Zimbabwe rejects calls to expel South Africans over xenophobia attacks
The Zimbabwean government has rejected calls to expel an estimated 25,000 South Africans living in the country, insisting it will not resort to retaliatory measures despite growing anti-foreigner sentiment and recurring xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
Zimbabwe's stance underscores its commitment to protecting legally resident foreign nationals despite mounting domestic calls for reciprocal action, as migration and xenophobia continue to strain relations between South Africa and several African countries.
His comments come amid renewed concerns over xenophobia in South Africa, where foreign nationals have at times been blamed for crime, unemployment and pressure on public services, fuelling anti-immigrant campaigns and sporadic attacks.
