Meet South Africa: Hypocritical, Racist, Ignorant, Dangerous and Unhappy

People who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones. And if they do, perhaps they deserve the stone that is thrown at them.

Of all the nations of the world, it never occurred to me that South Africa would self-righteously appoint themselves as the voice of humanity for the world, the voice against genocide.

So, allow me to throw my stones - all facts researched to expose the ugliness of South Africa.

South Africa has a long and violent history of political unrest, racial tensions, and struggles for liberation. The country consistently ranks high in the relative number of murder, rape and other crimes.

They have long been allies with Hamas and it takes a certain level of stupidity to think you can go before the International Court of Justice without your own dirty laundry being exposed. When South Africa cleans up its own ugliness, then, maybe, they can consider being the voice for others. For now, the world can only laugh at the pathetic case they had no right to file against a country that has lower crime rates, lower homicide rates, lower rape rates, a higher standard of living.

 So instead of trying to make their country better, apparently they believe attacking others without justification, facts, or logic is better. While Israel consistently ranks in the top 10 (usually in the top 5), South Africa hovers in the mid-40s.

Homicide Rate

According to Wikipedia, "In Israel the homicide rate is relatively low: in 2015, there were 2.4 people killed per 100,000 inhabitants (in Switzerland the number is 0.71, in Russia it is 14.9, in South Africa it is 36/4 (as shown below).

8th highest in the world - Way to go, South Africa!



South Africa is a house built with glass when it comes to hatred, racism, apartheid, high crime and hypocrisy. Someone who lives in a glass home, shouldn't throw stones.

Here's what you need to know about South Africa

Massacres in South Africa

  1. - Sharpeville Massacre (1960): On March 21, 1960, police opened fire on a peaceful anti-passbook protest in the township of Sharpeville, resulting in the deaths of 69 people and hundreds of injuries. This event marked a turning point in the anti-apartheid struggle and led to increased international condemnation.

  2. - Langa Massacre (1960): On March 21, 1960, the same day as the Sharpeville Massacre, police also opened fire on a crowd in the township of Langa in Cape Town. The exact number of casualties is disputed, but this event contributed to the heightened tensions during the anti-passbook protests.


  3. - Cato Manor Killings (1960s): Cato Manor, a predominantly Indian and black residential area in Durban, experienced a series of police raids and killings in the early 1960s. The security forces targeted suspected members of the anti-apartheid movement, resulting in multiple deaths.

  4. - Soweto Uprising (1976): In June 1976, students in Soweto protested against the compulsory use of Afrikaans in schools. The government's response was violent, with police firing on the unarmed protesters. Hundreds were killed, and the event triggered widespread protests across the country.

- Church Street Bombing (1983): While not a massacre in the traditional sense, the Church Street bombing in Pretoria on May 20, 1983, resulted in the deaths of 19 people and injuries to more than 200. The African National Congress (ANC) claimed responsibility for the bombing as part of its armed struggle against apartheid.
  1. - Uitenhage Massacre (1985): In March 1985, during anti-apartheid protests in Uitenhage, police opened fire on demonstrators, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. The exact number of casualties is disputed.

  2. - Highgate Hotel Bombing (1988): In May 1988, a bomb exploded at the Highgate Hotel in East London, killing three people and injuring many others. The ANC denied involvement, but the incident was part of a series of bombings during the apartheid era.

  3. - Boipatong Massacre (1992): In June 1992, 45 people were killed and many more injured in the township of Boipatong. The massacre was linked to political violence and tensions between rival factions, including elements associated with the apartheid-era security forces.

  4. - Bisho Massacre (1992): On September 7, 1992, the South African Defense Force (SADF) clashed with protesters in Bisho, a town in the Eastern Cape, resulting in the deaths of at least 29 people. The protesters were demanding the removal of the homeland government and the reincorporation of the Eastern Cape into South Africa.

- Heidelberg Tavern Massacre (1993): In December 1993, four armed men attacked the Heidelberg Tavern in Observatory, Johannesburg, killing 10 people and injuring many others. The motive behind the attack was believed to be political, targeting patrons known for their anti-apartheid activism.
  1. - Bophuthatswana Crisis (1994): In March 1994, just before South Africa's first democratic elections, a crisis unfolded in the Bantustan of Bophuthatswana. Violent clashes erupted between government forces and pro-democracy activists, leading to a significant number of casualties.

  2. - Shell House Massacre (1994): On March 28, 1994, just weeks before South Africa's first democratic elections, the African National Congress (ANC) headquarters, Shell House, was attacked. The incident resulted in the deaths of at least 19 people. The circumstances surrounding the attack were complex, involving political tensions and rivalries.

- Malmesbury Prison Uprising (1996): In December 1996, inmates at Malmesbury Prison staged an uprising to protest poor living conditions and alleged abuse by prison authorities. The authorities responded with force, resulting in the deaths of several inmates.

  1. - Marikana Massacre (2012): In August 2012, during a strike by mineworkers at the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, North West province, the South African Police Service opened fire on the striking miners. Thirty-four miners were killed, and many others were injured. The incident shocked the nation and raised questions about police conduct and workers' rights.


  2. - Xenophobic Attacks (2008, 2015, 2019): While not a single massacre, South Africa has witnessed several waves of xenophobic violence targeting foreign nationals. In 2008, 2015, and 2019, there were outbreaks of attacks on immigrants, resulting in deaths, injuries, and widespread displacement. These incidents were driven by socio-economic factors, competition for resources, and anti-immigrant sentiments.
