The second wave of South African boatpeople, refugees and asylum seekers has hit the shores of Western Australia. Approximately 2000 refugees have been temporarily housed in tented camps near the beach of Scarborough, Perth. The camps have been set up by local South African communities living in Western Australia. This follows the first wave of South African illegal immigrants from White Afrikaans and English speaking backgrounds that arrived two weeks ago, exactly one month after the death of Nobel Laureate and first Black South African president, Nelson Mandela.

Following the burial of Mr. Mandela, a wave of violence erupted across South Africa that saw the death of more than one hundred thousand Whites slaughtered by ethnic Blacks in the first week alone.

There is currently no end in sight to the violence in the former British Colony on the Southern tip of Africa and large scale killings are reported from all corners of the country. The United Nations have thus far been reluctant to use the term “genocide” to describe the carnage in South Africa, calling it isolated incidents of violence.

Amidst the reports of the ongoing violence, reports of pockets of resistance, mainly from the White farming communities in the central and northern regions of South Africa, have been received as thousands of White people are trying to reach coastal towns to flee the violence.

The Australian government issued a statement today, saying that it is “assessing the situation” and “a committee has been appointed” to deal with what local Australians have dubbed, “an influx of racist illegals”.

Since the arrival of the first wave of South African boat people, there have been daily Xenophobic protests by local Australians outside the tented camps. Protesters clashed with police on Sunday, who battled to restore order after three nights of violence. Local Australians could be seen with placards chanting, “Racists, go home!”

Both the Australian government and opposition parties have called for a UN intervention. Several vessels from the Australian Navy have been dispatched to form a blockade and send refugee vessels back to deep sea and out of Australian territorial waters.

Tented camps reminiscent of Boer War concentration camps

Our local correspondent in Fremantle reports that conditions in the refugee camps are “atrocious” and “shocking”. Severely malnutritioned and starving people were being taken care of by mostly South African doctors who have been working and living in Australia for many years. Some local South African churches and communities have donated food and medical aid and volunteers could be seen preparing food.

A spokesperson for the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship has said that the humanitarian crisis is escalating by the day and they expect thousands more refugees in the next few weeks.

Ultimately it’s not about communism at all!

Over the barrel of a gun!
