Xenophobia threat - Nelson Mandela Foundation warns of Xenophobia after world cup

Cape Town, South Africa - There is a big threat, not just a rumour of Xenophobic attacks when the final whistle blows after the World Cup. Xenophobia or ethnic cleansing is on the rise again and this time it seems to be bigger. At the moment most people call it rumours but rumours have the power to start something even if they are just rumours. Hopefully in this case they will remain rumours.

The Nelson Mandela foundation said they are "concerned" about these rumours against "non-nationals" in South Africa .

As Nelson Mandela once said:

"We cannot blame other people for our troubles. We are not victims to the influx of foreign people into South Africa. We must remember that it was mainly due to the aggressive and hostile policies of the apartheid regime that the economic development of our neighbours was undermined."
