Wan meeshuu isdhiga lagu gowracaa. Soomaali haddaan nahnay anagaa isdhignay. Daaf ka daaf wareegeyno, duul ka duul wareegeyno adduunweynaha. Dalkeenana dhisan la', ku heshiin la'.

 

Dool dhumay ayaa iska noqonay, oo awood lahayn, qola walba ku istaageyso.

 

Eebba meeshooda ha ugu gargaaro masaakiintaas walaalaheena ah lagu dhibaateynaayo meel ay nabad u raadsadeen.

Subxannallah maxaa meesha kasocda!!

 

I remember back in the day we used to be very nervous going into those townships that Somalis nowadays dare opening shops and businesses, because they’re very lawless areas and hardly there any police presence. The crime is dominant and they are ‘no go areas for whites and coloureds’ as they’re exclusively black Only townships.

 

Our Somali brothers should have come to conclusion that there is no place for them in the townships. I know opening shops in the big, mixed, and more civil towns are hard but they could be business partners and share profits that way. May Allah help them.

[Allamagan]

^ Recapper, SA veteran aa tahay haye, sxb? I agree with you somalis shouldn't open shops in these hostile no-go-zone townships. One question bruv, what is their perception of somalis? how do they see on somalis? as africans? as blacks?

[Samafal]

Allamagan their perceptions of Somalis are divided, you have the educated South Africans and you have the common people who are the majority. The educated people know the Somalis for what they are, refugees struggling with their daily lives. The commoners think Somalis are some kind of some super race who takes their share of provisions from South African government. They question where Somalis get all those wealth they don’t have, they must be getting favours from the government, they say. The other thing that inflames tensions against Somalis are the small business owners who think they can’t compete Somalis in same level field as they believe they have bigger capital than them or they think the prices will come down as result of competition. The thing that I’m amazed with is that how the government is ignoring this issue, I think they’re forgetting how Somalia was among many African countries that fought for their freedom they enjoy today.

 

As to your question of what they think of Somalis, in their first encounter with Somalis it was confusion. The blacks who are the most uneducated, uncivilized of all the races in South Africa thought we were coloureds. The coloureds thought we were half black, half coloureds or simply coloureds. The white people and Asians were the only ones who bothered to ask us where we were from as they recognized us as different. Most of them didn't even know where somalia was, some thought it was a province in South Africa!!

It is a sad story may Allah make it easy for them.

 

Recapper after years of absence you have finally come back home. so you managed to find your password. lool

runtaa saaxiib and one needs to raise their awareness and tell them how we supported them during the aparthied. I heard that this used to happen to the chinese as well but things have changed later after the government has taken steps to improve the situation.

Don't they remember that there was even restrictions on the Somali passport as it was not allowed to travel to Israel and South Africa, because our then government and the Somali people did not recognise those two adminstrations as legitimate.

Yes we are masha'Allah a unique black race. An old Jamaican woman once asked me where I come from, I was with my son in a super market in London that time and I told her that we are somali, she then said in admiration "you guys are rich in the blood" to which I was quite overwhelmed by her remarks and asked her what did she mean about that and she said: "well, you guys got this beautiful black gen we are lack of"...and I was stunned didn't know what to say than ... "is it?" So no doubt we are proad to be different, black & beautiful.

Thats a sad joke. How many more innocents have to die before they make an arrrest? Somali horey utiri"Waayeel tag lama dhahee wuxuu ku tagaa la tusaa." I would have been looking somewhere else to settle by now, If I was a SA Somali businessman.
