Hello im christine want to welcome to news africa im glad you did theres been a series of looting incidents in south africa residents from the township of celestial save to have gone on an overnight sporty on wednesday a tall detain shops run by foreign nationals this video circulating on social media pope wants to show a mob ransacked shop continued on thursday morning this video taken in soweto steeped with district shows a separate mark the South African government has on the day of the raids. Were going to go over to soweto now way to fulfil those into malaya is standing by he is the director console t. M. Of refugees and migrants in south africa its an ngo based and it johannesburg welcome sit africa day full so you were at the scene in that did goof this morning where one of those shops was attacked and i believe you actually standing outside of it what did you see. This scene now seems to be calm to cool bot is not guaranteed whether their lives of the nation are safe but the police have been not allowed in the scene but this situation is very much bad because almost all the foreign shop has been closed down there. And there is nothing more left in those shops ok and you have spoken to some of the victims what do they plan to do now are what are you gauge some of the foreign nation out of owning some of the shops in the. Areas they have now back at the area yet and for their lives because they think their life comes fast so what they are thinking of doing is to go big maybe to other areas where these kind of are texans you know for be got to have taken place that where they feel like their life will be safe and be protected so they go into their field of friends families so that for the time being they can be living with them there ok and what exactly are you doing full for these people i know that youre involved if you open a station what if its if you put in place. What we have plenty to do is to engage the u. N. H. C. R. Of which we have already made contact with to see how best can we. Have been displaced and from day out there is can we start engaging on issues of free integration and building. Process so that people that may be can be back in the community and also to educate the communities about their rights or for a few days im sick as a migrant what encounters so that they can understand what kind of people theyre living with in the communities. Is this the xenophobia that weve seen in south africa was to a foreign nationals attacked is it bad because i read a government statement condemning this new saying but the statement didnt use the word santa phobia but is this what it is. Christine is very much surprising from the South African perspective because in march dca the government as i talk to the National Action plan to combat racism what i said discrimination is you know phobia and related intolerance apart when these things kind of attacks happens government authorities and other 11th authorities they shy away of using the words you know phobia whereas the National Action plans was launched and is no phobia was identified as one of the areas and one of the problems that normally takes place in our communities so we are starting to wonder when you see that the government will start calling these actions you know phobia so that if they call if they would write way they would be able to develop the process the same strategies in terms of addressing it because most of the time besides the issues of Economic Development and high rate of unemployment and that question is to us as the constitution for if you said migrants if the government and the 11 to authorities they know that these are not caused by economy constitution and the high rate of unemployment why are they not doing anything about it these things started in 2008 up to now they still say in the very same thing off unemployment economy issues if they know that those are related to economy going to implement why are they not doing something about it. From the consortium off refugees and migrants from south africa thank you.
