Flee Out Of Fear Of Attacks

The raids began in Soweto, after a foreign shopkeeper shot dead a teenager, who allegedly tried to rob him Monday night. With poverty and unemployment being widespread, frustration in Johannesburg's run-down neighbourhoods often boils over into anti-immigrant violence. In 2008, South Africa was hit by a wave of xenophobic violence that left 62 people dead.

I am Pakistani and I worked in South Africa for 3 yrs.... These black people hate anyone who is not black... My friends were beaten so many times without doing anything wrong. Only bcoz they were not black.
South Africa bad place. I leave job and come to Saudi Arabia.
