To most people, Jo'burg is a beacon of hope. They expect job opportunities, business opportunities, or even to find someone and make familes. Sadly, some are just here to commit crime and to devastate other people's lives.

It is imperative that we embrace the Rand City, and that we live in peace, treat others with respect and hold on to our values as a society. In that way we are creating a space for others to feel at home and welcome. We all must succeed in life and think for others too. To all my  fellow South Africans it is uncalled for and unfortunate that we become hostile and xenophobic to foreign nationals. Try to think about how would you feel if it were you or your children and other members of your family who were experiencing how they are often forced to live here.

Let's all treat others with respect and live in harmony in the City of the  Rand.
