Miss SA issue highlights misguided xenophobia

The only conclusion that can be drawn from the furure over the withdrawal of contestant Chidimma Adetshina is that there is an irrational and deep-seated hatred for African immigrants

Now that the Miss SA pageant has passed and a worthy winner in Mia le Roux has been crowned, it is worth the country’s time and effort to look back and ask why a pageant that is meant to bring only pride was allowed to descend to such basic depths that it revealed the worst of South Africans.

What McKenzie might not realise is that even though his was supposedly a neutral take on the situation, it fed into the frenzy that set Adetshina up as a target of hatred. The bigots who always come out to play whenever there is an issue involving the documentation of African foreigners are always at pains to point out that “it is the undocumented ones that we do not want”.

It is indeed an irrational hatred of those from the north of South Africa on the African continent. Afrophobia.
