#SayNoToXenephobia
The #SayNoToXenephobia was formed soon after the foreign nationals were attacked by the citizens of South Africa who were alleging that foreigners are taking their jobs. This campaign was formed to create peace between the the victims and fellow South Africans.

The campaign really opened so many people’s eyes in South Africa and the neighboring countries, because most people started to see everyone as their brother or sister, they started not to mind what language or color of the person seating next to them, but accepted each other and give all the support they can.

It helped to reduce the violence and make the people who had wrong thoughts about foreigners to come to their senses, because some people do not think that immigrants can contribute in a good way to our country. All they have is negative thoughts about them, the think that immigrants are in south Africa to commit crime or take the jobs of South Africans, which is not true, they are given jobs because they qualify for the jobs, if South Africans can have the same qualification they can also be granted the same jobs. For example the hospital cannot hire someone who doesn’t even have matric to be a nurse or doctor, they have to look at the qualifications.

What the government can do to avoid such things is to encourage citizens to be educated and by putting more resources into education and not wasting it on unnecessary things.SayNoToXenephobia on facebook

The leader should also look at what they say and look at the people who they are saying it to, because our leaders and others in high positions have a powerful influence in their statements, actually their statements are powerful weapons and need to be used carefully and responsibly.youth against xenephobia

#ZumaMustFall

#ZumaMustFall
The reason behind the hashtag is because President Jacob Zuma fired the Minister of Finance (Nhlanhla Nene) which caused the South African Rand to fall/weaken, so many South African citizens including Members of Parliament decided to create a campaign a #ZumaMustFall.

Both Members of Parliament and public should understand that zuma might not have made a mistake by firing Nene, it’s possible that Jacob Zuma might have had valid reasons why he decided to do so.

The people should talk to Zuma instead of asking or creating the campaign which wants Zuma to step down or they should wait for him to finish his term and not appoint him anymore.
Zuma should at least consult the rest of the Members of Parliament before taking any decisions, because the decision which he made alone too led to citizens turning against him and the rand being weakened.
The people should not only blame Zuma alone but his advisers as well, because they should have told him that his decision might lead to hatred and confusion.

I know that asking Zuma to step down to step down will make people to me confident in the government which is governing and our rand will strengthen, because the government won’t focus on getting material things and building fancy houses, using the state money, but will use the money to develop the country and put more money into education so that South Africa can be more educated. The government should look at what will benefit the country as a whole not just the Zuma. A good leader will not buy assets worth billions when there is shortage in educational funds./twitter/zumamustfall

Letting zuma go might create a new tradition that when a leader makes a mistake they have to replace him which is bad, the state and the citizens should at least wait for his term to end and appoint someone who they think might do a better job, because dismissing him might lead to what happened now (the rand weakening and people not having confidence in their government). South Africa will never have a stable government.ZumaMustFall
