What makes love so beautiful, is that actually, beyond the initial attraction (if romantic) and connection, is that it is a choice. You actively choose to sink into it and embrace and provide a safe space, and care, and listen and offer friendship

I think the surprise many non-South Africans have about how far the entire country took this beauty pageant case is because we think of it as an aberration and a distraction - the kind of two day social media trend that goes away and gives space for more important issues to surface.

But, as someone who has lived in South Africa, I can assure viewers that this is not a distraction. Anti-black migrant discourse is a critical national issue in South Africa.

As surely as the sun rises daily, the average South African would find a way to tie any social problem to black migrants.

No electricity? Too many black migrants overloading the system.

Crime in cities? Black migrants did it.

Drugs in townships? Black migrants sell it.

Police corruption? Black migrants bought them.

Unemployment? Black migrants taking the jobs.

Failed at a business? Black migrants bullied the SA entrepreneur.

Unpopular govt policies? The ANC does this to protect black migrants.

SA national arrested for a crime? Must have been influenced by black migrants.

Rising house rents? Black migrants taking over property.

SA reputation declining abroad? Black migrants are out there pretending to be SAns.

The black migrant in South Africa is blamed for everything: from petty street crime to grand state capture.

Holding politicians accountable for social problems is second only to the culture of identity politics that frames every issue as one of nationalism.

I have had South African close acquaintances throw me under the bus or act distant rather than be perceived as being friendly to a foreigner. It is practically stigmatising to show care for non South Africans.

In short, the Miss SA issue is not an aberration; it is not a sudden distraction. It is the main national conversation. And it is rightfully weird, to anyone who is not South African, how deeply invested an entire country is in this.

And that’s why we say South Africa is xenophobic.
