Johannesburg. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday warned against blaming migrants for the country’s economic challenges, saying foreign nationals should not be made scapegoats for South Africa’s problems.
The country has experienced a wave of protests and, at times, violent attacks against African migrants in recent weeks, driven by anti-immigrant groups that accuse them of contributing to unemployment, crime and pressure on public services.
Speaking during National Youth Day commemorations in Johannesburg, Ramaphosa said South Africans, particularly young people, were understandably frustrated by these challenges.
