Action Needed to Stop Xenophobic Attacks

5 05 2008

There have been many incidences of xenophobic attacks against Africans from other countries, and the Eastern Cape logged another last Monday when a 21-year-old Somali man was shot while working in his shop in Kwanobuhle.

A similar incident occurred in Zwenetemba near Worcester in March, prompting a spokeswoman with the Department of Home Affairs to condemn the violence.

I’m not sure articulating one’s outrage will be enough if further efforts are not taken to apprehend those responsible, and to create a climate where such acts are deemed unacceptable.
