Xenophobia Africa Cries Again
The same country which Africa wiped it's tears
The same country that African leaders supported
The same country which Africa embraced
The same country which African artists sang peace songs to
Today is the same country that has made term Xenophobia popular in Africa
SouthAfrica you are have made Africa Cry
You have qunched your 20th century thirst by
Spilling Blood ,you have murdered foreign national.
You have burnt them with petrol and tyres.
You have stabbed the innocent in day light whilist others cheer for you.
You have broken down houses of the innocent and left many disabled.
Ohh SouthAfrica you mademade Africa cry!
"Let foreigners leave South Africa" so you say
The same African foreigners who sell vegetables
The same African foreigners who clean your homes and look after your kids.
The same African foreigners who dig your gardens
The same African foreigners who work in construction.
Ohhh SouthAfrica you made Africa Cry!
"Foreigners take our jobs " so you say
"Foreigners take our women"so you say
"Foreigners increase crime"so you say
"Foreigners accept low salaries" so you say
"They cannot speak our language" so you say
Ohhh SouthAfrica you made Africa cry
Isn't it the same foreign national who have invested in Africa
Isn't it the same foreigners who attend to you in the Health Sector
Isn't it the same foreigners who are making the agricultural sector boom
Isn't it the same foreigners who have transfered the scarce skills in this country
Ohh SouthAfrica you made Africa cry
Let's say no to xenophobia Africa
Let's not react to xenophobia madness
Like a cancer it's spreading across Africa
Like cancer is killing Africa slowly
We are all Africans and there is a foreign national in everyevery African country.
Ohh SouthAfrica you made Africa cry
Leaders in Africa if we are reluctant on Xenophobia attacks
we are going to be reliant on other continents.
If we keep quite and do nothing about Xenophobia we are always be known as a poor continent
So lets stand together as Africa and say NO to xenophobia
