The Guardian discusses xenophobic violence and politics in South Africa

The Guardian editorial discusses the rise of xenophobic violence in South Africa, linking it to anti-migrant politics.

It emphasizes that blaming foreigners for issues such as unemployment and crime does not address the root problems within the country.

The editorial recalls Nelson Mandela's historical remarks on the dangers of hatred towards foreigners, showing continuity in the social issue over three decades.

It calls for South African leaders to openly acknowledge and confront the scapegoating of migrants rather than perpetuating it.

The editorial argues that constructive solutions to domestic problems should not involve targeting migrant populations.
