South Africa blames foreign opposition parties for sending xenophobic texts

SOUTH AFRICA’s Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has pointed the finger at foreign opposition parties for being partly involved in sending xenophobic messages circulating on social media platforms mainly whats app and facebook.  Gigaba however, did not specify the identity of the opposition parties or where they were based.   He also acknowledged that South Africans were also behind the scary messages.  He threatened all those identified with prosecution.

In a media statement, Gigaba said:

…We urge all opposition parties in sending countries to desist from desperate attempts to lure migrants resident in RSA by hook-and-crook means.

Political campaigns to gain votes and win elections cannot be attained via threats, but by careful, cautious and vibrant diaspora campaigns.

We have reason to prosecute such opposition parties following due processes as happens in other regions and globally.
