Ruiru MP Esther Gathogo has called on African leaders to stand together with one voice and greatly condemn South African killings, terming it as barbaric and senseless.
This comes after South Africans resorted in killing immigrants in the lamest excuse that they are taking their jobs in a bid to express their frustration of unemployment and economic imbalance.
Gathogo said that killing your extended families with machetes, crude weapons, burning them like bushes, maiming and killing with pleasure is an act of barbaric and lack of appreciations to the African sons and daughters, and Kenyans should shun away from such premise.
The legislator reminded them how their fathers came to look for shelter and jobs in neighboring countries during the apartheid rule, and how extended family continents mobilized to offer support during their fight of equality in their own motherland.
“They seem to have forgotten how their fathers came to neighboring countries to look for job and shelter during the Apartheid, and how Nelson Mandela paid with 27 years of his life while fighting for their freedom,” added Gathogo
She has called on Kenyans to shun away from trips to South Africa, terming the residents as ungrateful since she cannot understand how uneducated fellow would route to kill a medical doctor and claim the doctor took his or her job.
The MP, who was speaking on Tuesday in Githurai, Ruiru constituency has called on African leaders to come out and strongly condemn the xenophobia killings, and aggressively warned Kenyans on going to the country where its sons and daughters are slaughtering their brothers and sisters.
