Experts said South Africa should work with its African counterparts to finally tackle the underlying root causes of xenophobic attacks.

A political analyst with the University of South Africa, Somadoda Fikeni, said on Tuesday that the issue of limited resources in poor communities could not be ignored and the governments should be serious about getting to the bottom of this.

“The government has not dealt with the source which is fuelling the attacks which is the struggle for resources in poor areas,” he said. Trust Matsilele, a political analyst said it was clear that other African governments were not pleased with South Africa’s actions on the attacks.However, he agreed that if “we’re failing to address the factors that are pushing citizens from other countries to South Africa, we would fail to deal with this.”

“We fully agree with our president that the xenophobic violent attacks on our fellow African brothers and sisters have damaged our reputation and our standing as a country.
