Former South Africa’s Deputy Minister, who is currently the Chairman,

MTN Group, Mcebisi Jonas has condemned the ongoing Xenophobic crisis in South Africa, blaming the situation on the failure of the South African government.

Jonas who spoke at the funeral service of Zimbabwean-born activist and public servant, Thokozani Damasane, delivered a sweeping and unsparing condemnation of the ongoing anti-foreigner sentiment in South Africa and how it is a symptom of state failure being cynically exploited by politicians with no interest in genuine solutions.
