May 16 2008 -- The rolling ethnic-cleansing waves of black South Africans who are  hunting down 'foreign blacks' in South Africa are continuing unabated. This campaign started rather quietly about two years ago in the Eastern Cape when Somalian and Ethiopian shopkeepers were ethnically-cleansed from traditional Xhosa-regions. This is now spreading throughout the overcrowded, sprawling shanty towns of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg region. At least seven people have died in this violence this past week alone and thousands more are camped at police stations and fleeing for their lives. Thus far most of the foreign media are still ignoring these events.

Pictures by Beeld: black foreigners' shops are attacked and looted, often torched.

The potential for more conflict is also growing fast: with SA's borders unguarded by any soldiers, more than 5-million blacks from the rest of Africa have already transmigrated to SA and more of these desperately poor and hungry people are streaming in every day. The out-of-control violent crime epidemic, the high unemployment levels and soaring food prices create huge resentment among black South Africans against foreign blacks.

• The UN reports that more than 23,5-m black South Africans live beneath the breadline of $1 day, and some 6-million black SA children only get a daily meal at their schools now.

 And the country's farms also are becoming far too dangerous to raise crops on: some 2,961 of the country's 13,000 Afrikaner farmers were murdered since 1994 -- and the country is now very rapidly running out of locally-produced, affordable food. They now need to import some 30% of all their food-needs from abroad. SA was placed on the World Hunger map of the UN for the first time this year.

Journalists on the scene report that they hear the crowds chant the lyrics of Zubz hiphopper's video "Get Out" which was recently ruled 'hate-speech' by the SA broadcasting commission and banned from the airways for inciting murder against whites. Ironically, he was born in Zambia.

Police cars and journalists are shot at and stoned by hundreds of these 'alien-hunters' demand to see people's ID cards or to hear them speak. If they have foreign accents, their shanties are looted, often torched.

Food shops are looted, shanties are torched, Pakistani and Somalian shop owners hurriedly cleared out their spaza shops and flee for their lives. Many hundreds of 'foreign African families' are camping out at schools and police stations and ask police to take them to the Lindela detention centre near Krugersdorp for voluntary expulsion from the country.
