An injury to an African immigrant is an injury to all: Anti-foreigner sentiment may be an election-winning issue come 2024. But African immigrants deserve better
will also potentially lose out on part of the electorate that feels foreigners are a weight we should shed.
This is unfortunate because the ill-will against African immigrants is often fuelled by ignorance of their plight. Indeed, the failure of our government to create more possibilities for employment in South Africa for South Africans is not a fault of the African immigrant. The waitresses at popular eateries across the country are not in great number foreign because the foreigner intentionally plotted to have South Africans excluded from employment in the sector. The fact that many African immigrants are found working on farms is not because they stood in the way of South Africans to be employed there.
argues in the case of Nigerians, South Africa “still remains attractive for Nigerians and others — simply because the corruption at home is so overwhelming, and with the economy recently sliding into recession more Nigerians are likely to take any opportunity to check out of the country. As bitter as bigotry in South Africa might be, it’s more endurable in the quest for a better life than the failure of Nigeria’s own governments.
