"Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever.

They blame the foreigners for taking their jobs and setting up businesses. In Nigeria we hear people at work, at home and in church using hateful language. We find excuses for the hateful words of religious, political and traditional leaders.

From the BBC
"It is believed that this latest round of xenophobic attacks comes in the wake of alleged comments by Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini telling migrants to go home - although he says he was mistranslated.
