Xenophobia: South Africa returnees share harrowing accounts of attacks and loss of livelihoods



At least 47 Kenyans arrived in the country last night, fleeing escalating xenophobic violence in South Africa. The mass departure comes as the June 30 deadline set by South African immigration authorities for foreign nationals to formalise their status or face deportation continues to fuel hostility and unrest. The returnees, who arrived exhausted and traumatised, shared harrowing accounts of loss, targeted violence and the abrupt end to their livelihoods. Four people have reportedly been killed so far, with businesses looted and vandalised.

  1. Zulus hatred to African and other tribes in South Africa, I am SouthAfrican from different tribe also subjected in this hate by Zulus, they only respect Xhosa tribe only in SA.

  2. Come on, KTN, why spread false information? The so-called June 30th deadline was never an official government directive; it was fabricated by vigilante groups and anti-immigration activists pushing fear and division. Their real aim isn't justice; it's violence, looting, and chaos. The South African government has repeatedly rejected this narrative and spoken out against it. By sharing this misinformation, you're only amplifying the voices of those who want to harm our communities. Please take a moment to think before you share this information.

  3. The irony in filing an ICC case against Israel while persecuting their fellow Africans.
    We just need a couple of upstanding presidents in Ghana, Nigeria, Malawi, or Mozambique (forget Kenya – the president is a wanker) to put the squeeze on South African companies and this ends in a week.

  4. It is not Xenophobia. They are chasing illegal migrants. Kenya we are heading there with all people entering the country with no documents. This often results in high crime rates and drug use. News and misleading people. The same is also happening across Europe.
