A March For Change!!
Emotions running high for most South Africans today the 7th of April, as we march for the fall of a corrupt president who has sucked this country dry to the bone.
We have one of the most beautiful, warm and friendly countries in the world, but today we are standing together to fight for our country, ruled by an unworthy president.
Some thoughts from fellow South Africans.
Today I march for change. I march for what I believe is right. I march AGAINST corruption and a man who cares only for himself. I march for the children, the disabled, the poor, the elderly and for those who have no voice.
I love my country and so today I stand united with our people.
Zuma is not so bad, not even Mbeki could unify a nation like this.

White Genocide in South Africa!
One of many articles,stated in wikipedia about white genocide: The South African farm attacks (Afrikaans: plaasmoorde; "plaas" = farm, "moorde" = murders) are an ongoing trend of violent attacks on farmers in South Africa. Between 1994 and March 2012, there had been 361,015 murders in all of South Africa and between 1990 and March 2012, there had been 1,544 murders on South African farms of which 208 of the victims were black.[1] In January 2015, AfriForum reported that there has been an increase in farm attacks and murders in the previous five years.

Message from South Africans all over the world poured in.
Thinking of my country today and all those who live there still that I love. Prayers for a peaceful change & safety.
The question remains though: Will this protest carry any merit, will we be able to free our country from bondage by a corrupt president???!!!
nice news @crazymumzysa thanks for sharing
Thank you. From one South-African to another, this has to end. If we are powerless within our own country, let the world hear and see the truth!
I agree 100%. Most peole are uninformed on what is truly happening here. We live in a beautiful country but cannot even take a walk as women in a group at our botanical gardens to appreciate it, due to the fear for our safety. Our kids are becoming obese because we fear to let them walk or cycle to school. It is soo sick. Sad thing is, the poor will be stuck here, getting raped and murdered.
