Ernst Mabuza’s TimesLIVE article explains that there is a small – yet highly vocal – minority in South Africa with extreme anti-foreigner sentiment.

 

This is according to research conducted by Citizen Surveys, which was commenting following a spate of attacks on foreign nationals in some parts of Soweto on Wednesday night.
