South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed deep concern and regret over the mistreatment of foreign nationals in the country, emphasizing that such actions do not reflect the values of South Africa.
Speaking during the 46th Southern African Development Community (SADC) Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government held in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, Ramaphosa acknowledged reports of foreigners being subjected to hostility and threats of violence that forced some to leave the country.
“We are deeply concerned and ashamed that people from other nations were treated badly and even forced to leave the country under the threat of violence,” the President stated during his address.
Ramaphosa reaffirmed South Africa’s commitment to promoting unity, peace, and regional cooperation among African nations. He stressed the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of all individuals living within the country, regardless of their nationality.
The President’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions across the region about migration, social cohesion, and the need to strengthen relations among SADC member states. His statement has been viewed as a call for tolerance and collective efforts to combat xenophobia while fostering greater solidarity across Southern Africa.
The 46th SADC Summit brought together regional leaders to discuss key issues affecting the region, including economic development, security, and regional integration.
