ABSTRACT
This research is a critical analysis of xenophobic attacks in South
Africa. Xenophobia is a fear of strangers or foreigners. The
discrimination and unfair treatment against foreigners is as old as the
history of the World. This controversial issue of xenophobic attacks
has attracted scholars who attempt to find a lasting solution to the
issue. We exist at a time where government and authorities look
away when such matters arise. We exist at a time where government
and authorities look away when such matters arise. The foreigners are
to face stigmatization and even death threat, without protection from
relevant authorities. Our objective here is to find out what normally
trigger xenophobic attacks on foreigners? What can be done to stop
xenophobia and xenophobic attacks around the World? We deploy
qualitative method, using critical conceptual analysis and speculative
approach; consulting textbooks, journals, newspapers, and surfing the
internet for available relevant materials. The study concluded that the
issue of xenophobia can be put to rest by educating people through
enforcement of educational policy with action plans that include the
revision of history and civil education curriculum to accommodate
some moral contents.
