The South African Government has begun to lament the impacts of xenophobic claims by some individuals, leading to income loss for businesses of its citizens abroad.
The government, through its Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mmamoloko Kubayi, clarified that the mass evacuation that recently happened in the country was targeted at illegal African immigrants, devoid of xenophobia.
She said this during an interview with SABC on Sunday, stressing that the country was facing backlash and that some of its artistes were having their shows cancelled across the continent.
“We can’t lie about the backlash, and that is why part of the work that we are doing as government, as well through DECO, is engagement with businesses abroad, South African companies abroad.
“Minister Alamola has met with them, and we are providing services, support services and consular services for those businesses on the continent and outside the continent,” she said.
