 South Africa's Ramaphosa warns against scapegoating migrants for economic woes

The country has seen ‌a wave of protests and sometimes violent attacks against other African nationals in recent weeks, driven by anti-immigrant groups who blame them for high unemployment, crime, and poor public services.


Speaking at the National Youth Day Commemoration in Johannesburg, Ramaphosa said that South Africans, and especially youth, ⁠were justifiably frustrated by these issues.


"Addressing these challenges requires practical solutions, not the scapegoating of vulnerable people," Ramaphosa said, Reuters reported.


"Even as we recognise the challenge of illegal immigration – which we are taking decisive action to address – our problems are in the main our own problems. ‌And ⁠which we have a responsibility to fix ourselves."


Ramaphosa has previously condemned the attacks on foreign nationals, a recurring problem in South Africa, but has struggled to clamp down on them. The country remains on edge ahead of a June 30 deadline ⁠which anti-immigrant groups have given all undocumented foreigners to leave.
