An initiative to stamp out xenophobia in the city has been proposed by Metro Police, representatives of Helen Zille’s department and The Muslim Judicial Council.
The initiative has been co-ordinated by an office in Provincial Legislature and aims to find long-term solutions to resolve conflict between foreign nationals and locals.
The proposal came about as xenophobic attacks continue to plague the city and country.
The idea has been met with mixed reaction from the public. One member of the public felt that it would not offer a permanent solution to the problem because it is a mindset engrained in society. He suggested that educating people would deal with the problem more effectively.
A Zimbabwean refugee was more confident and believed that with the support of city officials and the police, the problem could be curbed.
