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.
@Knick_RSA Make it permanent not just for 1 or 2 weeks for faking people. Congratulations but the point is as long as white people still on control of the economy he will always kick you out of his company whenever you start joking with his business.Remember he’s the one who hire foreigners
@Sipho__Nkosi @Kgoshigadi_Dee Why don’t you go and ensure that your borders are strengthened instead of chasing the consequences of the real problem? And what you have to know is even today foreigners are still entering the country documented and undocumented. 10 are going back and 100 entering.

Now: We launched Itetero ECD center in Ngera / @NyaruguruDistr. This will give a conducive environment for single mother's BAHONEZA cooperative and community members to provide childcare services thus resulting in reducing unpaid care work & increase their economic productivity.
Volontariato, solidarietà, crescita e sviluppo. Il mio impegno verso le realtà più povere e bisognose del mondo non verrà mai meno. È un orgoglio aver fatto il primo intervento pubblico da Ministro degli Esteri in occasione del 50°anniversario della @FondazioneAVSI.
