Just a few days ago, the whole nation was shocked by the murder and shooting of members of Operation Dudula by foreigners. One of the most prominent members of operation Dudula, by the name of Kgomotso Diale, was shot dead by a group of foreigners who were heavily armed last week. According to the report, the operation, as usual, was visiting a foreign residence at the Chicken Farm informal settlement, where everyone knows the cable thief lives. It was unfortunate that when they got there, heavily armed foreigners started shooting at them, even though they were not armed. Several people were badly injured and taken to hospital, while one of the leaders, Kgomotso Diale, passed away.
This incident touched the hearts of many, and it has just fuelled the hate that South Africans have towards foreigners. Since Kgomotso was killed, all over social media, people have been sending their condolences to the family as well as their fellow operation Dudula leader.
Yesterday was a heartbreaking day, as Kgomotso was sent to his final resting place. His burial service was held at Pimville Community Centre and he was sent to his final rest in a dignified way. Throughout his sending off, there was a very heartbreaking part as Nhlanhla Lix and other members of operation Dudula were bowing down, sending their last goodbye to one of their own. In a trending video, they were bowing down, singing and praising the fallen patriot. This video has been trending all over social media. Watch it below:
At the same time, this is very heartbreaking and upsetting. Kgomotso was killed for fighting for the community. What’s even worse is that they killed an armed person who had never harmed anyone. All over social media, people are calling for revenge. They want to fight back and seek justice for Kgopotso since they believe that police are being incompetent in this case.
Opinion
Kgomotso’s death came unexpected and it touched everyone. The majority of South Africans want foreigners to go back to their mother lands, and now that they have killed a patriot, they have just added more anger to the South Africans. If the police don’t immediately arrest the suspects, there will be a huge xenophobic attack since people want revenge for Kgopotso. What do you think should be done in this situation? What do you think is the best solution to get rid of illegal foreigners? Comment below.
