Movie Review: ‘A United Kingdom’ (2016) janv. 14 21 Serious Concern at Escalating State Xenophobia in South Africa mai 18 20 Tearing racism up from its capitalist roots: An African anarchist-comm... août 10 18 For how long can South African elites keep misleading the people?![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Those in power don’t want to confront the status quo of hatred against immigrants, or South Africa’s imperialist role in the region. They have a narrow set of interests: getting votes, accumulating wealth and power. However, the recent wave of attacks on immigrants and the ruptures of relations with other African countries – especially where South African corporations are operating – have touched the most delicate nerves of the established political powers, who have vowed to advance corporate interests in making profits. Regardless of who you vote for, these corporations reign above people, along with big politicians and state officials. Whether you are a South African or a “foreign” member of the working class, you remain a threat to these elites. And if you unite, as the masses, against the elites, they get deeply worried. This is not surprising as today South Africa is the most unequal country in the world. When Abahlali baseMjondolo (AbM) activists together with foreign nationals marched against xenophobia in Durban, the police blocked them, telling AbM activists to “stay away from things that do not concern them.” The recent actions by the South African National Defence Force, in occupying areas where the anti-foreigner attacks took place, but targeting foreigners in these raids, is also a tactic to weaken those showing solidarity with victims of xenophobia and those who are critical of ANC government. |
