3 stowaways thrown into sea
23/06/2008 11:23 - (SA)

Maputo - Three stowaways were allegedly thrown into the high seas off the Mozambican coast from a Chinese ship they had illegally boarded in their bid to escape xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

The national television channel, Televisao de Mozambique, said in a report on Monday that the three men - a Mozambican and two Tanzanians - had boarded the ship at the SA coastal town of Richards Bay.

After being thrown off the ship, the men swam to the coastline but one died during the journey.

One of the victims, David Chambal, a Mozambican, told the television channel that their ordeal started on June 04, when they clandestinely boarded the ship.

He said the ship's crew knew of the presence of the three men a week before the start of the journey.

Chambal told the station that they were given life jackets and drinking water before they were thrown off the ship.

  • I cry when I see how these people are treated. That is why I'm thinking of fixing the smallholding I have in Gouda so that in case of these attacks I will be able to accomodate them. Any one that needs more information about what I'm busy doing and visit Website http://hhhgouda.webs.com

  • I believe xenophobia is a normal reaction triggered by a human’s normal fear of dying (of hunger and poverty which can be avoided by limiting the total citizens of a country in accordance with the country’s capability to provide food, shelter and all that is essential for living in dignity. The dignified will not kill the menace, but control it with dignity. The killers are thus people stripped of dignity. Uplifting them should be the government’s first priority; foreigners should not be allowed to enter the country legally or illegally until all legal citizens have been dignified.

  • Thank You all for the solidarity. Its at least gratifying to know that there are still a few good people left in the world, The attacks were indeed horrible and it makes me event ashamed to be African to some extent. Indeed this must come to an end or else we wont have much of a future as a continent!!!

  • People this really touched and moved me.It made me soo sad to realise that our fellow men and women were fighting the outsiders.Are we not the same?I mean we may be different in cultures but we are all Africans by the virtue of birth.Instead of uniting we proved to the other continents that we are jealousy and would never be a helping hand.I keep asking myself what it really is that we want first it was xenophobia en just recently the taxi drivers were fighting against the new buses.We will be hosting the 2010 world cup so I think we ought to have respect for people irregardless of where they are from.Why are the people from America en the whole overseas called TOURISTS but our own africans foreigners?

  • With the xenophobic attacks out of the way for now, the best thing we can do for now is change peoples attitudes, particularly the police and the local people. Cops knew about the meetings but were either paralysed with fear or were part of the whole thing. I say again, we need to change our attitutes pertaining to how we treat foreigners and our government must delivering its services to the needed people.
