Hatret of forigner
As African and black nation, South Africa was taken as a symbol of democracy and role model of forgiveness and proof to the world when the great man Nelson Mandel released Robin Island prison after 27 year by Apartheid . That was never happened with wishes of few minority white colonial power , but what looked never happened made real through restless effort, struggle of all peace loving nation of African brother and sisters , Among those nations Ethiopian was the first black nation stood by South African majority oppressed and segregated black African , the South African brothers. Ethiopia took the great role in diminishing The Apartheid Colonial regime for the equal right of fellow South African. Ethiopia trained South African soldiers including Nelson Mandel and financed and offers Ethiopian Passport to opposition movement leader during dark days as the whole world closed their eyes on you as if nothing happed. We were the true friends and brothers in those dark days and we shared all the pain and feelings that you were feeling those days. We died and bleed for the liberation of that land and made equal opportunity and we all African feel South African is our home. South Africa, We thought would lead Africa to more democracy from that great man, NELSON MANDELA. The great man’s legacy Nelson Mandel, peace up on him in heaven, would make South African and the leader after him, but not you have killed the dream and spirit of that big man the coexistence in a peace, harmony, unity above all forgiveness.
As a nation, and individual, it is not this way, We Ethiopian including all Africans should expect South African could kill and burned us alive on theirs street, a senseless killing.
It is horrendous, when a respect king of one country release orders to create atrocity and lawlessness, a king?, Son of the president, Jacob Zuma? Unbelievable?
It is South Africa, who darkens the images of black people around the world. You turned your spire to your brother and sisters; you have killed the dream and the spirit of that big man of century Nelson Mandela, whom the world wished him to live long,
The world keeps the spirit and dream of that great man Nelson Mandela, it was light and path to human kind to a democracy, but instead of inherited it, you trashed and threw it to garbage
South Africans acted in contrary to Nelson Mandel, fellow Black Africans were killed, roped and horribly burned alive in front of law enforcement government official. On one area one of the officer were laughing when fellow black man was set on fire and melt down like ice. How shame is it? in eyes of peace loving people. It is Inhuman and barbaric and uncivilised act done by South African, on defenceless fellow black African.
Why to their brothers and Sisters? What the colonial Apartheid had never done, fellow South African did on to their black brother and sisters, burned them alive, killed with sward, butchered them on their street, moreover while they were unconsciously lying on street naked fellow South African drop huge stone on their head. Unbelievable, how fellow human being does such harrier to his fellow brothers, Shame South Africa and We Black nations are shame of that barbaric act.
Is that, what we black African deserves from South Africans?
Is that what South African treat their black brothers?, it should not be for whatsoever, however it happens or they need foreigners leave their, in proper way the government should address the matter and people should leave the country in peaceful way.
If South African claims that their job is taken by foreigners, which is insignificant compare to the whole population of that country, let say if it is the reason, why they did not try the white people, who controls 95% of the country’s economy. The answer simple they know what follows.



Thank you South Africa for slaughtering, burning alive fellow black African, robe, and killed your black African Brothers and sisters
As a Christian we forgive, this was put in to action by Nelson Mandel and We may forgive, but never forget.
History will judge one day

Sad to say that everything you all experience at the SA Embassy in London, millions of South African experience on a daily basis in South Africa, the government is corrupt and in general they are all there to collect as much as they can while they hold whatever position they hold. Wonder how long they'll be able to hold onto their prime spot in Leicester Square.

Horrible, horrible people.
Rude and inept. Don't understand their own jobs. Errors cost us time and money. Disgraceful. The staff seem to be hand picked for their surliness. Just nasty.

Useless Services
I am so angry with the way these idiots have messed us around and there is NOBODY to complain too. They are a law unto themselves. They do no answer the phones. They waste your time and double charge because of their mistakes. Useless, corrupt, embarrassing!!! Need I say anymore!

I have phoned 4 different phone numbers in your DHA section including the head of the department. I was furthermore advised by your switchboard to write a letter because the staff are too busy to reply to emails. Reading your customers comments for London and Germany,it is apparent how rude your staff is. This chaos seems to have been going on for at least five years - judging by articles written in Mail&Guardian.

Your switchboard transfers me to unmanned Telephones. What a waste of time and money. Have the decency to say that nobody is available. Isnt that what you would expect others to do for you?
