Well South Africa ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

Well South Africa will be protecting their Southern African continent from being ran through by people that think they can make a quick dollar when sa is in a middle of a transitional gov. our people in sa soil will have to be given first preferences since they deserve it after a long time of doom.Its a shame that Africa is in the state it is in..South Africa has got lots to do internally and solving colonial issues isn't anything easy,yet these war torn communities are not helping at all

South Africa is not ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

South Africa is not like America in terms of wealth and policies..however, the past racism that black Americans experienced is somehow similar to what Blck sa experienced. I am taliking about black sa being driven away from their fertile lands and pink folks taking over and in control of sa wealth..TODAY sa is free and to correct those issues will take some time..I believe the war torn communities just came to sa at the wrong time and place to conduct business in the ghetto's that is even worse.

In south Africa its ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

In south Africa its my home land i was born there..black and proud to be south African..Today sa is facing a huge challenge that a few people like you will never ever understand why sa has to be very tight and very hard on these so called our brothers and sisters that comes to sa with the hope to make a quick dollar when sa is in the middle of rational and peaceful negotiations on how to solve their issues of wealth imbalance created by European settlers and East Indians.

South Africa and ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

South Africa and America is different..in South Africa the majority is black and its our home land..you will never get it since America you are a minority..Over here in sa soil we deserve the best out of the best after all the worse experiece of time we have seen. SOuth Africa will build more refugees camps to protect refugees from the gangs that are in the ghetto's of Sa. Hopefully one day they would solve their issues in their home lands maybe we can unite again because unity starts at home

Yes some freaks ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

Yes some freaks come to say with the hope to take advantage off the poor in the Ghetto's no knowing that there are serious problems keeps sa having explosive crime rates..These freaks contribute to the high crime rates in sa soil, these freaks contribute to the high crime rate in sa soil and to make things worse they are even teaming up with the very same few pink folks that are failing to negotiate but seeing war a resolution.

Well i guess you ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

Well i guess you know South Africa very well like i do..South Africa is poor too..Yet the ghetto's has been problems and these problems will be dealt with rationally rather letting a few scavengers coming to say frauding our system and adding up to criminal acts and on top of that seeing themselves not black people but as special people and insulting our sa black citizens for what,I am sorry but sa black sa citizens will be the first preferences to succeed in sa soil

What ever you call ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

What ever you call it South Africa is'nt prepared to solve Irrational ways of doing things that has been spread all over sa and the world at large with the intention to destroy our hope to help heal sa from the past with peaceful negotiations with those who still control sa Wealth yet a majority of sa black citizens in their mother are having tough time. It is not Somalians or Nigerians that will help save sa from these mess..it is up to sa citizens to decide and protect sa from frauders.

You dont know what ... ( 2 weeks ago by TheSomaliworrior)

You dont know what you are talking about? Dont you know how much Somali Goverment fight For Black S.A to gain thier freedom from thier masters? Shame on your People,Shame of Your Goverment,Shame on your country.Every Dog has a day.....

Firstly, Absolutely ... ( 2 weeks ago by wadanisomali)

Firstly, Absolutely u right this guy he knows nothing about the real history in this world and South Africa,only he's exciting 2write some lie. Secondly, every dog has a day, that is true. Somalia will be unit one day, somalia was great not better and will be again and again, 40yrs and over SA was Xslaves, and i blieve it's stil continues that kind of situation.

Why FIFA r lookin ... ( 2 weeks ago by wadanisomali)

Why FIFA r lookin somewhere to host this World cup 210? cuz of security and no one can trust his life in monkeys lands.loolz to SAparide14.

Yeah we have seen ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

Yeah we have seen that, jeolous idiots that have a very negative views on SA especially our so called African brothers and sisters from the war torn regions..Angry that South Africa is doing good and will be the best after the world cup as well..Well Its a shame that you have no idea how much south Africa has prepared for the world and how fast South Africa is getting even better..Its just a matter of time to start seeing the real SA..for now you go to Somalia and try to save it..

Well we all wish to ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

Well we all wish to see Somalia uniting with Somaliland and becoming a one region..South Africa black folks are the majority and not slaves in their own land..It is just a matter of time that all sa citizens will be enjoying sa wealth evenly and such agendas will be solved rationally,rather letting a few irrational freaks like you who don't know peace but prefer fighting to solve issues.The Somalian ways of Dealing with issues won't work in SA maybe in Kenya and East Africa and the arab world.

Nope Somali was ... ( 2 weeks ago by SAPride14)

Nope Somali was busy fighting war at that time of Apartheid in sa.. and thereafter, only a few ANC members passed by Somalia and did not stay there but continued with their journey to Libya, and the rest of the world inorder to help out liberate South Africa.South Africa will their internal issues and will be solved regarless of what a few angry jealous freaks from Somalia do or say..Go fix your country's problems unite with the South And the North of Somalia and stay out of sa affairs

Those are the ... ( 1 week ago by SAPride14)

Those are the reasons why Somalians are having it tough in these world because a majority are a very devil angry society that has negative views in life and towards others. It is to my believe that Somalians are very jeolous freaks and very angry to see other people becoming succesful..Somalians are snakes and backsteppers..Take a close look at this video, I have been shot because i am Somali..I guess the whole of south Africa is shooting you because you are Somali. you are idiots foresure

You are dreaming to ... ( 1 week ago by SAPride14)

You are dreaming to see the world cup taken away from South Africa. Infact, by 2009 a lot of changes will be made in sa soil and more protection will be geared in the streets of sa and soon enough the will be fresh air in the big cities of sa,After all more refugees from Somalia will be in refugees camps well taken care off up until peaceful talks are engaged in Somalia. Black sa will be sa first preferences in terms of economic development and the imbalance of wealth will be corrected

You are Somalian ... ( 1 week ago by SAPride14)

You are Somalian and i am South Africa how in the world would,nt i know about my lovely country and its people. I might not know exactly about Somalia but all i know is that Somalia is in the South and Somaliland is in the North..Somalia is failing to unite in both regions and to somali communities that are outside Somalia. Maybe if Somalians can stop the jeolous issues about other successful African countries and think hard on their own issues that has made Somalia has it is today.

There will be no ... ( 1 week ago by SAPride14)

There will be no dog day in SA fool..we just came from that dog day you are mubbling about..and now the main issues are to protect sa from the past issues and move to a prosperous future..Maybe in Somalia the dog day will be forever who knows.. South Africa is healing from the dog days and will be solving its problems slowly but surely. Its great to know know jealous Somalians and the Arab communities that are full of crept..SA will be the best and its people will prosper at all times..

I want to tell you ... ( 1 week ago by SAPride14)

I want to tell you a small story about south Africa since you really don't have any clue.. The ANC gov or any leader that is about tobe elected in sa soil will be there to make sure that the redistribution of wealth is done rationally and with care why because South Africa is in good relations with the common wealth countries and sa is new in democracy. Pretty much the majority of sa are well informed and will protect sa from scavengers that wants to see sa at war on its own..you get that or not

There will be no ... ( 1 week ago by SAPride14)

There will be no dog day in south Africa,we just came from the dog days.we were in the dog days for about 50yrs and today a majority sa citizens have seen the light and the possibilities that could make SA a better place for all if things are done rationally and with care. The war torn communities just don't have no clue about were sa is heading and its future agendas for the next 40yrs.You might see few problems that sa experiences,yet soon enough all that will come to an end.

Today the Somali ... ( 1 week ago by SAPride14)

Today the Somali region is full of pirates that holds up shipments along the coastal areas and now a majority of the ships have began to divert their shipments to the cape of Good hope harbours..The SA gov is prepared to monitor those waters along our coastal grounds and will make sure that there will be no Somali freaks in those areas so as to continue to protect and preserve the right of movement of shipment along our path.Somalians are nothing but trouble that has no sense and future.
