FJN is saddened by the recurring news of ethnic violence claiming more lives in the streets of South Africa.
We join in prayers for the comfort of the families stricken by the grief of loss, and for the recovery of the wounded.
It is sad to witness violent ethnic confrontations in a great country such as South Africa, which is supposed to display an example of multi cultural harmony to the rest of Africa.
Ethnic conflicts are classically instrumentalized, to play into the hands of those who want to slow the development of the African continent, and the progress of the African people as a whole.
The nation that gave Africa a hero such as Shaka Zulu, cannot allow her sons to
desecrate their glorious heritage, with acts below common decency, such as violence toward your guests.
We pray clarity of mind comes to the elders of the concerned communities to come forward with concrete solutions, that bring peace safety and tranquility to the many people of South Africa.
South Africa: descent into urban warfare.
