Africa against Xenophobia/
Afrophobia
South Africa is one of Africa’s most
culturally diverse nations with 11
official languages and 5 racial
groups, which include black African,
white, coloured, Indian and Asian.
According to the last census in
2013, South Africa is also the home
to nationals from 53 African
countries giving the country a
wider range of ethnic variety than
the rest of the continent.
jaQui2015/04/26 14:21 Johannesburg - The
government said on Sunday it
would help foreigners driven
from their homes by
xenophobic violence, a week
after hundreds were attacked
near Durban.
Minister of Home Affairs Malusi
Gigaba, visiting victims at a
sports ground where they are
currently living in tents, said the
government would help them
return to their home countries if
they wanted to.
"Our constitution says that
everyone who is within the
borders is entitled to dignity, to
shelter, etc. So unless that is
amended we have no right
therefore to victimise people
from other parts of Africa," he
told public broadcaster SABC.
Most of the 250 victims of the
latest outbreak of xenophobic
violence at Isipingo, south of
Durban, come from the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
Gigaba added that he and his
ministry are also ready to help
immigrants who are
determined to stay in South
Africa.
The minister stressed that he
was working with local
authorities so the immigrants
can return "back to their
communities where they have
residence to continue with their
lives".
