Former President John Mahama
Former President John Mahama has called on the South African Government to take responsibility of xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
The renewed xenophobic attacks on African nationals started on Thursday, August 29, 2019.
Shops belonging to foreign nationals are allegedly being looted by South Africans.
In a statement on his official Facebook page, Mr. Mahama indicated that “certainly the South African Government must take responsibility for these inhuman actions and implement urgent steps to prevent these attacks from recurring in the future.”
The xenophobic attacks on Africans in Alexandra, South Africa are condemnable and run absolutely contrary to all our efforts at continental integration, according to Mr. Mahama who is leading the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the 2020 Presidential Election.
He explained that “clearly, and as I have said in the past, the perpetrators of these gruesome attacks are ignorant of the continental solidarity that was required to defeat apartheid and give birth to the new South African nation.”
