CAPE TOWN - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told officials and business leaders on Wednesday that he was committed to quelling attacks on foreigners that have threatened to cast a cloud over an economic forum aimed at boosting intra-African trade.
The unrest has kindled memories of previous deadly attacks on foreigners and strained diplomatic relations with Africa’s other economic powerhouse Nigeria. “Taking action against people from other nations is not justified and should never be allowed in our beautiful country ... We need to quell those incidents of unrest,” Ramaphosa told an event on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s Africa three-day summit starting on Wednesday.
South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation said the leaders who had confirmed attendance were all taking part, adding attendance was “satisfactory”.
