S.A Former Deputy Police Minister on Xenophobia

Political leaders should not spark hatred amongst locals and foreign citizens with reckless speaking - Emmanuel Nwamba

The Zambian High Commissioner to South Africa, Emmanuel Nwamba, has urged political leaders not to spark hatred amongst locals and foreigners in South Africa by speaking recklessly. This charge was necessitated due to disturbing claims made by former South African Deputy Police Minister, Bongani Mkongi in his speech while addressing issues leading to xenophobic attacks. According to Mkongi, 80% of people living in South Africa are foreigners. This claim has raised questions as to the source of this statistics as discussed in the featured video.
