South African President, Jacob Zuma has said that his country is not driving foreigners away; it is a very small number of people that are chasing foreigners away.
Zuma said “As government, we’re not saying to you go away. It is not every South African who is saying go away. It is a very small number of people who say so.
“We are firstly going to stop the violence then allow them to stay here. Even those who want to go home, they must know that when we have stopped the violence they are welcome to come back.”
Zuma added that his government is ready to assist in repatriating foreigners who want to go back to their countries.
Zimbabwe would start its repatriation process today and Malawi has already started its repatriation process.
Zuma had to cancel a trip to Indonesia in order to attend to matters relating to the attack on foreigners in the country.
