The EDGE Community Newspaper
Dear Readers,There seems to be some misunderstanding regarding this week’s front page article, entitled XENOPHOBIA – NEVER THE ANSWER. A number of community leaders and other residents of Smutsville have messaged the newspaper, complaining that the story insinuates that the entire Smutsville community is xenophobic.This certainly was not the intention of the article – and I, as the writer, had hoped that the two paragraphs included in the first column would have made this clear. They read as follows:“The immediate trigger for the panic of the many Malawians, Zimbabweans and other foreign nationals was the high level of intimidation by groups of youths, most notably in Slangepark and Smutsville. At the time of going to press, no injuries to foreign nationals had been reported, but the threat itself was enough to create fear and movement, with the juveniles reportedly chasing foreign nationals through the streets armed with golf clubs, and reports of their now vacated homes already being looted.”"Public Order Policing units, or POPS, on standby in Knysna, were swiftly deployed to Sedgefield as soon as the trouble began along with SAPS and Municipal Law Enforcement vehicles, sent not to arrest foreign nationals, but to transport them to places of safety, which in Sedgefield’s case, was the Town Hall."That being said, by the number of messages I have received (all of which I answered individually) a different perception of the article seems to be circulating, and I have clearly – and regrettably - upset some of our readers residing in Smutsville, for which I humbly apologise. I have always known the Smutsville community to be good, peace-loving folk, and the fact that incidents of threats, violence and looting were isolated on Tuesday is testament to that.I do still stand by the core message that I hope the article makes clear: Xenophobia – and the intimidation, violence and fear-mongering that comes with it - will never, ever be the solution to any of South Africa’s problems. It is such a shame that, as it is all over the world, the hateful actions of just a few individuals can cause such unrest for a whole community.Yours faithfullyBomber Webb.Editor (and Chief Bottle Washer) of The EDGE.PS: If you do wish to comment, please do so constructively and with compassion. Be kind. ... See MoreSee Less
