President Cyril Ramaphosa has apologised for the Afrophobic attacks that took place in the past two weeks in South Africa stating that his Government is working hard to encourage social cohesion, and to ensure South Africans learn to embrace foreigners.
President Ramaphosa said this today to mourners who were gathered at the National Sports Stadium where the funeral service for the late former President Robert Mugabe was being held.
The mourners present jeered up to the apologetic message by President Ramaphosa.
The Afrophobic attacks in South Africa which affected Zimbabweans left some foreigners dead as the South Africans indicated that the foreigners are taking their jobs.
Speaking during the 10th meeting of Secretaries General of Former Liberation Movements, African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General, Elias Sekgobela commented on the Afrophobic attacks stating that South Africans are not violent but the violence is being spearheaded by the people who want to influence regime change agenda.
“In our country forces of regime change are fuelling xenophobic warfare against the African people. The aim is to perpetuate disunity and therefore weaken the unity of the African continent.
“The people of our country are the epitome of Ubuntu, the epitome of nation building and formation. Therefore the people of the African continent are out own brothers and sisters from the same womb of the mother,” said Sekgobela.
