Cry the Beloved Country
Posted By Rob Millard - 0 Comments -
This photo could have come from the darkest days of apartheid, but it didn't. It was taken just days ago, of a Zimbabwean that had been set on fire by rampaging South Africans in an informal settlement near Johannesburg, in a fit of xenophobia. Police extinguished the blaze within seconds of the photo being taken by a press photographer, but doctors were unable to save the man. In the last week, at least twelve foreigners have been murdered and dozens more brutally assaulted. Apparently, crowds watching the man burn laughed hilariously when they were told that their behaviour was barbaric.
Words fail me.
