Ugandan musician Palasso attacked in South Africa

South Africa is back in the news yet again for all the wrong reasons.The country has previously been known for Xenophobic attack against fellow blacks within the continent.. An act which has been condemned by other African countries. Well, today mobs attacked Ugandan musician Palasso.

Palasso who is also Jose Chameleon’s brother took to Instagram and wrote;

Thank you every one that stood with me in this trying moment. Thank you God for always having my back. I’m safe now. All the injuries will heal with time. They will always just be a reminder of when life tried to beat me down but failed. A lot has been said but please go to my face book page for the story of what happened. South Africa #stopxenophobia

He went ahead and cautioned those laughing and joking about his situation. He pointed out that he wasn’t a Nigerian but still got attacked just for being a foreigner. Below is what he posted.

My fellow Ugandans joking about my situation I want to inform you Xenophobia real. I am not in court and I don’t owe any body an explanation but the greatest part of it is Im still alive. This here is not a Nigerian owned car as claimed, this is Deno kiwunyas Mercedes car being demolished after I fled the scene under mob attacks. Same car I was seated in before all this happened. As you can see it parked on the road side next to the shop we went to buy food at. I was attacked because I am in South Africa and I’m not South African. All you passing false news need to stop please. These people are heartless can take life for no reason. This is very sad. You will take it lightly but remember today it’s me tomorrow it’s some one else and It could be some one you love. Let’s stand up against Xenophobic attacks fellow Africans. Death flashed very closely in my face yesterday and tomorrow you or your loved one might not be as lucky as me to survive the attack. Please world wake up. #stopxenophobia
