*Xenophobia Doesn't Sufficiently Explain Violent Attacks In SA: Magaisa* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?nu Alex Magaisa’s recent blog suggests that xenophobia does not adequately explain violent attacks in the SA. He thinks the attacks which followed Ramaphosa’s speech on illegal foreign-owned business were motivated by a number of variables. For him, the need to find a scapegoat for failure by leaders could be the reason for foreign targetted attacks. Among several examples, he mentioned the Jewish Holocaust authored by Hitler to illustrate his point. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- Magaisa also thinks that the attacks are symptomatic of a phenomenon he termed “parochial nationalism”. Parochial nationalism relates to nationalism based on ignorance. Magaisa thinks politicians pursuing populist policies incite parochial nationalism. For him, > It manifests in different forms including isolationism, withdrawal from multilateralism, exclusionary policies, largely targeted at immigrants, hate-filled rhetoric, physical violence, and generally xenophobic attitudes and practices. Magaisa also revealed that Ramaphosa addressed immigration in a way suggestive of parochial nationalism. For him, the phenomenon is more established in more advanced economies, particularly, the USA, UK and Europe.
