Violence against foreigners in South Africa


South Africa has high number of unemployment rate particularly in the black segment of the population. The high unemployment rate causes South Africans resentment to foreigners who they feel are taking the jobs away from them. Businesses in South Africa are illegally using refugees from the neighboring countries for cheap labor. The South African government should help refugees but must not compromise the right of their own citizens to earn a living. It’s their duty to serve and protect their people. They should also sanction businesses that hire cheap labors and favor foreigners over South Africans. It’s the only way to end the violence.
