Majority of SA against xenophobia, says Tito Mboweni at WEF Africa | IOL News

Cape Town - Finance Minister Tito Mboweni on Thursday told the World Economic Forum on Africa that the majority of South Africans were against xenophobia, calling for a political solution to attacks on foreign nationals.

"Here in SA, we are going through a very difficult time of these animosities that have been generated and the violence, but there are responsible authorities dealing with that. But central to solving the issue is not just an issue of the police or whatever, it's a political question," said Mboweni. Mboweni said the free movement of goods on the continent to improve intra-African trade was dependent on the free movement of people.
