Attacking those from other countries who come seek refuge or do business in our country, that is discrimination and exclusion! Why is our differences make us fight one another? Is it that we are soaked in poverty, anger, and that South Africa have never been a democratic state? Now that there is democracy and Africa is back, what is it that we do to embrace it with all the power that is in our hands?

| Xenophobic attacks in South Africa in 2017. |
Xenophobia makes it difficult for the practise of corporate social media. This is because both people who are for and against xenophobia will discuss the topic negatively. People were condemning the march and on the other side, and some were condemning the foreigners https://goo.gl/PVJjz7.

| How xenophobia has affected South Africa's economy. |
On the other side, it can break down the emotions of the users of social media, https://goo.gl/28cyhm. These xenophobic attacks have hurt foreign investor confidence of South Africa. In other words, they've led to suffering of this country's economic growth. Currently, South Africa cannot invest in some other foreign countries. It may have billions of mineral resources, but still they need to invest in other countries for the economy's survival and the country itself to develop. Xenophobia really did cost South Africa a bad reputation.
Our emotions and minds have created negative attitudes towards foreigners. Social networking may change all this in the near future. Try to get to know foreigners, in a way that you will find simple, like everyday conversations with your family. This will create greater peace and harmony in the whole world.

xenophobia is one of the serious problems in South Africa, the post was very insightful and I really learnt a lot on the matter
ReplyDeleteThank you Rose your blog is really educational, i have learnt a lot from your blog
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm happy that you can benefit from my blog. These are very serious matters and as youth we have to share our thoughts about them. Xenophobia is one of them and I really think that if we don't spread it out it will forever be the problem.
DeleteXenophobia is one of the stupidest way to think. People can be from different cultures and achieve more together. no one is more important than others.
ReplyDeleteSo true! If people chase away those who help them grow their economy, I don' think that positive outcomes will ever be produced.
DeleteI love how your post outlines how xenophobia hinders people from learning to accept other people from different countries. Its about time we put a stop to this.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Very true! Why can't we get to know other people and their differences? If there is a foreigner in our society, why should we think that they are threat to us? Africa let's unite and love one another, we are one.
DeleteAs people we should value each others lives. What makes us human is not only our skin color or background but being able to love each other and have respect towards each other
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day we all humans and still have to live in the same society
DeleteXenophobia does not build the nation, it only separate us from one another.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fact! I know for a fact that this nation can do better than being xenophobic.
DeleteIt always confuses me when i try to understand how people get the nerve to burn someone else just because they are not from the same race, how could someone be so cruel? At least this campaign will somehow help people realize that your brother is not the only one that is your family, but also every human being that lives next to you.
ReplyDeleteThe same brothers are the ones who help them in times of need. They also go to their countries to seek help and refugee but that just seems to be a threat. We are all humans, not monsters!
