With all that is going wrong, our survival instinct is to blame our neighbours.
I am of the view the struggles faced by our neighbours ended a long time ago and we should have decided not only to show humanitarian support, but also engage physically and put pressure on the economic embargoes put on them.
I do understand, as a middle-class South African, that our country is going through a lot economically and our survival instinct is to blame Zimbabweans. However, we decided to assist them back then. We realised sending them away was tantamount to killing them. As a country we need to take a few steps back and critically think about the next steps. The root of all issues faced by Africa is the same. In all honesty, I don’t see us overcoming our internal issues by driving away foreigners.• The writer asked to remain anonymous for fear of victimisation
