South African president Jacob Zuma on Monday made what may appear to be a controversial speech when he said foreigners are partly too blame for the recent anti-immigrant violence in South Africa.
The South African leader was reacting to recent backlash from African countries on how he has handled the crisis. “As much as we can have a problem alleged to be xenophobic, our brother countries contributed to this,” President Zuma reportedly said adding that “why are the citizens not in their countries?”
