Boycott of South Africa entities to force ANC to empower the people

In what has now become a regular occurrence since South Africa gained independence, violent xenophobic attacks reared their ugly heads again this week. While there have been constant anti-immigrant attacks since 1994, the peak attacks occurred in 2008 when more than 65 people were killed, in the 2015 Durban riots and in 2017.

During these attacks, which the well-organised perpetrators allege are targeting those immigrant communities taking South African jobs and businesses and/or engaging in criminal conduct, many homes and businesses have been damaged and thousands of people displaced. Unlike the past, there was unusual collective anger in Africa this week. While most Africans have been empathetic of the frustrations that cause South Africans to hit out at their African cousins every so often, patience seems to have run out.
