Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma took to social media to plead with South Africans not to attack fellow Africans.
Politicians have joined the public in condemning xenophobic attacks in Durban, following recent incidents that saw foreign nationals seek shelter in community halls, mosques and police stations.
Foreign nationals who reside in areas such as Sydenham, Jadhu Place informal settlement and Overport were attacked last week. "Stop your self-hatred, stop attacking our brothers from Africa, our sisters from Africa, we are one thing. You say they are taking your jobs [but] even if we expel them tomorrow, you will still not get a job. There are no jobs in South Africa because whites are refusing to invest money."
