Waafrika Kusini wamekuja juu kuitetea nchi yao baada ya mwanasheria wa Kimarekani na mchambuzi wa duru za kisiasa Alan Dershorwitz kuiita Afrika Kusini kuwa ni “nchi iliyokwama ” wakati akijadili mashitaka ya mauaji ya Oscar Pistorius kwenye kipindi cha Piers Morgan kwenye chaneli ya habari ya CNN.
Mwanariadha huyo wa Afrika Kusini asiye na miguu yote miwili alimpiga risasi na kumwuua rafiki yake wa kike Reeva Steenkamp mnamo Februari 14, 2013; bingwa huyo wa mashindano ya Olimpiki anadai kuwa alidhani anamwuua mtu mhalifu aliyevamia nyumba yake.
Dershorwitz alitoa maoni kwenye mahojiano , “Nimekaa kidogo nchini Afrika Kusini hivi karibuni, na watu hawataki kusikia hili, lakini Afrika Kusini ni nchi iliyokwama.”
Mtazame Dershowitz akitoa matamshi hayo hapa chini:
Muda mfupi baadae, wataalamu wa Uchumi nchini Afrika Kusini walijitokeza kukanusha matamashi hayo, wakisema kuwa nchi ya Afrika Kusini haina vigezo vyovyote vya kuitwa “taifa lililokwama kiuchumi” kama vile ghasia zilizoenea za wenyewe kwa wenyewe, kutokufanya kazi kwa asasi za kiraia, kutokuwepo kwa mhimili wa mahakama unaojitegemea na kutokuwepo kwa ulinzi wa mali za watu.
Waafrika Kusini waliingia kwneye mtandao wa Twita kuonyesha hasira zao na kukana kabisa madai hayo:
#Dershowitz this trial has nothing to do with race stupid.

Angalieni hali ya mambo nchini mwenu kabla ya kudai Alan #Dershowitz #loser
@shyguy_2046 SA is not perfect, far from it. Who is? But #Dershowitz spoke from a place of ignorance and was condescending. That's the issue

Afrika Kusini si nchi isiyona dosari, wala haikaribii. Lakini hata hivyo, nani hana dosari? Lakini #Dershowitz alizungumza kwa upande wa kijinga na akijifanya bora. Hilo ndilo suala
#Dershowitz needs to watch less tv. He's on that ‘Africa is a country’ mentality. Law school clearly doesn't cure ignorance.

#Dershowitz anahitaji kupunguza kuangalia televisheni. Ana ile hulka ya kuiona Afrika kama nchi. Kweli elimu ya sheria haitibu maradhi ya ujinga
#Dershowitz aptly demonstrates genetic fallacy pervasive in #America;analogise #African with villainy #SouthAfrica http://t.co/KELL7COh2P

#Dershowitz ameonyesha mkanganyiko wa wa kurithi kimantiki Marekani; kuifanya Afrika kuwa ya kizamani na kuiona Afrika Kusini kuwa yenye uchafu wa kimaadili
dear mr alan #dershowitz, south africa is far from a failed country. a developing country maybe, but not failed
— winford collings (@ScreamForKyle) March 6, 2014
Mheshimiwa Alan #Dershowitz Afrika Kusini iko mbali sana kuwa nchi iliyokwama. Nchi inayoendelea labda, lakini haijakwama
#Dershowitz argument epitomizes the attitude & beliefs that #Africa is facing;it has more to fear from its “friends” http://t.co/KELL7COh2P
— Progress4Afrika (@hustlechowindar) March 5, 2014
Hoja za #Dershowitz unafanya muhtasari tu wa mtazamo au imani kwamba Afrika bado mengi ya kuogopa kutoka kwa “marafiki” zake
Some Twitter users took the opportunity to show Deshorwitz that the US is not a perfect state:
#Dershowitz says you who lives in a country which lacks gun control and where kids are not safe going to school, can only be an idiot!!!
— LaziD (@Orbiter03) March 5, 2014
#Dershowitz anasema nyie nyote mnaoishi isiyo na udhibiti wa bunduki na mahali ambapo watoto hawako salama kwenda shule, inaweza kuwa ya kijinga tu!!!
#Dershowitz, I'll rather have my SA with all its diversity and challenges than your American superiority complex. http://t.co/wd4pOGXwZ7

#Dershowitz, ni bora niishi kwenye nchi yangu [Afrika Kusini] yenye kila namna ya tofauti na changamoto kuliko hulka yenu Wamarekani kujiona bora
Americans make it difficult for the world to like them, and they have such a cool president! One rotten Yankee spoils the lot #Dershowitz
— MVRTIVN (@K1D_Marz) March 5, 2014
Wamerikani wanaifanya dunia isiwapende, na wana rais poa! Raia wake mmoja aliyeoza anaharibu nchi
#Dershowitz calls us lawless and failed? America bombs countries and dictates to everyone. Sure say wot u like, not like America has morals
— Kerry Lanham-Love (@kerrylanlo) March 5, 2014
#Dershowitz anatuita watu tusiheshimu sheria na tulikwama? Marekani inalipua nchi nyingi na inataka kumtawala kila mtu. Kweli sema unachotaka, wala hiyo haimaanishi kuwa Marekani ina maadini ya kutufundisha wengine
How does it feel living in a gun-crazy, capitalist, obese and obscene ‘god fearing’ nation Mr #Dershowitz ?
— MVRTIVN (@K1D_Marz) March 5, 2014
Hivi inakuwaje kuishi kwenye nchi ambapo bunduki zimetawanyika, nchi ya kibepari na inayojifanya “inamwogopa mungu” Bw #Dershowitz?
@darrenmaule #Dershowitz how dare a crack head red neck openly abuse us as a nation!what about America and it's racial divide and crime?
— Shareez Bagaria (@shareezb) March 6, 2014
#Dershowitz unathubutu vipi kutingisha kichwa chako na shingo yako nyekundi na kututukana wazi wazi sisi wote kama taifa! Vipi Marekani na ubaguzi wake wa rangi na uhalifu?
Mtumiaji mmoja akatania:
I guess we need America to invade SA and fix this #failedcountry, hey. Oh wait, we don't have oil. Darn. *takes a sip of wine* #Dershowitz
— Clinton du Preez (@Cleintoon) March 5, 2014
Nadhani tunahitaji Marekani iivamie Afrika Kusini ili kurekebisha hali hii ya nchi kushindwa, ha ha. Ah, subiri kidogo, kumbe hatuna mafuta, ah! *Gida mvinyo kidogo*
Hata hivyo, wachache waliafikiana na Dershowitz:
Wow,so if I had to put my mind twitter with regards to the #dershowitz interview then I would be so hated but to some “degrees”.HE IS RIGHT!
— Devron (@shyguy_2046) March 6, 2014
Ha! kwa hiyo kama ningeingia kwenye mtandao wa twita nikiunga mkono mahojiano ya #Dershowitz basi ningechukiwa sana sio? Lakini kwa kiwnago fulani JAMAA YUKO SAHIHI!
#Dershowitz i torally agree with u SA IS A FAILED AND LAWLESS COUNTRY, criminals walk free even oscar wont go to jail though his a killer
— Thabang Gold (@thabangmc) March 5, 2014
#Dershowitz nitakubaliana kabisa na wewe KUWA AFRIKA KUSINI NI NCHI ILIYOKWAMA NA ISIYOONGWA KWA SHERIA, wahalifu wanatembea kifua mbele na hata Oscar hatakwenda jela ingawa tunajua ni muuaji
