XENOPHOBIC ATTACK: Photographer Who Snapped Killing Of Mozambican Interviewed On CNN

He checked the series of stills on his camera. It was then that photographer James Oatway realized the entire attack had taken less than two minutes.

It was the morning after a night of unrest in Johannesburg's Alexandra Township that saw foreign-owned shops looted and destroyed.

Mozambican Emmanuel Sithole was walking down a street when four South Africans surrounded him. Sithole pleaded for mercy, but it was already too late. The attackers bludgeoned him with a wrench, stabbed him with knives, all in broad daylight. And Oatway had captured it all on his camera.

"They looked like hardened thugs, just by their intensity, the way they moved, the expressions on their faces," Oatway told CNN. "They wanted one thing and that was to kill Emmanuel. They wanted his blood and nothing was going to stop them from doing that."

Xenophobic Attacks: Zuma Must Take Full Responsibility-Falana

Lagos based lawyer and rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has said President Jacob Zuma and his party, the African National Congress, should take full responsibility for the xenophobic attacks on black immigrants in South Africa.

The legal luminary, while reacting to the attacks in a statement on Monday, said the ANC had failed to address the rising wave of unemployment in the country, adding that there was mass disenchantment with the Zuma-led government.

He said, “Zuma’s economic programme has excluded the people from the dividends of democracy. Out of sheer ignorance, the masses have engaged in misdirected antagonism by unleashing mayhem on hapless Nigerians and others who have been driven out of their own countries.

“The xenophobic attacks are unfortunate but President Zuma should take full responsibility for the mess on the ground. Grand official corruption is on the increase in South Africa while waste of scarce resources is the order of the day”.

12 Prominent Nigerians Sighted Doing The Unusual In Public | PHOTOS

It is true that so much is expected from Nigerian celebrities, politicians and other popular people. However, this article is intended to show that they are indeed humans, just like every other person on the street.

No matter how comported these famous Nigerians have proven to be, a good number of them will just not mind letting down their guards when they found themselves in public. These ‘good number’ of popular Nigerians are the ones who will take the opportunity of being outside in public to eat, to buy or to do what they will naturally not be found doing.

While some these ‘daring’ popular personalities get lucky due to the fact that they did not get caught on camera, some were absolutely not so lucky, as every bit of their ‘unexpected’ public act got caught up on the camera. Well, it does not look like they care in any way.
