Reflecting on xenophobia in South Africa
The violence against foreign Africans has undermined and will continue to undermine the African National Congress’s foreign policy of positioning South Africa as a so-called moral force. It will undermine South Africa’s influence in Africa as well as in continental and global institutions. It is likely to result in African countries not supporting South Africa as it pushes for reforms to make global trade, institutions and technology transfer fairer to developing countries an
Recent xenophobic violence in South Africa has significantly damaged the nation's international standing and its foreign policy objectives. The attacks, primarily targeting foreign nationals from other African countries, have led to diplomatic repercussions, including the snubbing of official events by African ambassadors. This trend threatens to erode South Africa's influence within continental and global institutions.
The escalating xenophobia jeopardizes South Africa's economic interests, particularly its trade relations and expansion strategies within Africa, while also undermining its role as a proponent of social justice and fairer global systems.
