Description

Protests by South Africans against immigrants might present an example of xenophobia taking hold in the country. These protests belong to a continuum that highlights some of the social pressures taking place currently in RSA. The danger of these protests becoming normalized is the risk of xenophobic politics taking ground in South Africa, and the return of the repertoires of Apartheid.
