The xenophobia is something that is well being feared and stigmatized of foreigners. We must confront xenophobia as people here in South Africa, speaking about it might help to defeat xenophobia. We must ask our self as people as to what is a threat of people who have different culture, religion or dress different than us. We must make fun of xenophobia, do jokes about it and it might help to defeat xenophobia.
"We are all foreigners somewhere"- let us be tolerant of one another. The world is a global village. This madness must stop.
