The most recent xenophobic attacks by mobs wielding machetes and knives bring back the painful memories of 2008. when the country was wracked by violent scenes of assaults on nationals of other African countries, We have seen this movie before - and it＇s not pleas- ant viewing. In fact, xenophobic attacks are an ongoing occurrence across the country. with the latest outbreak said to have been prompted by a speech made in April by the Zulu ethnic group leader King Goodwill Zwelethini. Zwelethini told his followers that foreigners were linked to crime and should pack up and go. However, later he denied he had sparked the violence, saying his words were taken out of context.展开更多
