#SAYNOTOXENOPHOBIA

who are we?

people of different races and countries saying no to xenophobia

All human beings are born equal and free, we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect thus, xenophobia is one the injustices we are trying to get rid of. Since our existence, we were never the same. What I am saying is that we are people of different skin colour, we speak different languages and are from different parts of the world. Yet the are still people who hate others because their difference. 

The disadvantages of xenophobia

Writing this is actually embarrassing, I am ashamed of being South African. Xenophobic attacks cause a lot of problems in South Africa, this irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries affects the country economically, politically as well as our social lives .Foreign investors won’t invest money in a country where their people are not welcome.SA won’t be able to invest abroad due to the attacks, people don’t do business with countries associated with violence. People are being killed like animals only because their foreigners.for visuals click here. Tourists visit countries based on its reputation meaning people won’t visit our country because they simply don’t want to die. Costing SA loss of money, every live matters let’s not act barbaric.for more info click here
