President Ramaphosa was jeered by the crowd as he prepared to speak. Officials appealed for silence so that President Ramaphosa could begin his address. This comes on the back of a wave of attacks on foreign nationals in Gauteng.Shops of foreign nationals were among those burnt and looted.
South Africa has been condemned by a number of African countries for the recent attacks on foreign nationals.He told the crowd that his administration is working hard to encourage a welcoming attitude among South Africans toward foreign nationals – including those from neighbouring Zimbabwe. President Cyril Ramaphosa booed in Zimbabwe as he takes to the podium. This is obviously related to Xenophobia.
