#sayNoxenophobia.......everyone has  rights and no one has the right to abuse someone's rights 



ADVANTAGES OF XENOPHOBIA

The xenophobia issue  is like telling other country that they are not welcome in South Africa,even though we say that it is a free country, i mean when people say that people from other country are only here to take their  jobs i don't understand.And i dont think that any betting or burning other peoples belonging ever solved a crisis or manage a problem.there is no advantage about xenophobia because the result to this issue is abusing other people's rights and treating them like the way blacks were treated before
people boycotting against xenophobia


DISADVANTAGES OF XENOPHOBIA

we tend to say and do things that we really be hurt if other people  say or do something to us. People come to south Africa, some come because they want to make themselves somebody instead of being nobody. And people treat them like they are not like us even though we are hiding the fact that they are also human being just like us.The different with people outside the country is that they work hard and sometimes they are creative and energetic. People from outside south Africa come here to south Africa just to make a living just like us. Look what most people did to the poor Ethiopians, yet we say that South Africa is a free country.with reference to the article

ADVANTAGES OF #XENOPHOBIA
community against xenophobia

Back in the past years, black people were fighting for freedom. And now we have the freedom, meaning we have our rights. Another thing is that we call South Africa a free country. What we must do is to ask ourselves these questions,

  1. why we call South Africa a free country, but still being violent to people outside South Africa? 
  2. why are we abusing people outside South Africa's right? because even if they are not originally from South Africa but they are human being just like us which mean they also have rights 
  3. Does free countries treat people from other country the way we do?
   4. Will we appreciate this kind of behavior when we are outside our country?
Instead of to continue rectify the mistake that we're made made in the past during apartheid,were are fighting each other.


PUBLIC RELATIONS OPPORTUNITY

We still can see the horrible things we did to people outside our country, and in a way it will remain the way. There are many videos,picture and articles about xenophobia on the internet. If maybe you think what you did was the right thing to do, go on the internet and search about xenophobia and you will see the result and am sure after seeing the result you will wish to rectify the action you took.

STRATEGIC USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

The social media helps the public in a positive way,consider the hashtag say no to xenophobia many people acted without thinking how their action will affect other people. But because of the strategic use of social media, some people regret what they did back then when they watch videos on YouTube or google information about xenophobia. Many people were badly injured and some lost their family, so if you are a person involved and see all the things that happen to people outside South Africa you won't feel good  in this issue or information will always be available on the internet any time of the day.with reference to,The Transnet Africa Radio.net article about xenophobia


RECOMMENDATION

sometimes it is better to treat other people exactly the way you want other people to treat you,as long as you are human being must always remember the spirit of UBUNTU, in other words we are who we are because of other people. This phrase can be even used here in South Africa, in simple term South Africa is here where it is today because of other country, just think about it, what would happen if there were no other country but South Africa? will South Africa be where it is today without other countries?simply just say NO to Xenophobia .The are many things to consider as vital like travelling, and see what other organisation operate outside South Africa and learn different things like:

  • different language
  •  different culture and sometimes you might find that you get an open vacancy outside South Africa, or your company transfer you to work there. So it wont be nice if people from other country treat you the way people from other country,with different culture and language are treated here in South Africa, with the reference to Heartline,try to provide causes of dealing with xenophobia

  1. Hey your post it's really impressive I mean brothers and sisters came from another countries they don't deserve to be treated like this cause we are all human beings and they also have rights to live wherever they wants to be. In terms of vacation you can't avoid to being hired only into your country

  5. The issue of xenophobia is heart breaking, in my own opinion the very same people who start such things are they laziest ones. accusing poor foreigner people who come here to make up their own living by working more harder than most of the south africans
