African Content Movement (ACM) leader Hlaudi Motsoeneng was the first representative to take the podium and strongly condemned xenophobia, but insisted that South African citizens must be preferred over foreign nationals when it comes to employment.
On Thursday, the Immigration Bodies of South Africa brought together leaders and representatives of various political parties to give their views on xenophobia and its causes, ahead of the May 8 polls.
The Pan Africanist Congress and the Black First Land First both referred to xenophobia as Afrophobia. He added that white people put African people in a position to kill each other for jobs. He charged that white people fire locals, hire foreign nationals and pay them “starvation wages”. Mngxitama recommended that the only way forward is if every immigrant in South Africa is documented for, and to ensure employers are limited to having 30% of foreign nationals in their employ.
