The plan was always clear to those with eyes and a brain. Exploit genuine problems that already exist in South African society, amplify and accentuate them, and undermine the South African government by working with political parties, pressure groups, and traditional leaders opposed to the government.
Find more pliable South Africans willing to assist in that project, and use those who are unsuspecting.
When the inevitable violence occurs, turn around and accuse South Africa of xenophobia because it would have happened.
Then question its moral standing in relation to its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
Keep repeating the same question: How can a country that treats fellow Africans like this take Israel to the International Court of Justice?
After South Africa has been isolated from other African countries because of xenophobia, move into the next gear.
It then becomes much easier to make that argument because many African states will be reluctant to rally behind South Africa if xenophobic attacks continue.
That is why South Africa must confront xenophobia decisively; not only because it is morally wrong, but because it also weakens the countryโs standing and influence across the African continent.
The more Israel keeps asking the same question. How can South Africa take us to the International Court of Justice when it treats fellow Africans like this?The more South Africaโs moral authority is challenged, particularly if it is unable to confront xenophobic violence effectively.
Unfortunately, there are already South Africans who are publicly supporting Israel because they conflate their opposition to the ANC with Israelโs opposition to the ANC, even though those positions are rooted in entirely different motivations.
In doing so, they risk advancing a narrative whose implications extend far beyond South Africaโs domestic politics.

Are you an attacker that moans every week about โnot getting service?โ
If you are then ask yourself;
do you make yourself as available as Mbappe?
do you find multiple directions / angles to be found with?
do you earn your service?
