'We are a country that is completely committed against xenophobia.'
In a video message posted on Twitter on Tuesday, Ramaphosa said he would also be meeting ministers from the security cluster to “keep a close eye on what’s happening” and to find ways to quell the violence.
This was after social media users on Tuesday made the #DearMrPresident hashtag trend, with many questioning Ramaphosa’s inaction and silence over the ongoing violence in the country. The people of our country want to live in harmony; whatever concerns or grievances we may have, we need to handle them in a democratic way. There can be no justification for any South African to attack people from other countries.
