UN Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed deep concern and condemned what he refers to as xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
In light of these concerns, questions are now being raised about how South Africa can best manage these tensions to ensure peaceful coexistence while upholding the country’s laws.
We are joined by Teresa Oakley Smith who is a Diversity Expert to discuss these petinent questions and more

I'm getting tired of journalists dismissing south African pleas and simply only caring more about foreigners, you would swear these journalists live in another country it's as if they don't see the issues south Africans are complaining about. How can a country with the highest unemployment, crime rate be bringing in more and more people from failed states does that even make sense
Having a white woman discussing black issues is egregious
Are these foreigners employing themselves?
This immigration narrative in south Africa has a hidden agenda, terrorism is laying a foundation. Really is it true that foreigners are a problem in this country? What do you about the state capture, the Mandlanga commission? Who is corrupt foreigners or south Africans themselves are destroying their own country?
I blame EFF & ANC 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Unfortunately we are blaming illegal immigrants and our own government. These immigrants are supposed to be in jail for crossing illegally
How much is enough when they won't stop flooding in?
This is BS! Mainstream media and these journalists.
Which means our democracy is for this Continent.Yeah never because this is our Republic.
We will do what we did to the apartheid regime,if the Anc is not prioritizing south africans.,and only want our votes
I knew this diversity expert is white. The agenda is deep to make sure South Africa is a NO MAN"s Land as was intended. The only sin for black South Africans is our Ancestors who fought back and ensured that what they did to United States of America, Australia, Canada etcetera, where they mass murdered the indigenous people to ensure those countries were IMMIGRANTS countries. For real we are victims of the Project 2.0 so that the Land question is no longer palatable. We are in trouble.
Everybody in africa is frustrated. Everybody is overwhelmed. We are all tired. They should cancel the free border thing, you need to think about your citizens first. We all help each other. Every African country should seize their borders. Cancel the free visa thing, and that pan Africanism is not working. The same thing is happening in Ghana now. Nigerians are fighting with our traders now even though its against our constitution. If police, law enforcement and immigration doesn't work, Citizens become furios and that is when they take the laws into their hands. In Nigeria they dont even allow Ghanaians to trade in their markets and when they come to Ghana, they have the audacity to compete with our mother's in the market. Gradually they are getting on our nerves. And if they think Ghanaians are quiet so they can do anything, then they should think again. ALL AFRICANS SHOULD FORCE AND PUSH ECOWAS TO CANCEL THAT BORDERLESS THING BEFORE AFRICANS TURN ON EACH OTHER
Cyril is turning a blind eye. We must protest till that nonsense of a president is removed
White people are also humane than us. Listen to the lady and you will agree with me
I don't understand what's so hard to solve such a small problem just close they shops don't let them in at clinic,s and schools hit them were is necessary they will eventually go back to they countries this criminals
South African under apartheid performanced better economically than under these black corrupt criminal leaders.
White companies are replacing South Africans with foreign nationals for low wage as the DA says they are against the minimum wage.Look at the bigger picture Ramaphosa and the gang are share holders of these white owned mining companies that are benefiting from exploitation of minerals in this African countries.Anglo gold,MTN,Standard bank, Glencore,Shoprite etc.South African are porns in this chess game.
The ANC let them in. Vote the ANC out.
Who are we building those schools, hospitals and clinics for? South Africans, documented and undocumented foreigners? With whose tax money?
Who want to go to sud africa and stay with animals?
We'll need more money to fight crime. I've we sort out crime there will be more jobs and lesser mansions and luxury and sports cars.
These criminals show no respect to law abiding South Africans they see us as idiots. They throw loved ones in to rivers and dams but gets bail.
Our justice system fails us with this light sentences and by giving bail to serious crime suspects.
The ANC, MK party and the EFF try to corrupt our minds with racism while they loot the country bankrupt. Killing whistle-blowers and people which what's to make South Africa a better place for all its citizens.
Xenophobia in a country not even fresh old to forget apartheid they liberated from collaboration across the continent.
They drug children’s out of school, pushed pregnant mothers from prenatal care clinic, executed men in streets in broad daylights and looted shops and stores viciously. What a shame, what a cowardice blame shifting and what an ignorant and troublesome people. Africa should stand against such a barbarism is emerging among us, questioning relations with SA government leading a lawless country.

Must the govt build schools, create jobs, build houses, give free water and electricity, etc, for foreigners? Africa's problems? First deal with removal of the millions of illegal foreigners
People still don't understand why the ANC invited Mrs de Klerk in Bloemfontein on freedom day
People still don't know that NP is a wolf in a sheep skin called ANC
ANC hate black South African people that they want to replace them with foreign nationals
There is no excuse for assaulting and beating foreigners in the streets. And many of the victims are indeed citizens. And even if they are illegal immigrants, it is immoral, evil, and criminal to assault another human being. There is no excuse. And anyone that condone these actions are devils. Change the laws, do not assault people.
But the illegal are flooding our country, we are a country that accept legal foreigners 🇿🇦🇿🇦✊🏽✊🏽
Why build more schools and hospitals for foreigners ? No we have enough of those they must go build in their own countries. She's talking nonsense.
Yes, the RULE OF LAW. Please enforce our IMMIGRATION LAWS. Stop playing fast and loose with the rules. Stop making up your own rules as you go along. We just saw a clear demonstration of our rule of law in the Mugabe case, Malema case, and the Ramaphosa situation and I must say it's trash.
Teresa please look at London in UK and tell us what do you see. We will fight until the government hears us.
What are you saying ??,sort out our issues now we are trying to sort out you complain
It treats South Africans right, what they vote is what they get. Should they first remove ANC from government, the better is South Africa. No doubt.
Politicians are so rich in such an extend that they even forget we are watching
Our So called President allowed all this bullshit to happened now He must face the music that's it
South African problem cañ be solved by government, we must change our voting patterns. We are on our own, remember constitution says" people shall govern". We can achieve that only when we elect leaders who understand problems of society, communities, individuals household in their respective village or town. We don't have such leaders right now.
This Leftie Diversity bullshit lady is talking rubbish.
They will eventually go to their countries and fix their own
Treu said lady we already have lot of issues here we must sort uor country uot after we have solve our problems and then we can talk true said lady we have stuf tat we must first sort uorselfs uot so foreigners must go back so long til we sorted in uor own cuontry
It's the coruptnes of this government if he can leave his corruption and care bout his poeple and stop caring bout tax poeples money and go back to drawing board and start from over maybe then wel come to solving some stuf the government sopose to regulate this thing from the get go but no he did not care and some say they did give Mandela money to come and mbeki but now they must go back and get moerd
All part of the ANC's Hunger Games.
your guest is delusional. What does enough hospitals look like? The so called developed countries have "enough" or "more" schools and everything else don't want an influx of migrants and enforce immigration laws. Teri doesn't know what she's saying.
This lady came from France! Obviously she is suppose to talk like this.NO ABAHAMBE BONKE!
Of course we don't blame them for all of our problems! We blame them for wanting colonize us economically and contributing to our high employment rate. We don't have jobs to spare, with a 60% youth unemployment rate and 33% national unemployment rate it makes no sense
South Africans need to be careful here. They are fighting the very same people whom they will ask for help, when the Israelis and mossad move in and destabilize South Africa. So instead of fighting amongst themselves, the Government is hiding the real problems to come in the western cape. There is a colony of tyrannical groups who paid off the same politicians to detract South Africans from the real enemy. Your government made the back end decisions with the criminal Rothschild's and the Crown in England to sell your freedom in exchange for their safety and wellbeing. The problem is South Africans talking and doing very little to come to terms with the Governments insidious activities behind the scenes. South Africans are the ones giving people power that don't care about South Africans. Start dealing with the enemy inside (your way of thinking, fundamental understanding of education within your family structures, your societal structures which are bureaucratic and gives power to one person or a group of people.
We are already a lawless country. The rot started at the top. Now it is everywhere
You can't talk of those infrastructure without talking of the rate of illegal immigrants.
