An uprising of violence and destruction has started days ago in South Africa and no end is in sight. Malls, shops, petrol stations, and the list goes on have been looted, set a light and vandalised. South Africans are in despair as they seek refuge in their homes to keep themselves safe.

The police and government are doing very little to stop this rising racial war and citizens are having to take measures into their own hands. Women and children are unable to leave to a place of safety as the streets are litted with debris and enraged criminals. This is not a political issue this is a racial issue where it has been said an ethnic cleanse will begin. 

I have family and friends in South Africa as do many Britons, Australians and other nationalities across the world and we need help to stop this civil war from carrying on and from genocide starting amongst South Africans. We cannot allow people to run riot and slaughter each other, we need help from Leaders to make an example that this is not okay to happen. Support our family and friends and get them out of South Africa to a place of safety before it is too late!

Please help to stop the already terrifying ordeal that people have encountered over the last few days. I cannot watch and do nothing, and I emplore you to do the same.
