Un-African? Ubuntu? Have they heard of Somalia, Congo or any other African country that murdered part of their population? Zimbabwe are already on that road.
... According to a police report late on Sunday, 13 people had died over the weekend and at least 200 had been arrested in connection with the attacks, which the United Cities and Local Governments of Africa has called "un-African".
"We call upon the government of South Africa to use all its powers in law to stop this un-African behaviour by misguided people who have lost all sense of ubuntu, which essentially says strangers are always welcomed with open arms, treated with respect and protected in an African home."
Meanwhile, the National Union of Metalworkers of SA, worried that attacks might spread to industrial workplaces, has decided to launch a campaign to educate workers against the dangers of criminalising foreign nationals and "portraying other African immigrants as undesirable people".
The Democratic Alliance reiterated its call for military intervention, saying the situation was uncontrollable as many informal settlements were being attacked at once.
It also said money spent on arms could have been better spent securing the country's borders.
