ZCTU Not Happy With The South African Government’s Response To Xenophobia

Last updated on June 1st, 2021 at 09:14 am

The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions has expressed their displeasure on how the South African government has addressed Xenophobia and Afrophobic attacks. The body has called the South African Government’s response to Xenophobia attacks “lukewarm”. ZCTU’s Japhet Moyo issued a statement that reads:

What is most disturbing is the lukewarm response by the South African authorities in protecting the foreign nationals, most of whom are economic refugees seeking out an honest living. We also call upon the South African government to put in place practical policies that safeguard migrants and bring a lasting solution to the ever resurfacing xenophobic attacks.

We also note that during the last attacks in 2008, 2015 and 2017 the South African authorities did very little to investigate and bring to book the culprits. This lack of political will resulted in the perpetrators believing that they can repeat xenophobic acts with impunity
