It is profoundly heartbreaking to witness another surge of xenophobic violence in #SouthAfrica this week. Hundreds have marched on Parliament, thousands of families have been displaced, and lives have been tragically cut short.
These include at least five Ethiopians killed earlier in the attacks, and five Mozambicans who died in Mossel Bay. Thousands more are now fleeing for their lives.
To see South Africa turn to xenophobia is a tragic betrayal of the country's struggle for independence and freedom. African nations stood united to dismantle apartheid. Ethiopia proudly supported "Madiba," Nelson Mandela, in 1962 and issued him a passport so he could travel the continent. Other countries helped in many ways, including with political and financial support.
Disagreements and grievances must be addressed by the justice system and the rule of law, never through vigilante violence and collective punishment.
South Africa deserves better. Africa deserves better.
Stop the hate. Protect the vulnerable. Uphold our shared humanity.

@zwelimagojo@MfanaNkosi3@JacintaNgobese There is no justification for inhumane treatment of a fellow human. Take the frustration to the authorities. Remember, it doesnt matter where one was born, everyone deserves to e treated fairly and with dignity.
@MfanaNkosi3@JacintaNgobese Tht doesnโt justify the indignity e inhumane treatment you are subjecting your fellow humans.Thre are better ways of dealing with immigration issues. At least hold your government accountable for the porous borders and loose enforcement. Remember, no country exists in isolation.
