There are many South Africans all over the world in foreign lands! Why are these shallow minded & barbaric people doing this to other Africans/foreigners living in SA? Inferiority complex is your problem in SA not other Africans. Shame unto YOU! #Xenophobia pic.twitter.com/ABVKOA85gI— Juliet Ibrahim (@julietibrahim) September 3, 2019
