The new move by Zulu King of South
Africa seems to be in the right direction.
After much pressure, South Africa Zulu
King Goodwill Zwelithini has finally
agreed
to call an end to xenophobic attack.
The monarch was credited to have fueled
the xenophobic violence that led to the
death of many and displacement of others.
According to City Press, Zwelithini has now
called an imbizo in Durban for tomorrow
where he is expected to call for an end to
xenophobic attacks. The imbizo, at which
the king will address the province’s
traditional leaders and their subjects, will
be held at the Moses Mabhida Stadium at
10am.
The President of South Africa who paid a
visit to the Chatsworth refugee centre in
Durban told the foreigners that the
government was not forcing them to go,
but would provide transport to repatriate
those who wanted to leave. Those who
wanted to stay, he said, would get help to
return to their communities.
“We are not fighting with you as
government. Not every South African is
saying you must go. It is a small number of
people who want you to go,” President
Zuma said. “We want us to live as sister
and brother.”
