Sending envoys to apologise for xenophobia won't help – Inkosi Chiliza
2 October 2019
Envoys sent by President Cyril Ramaphosa to African countries to apologise for SA's xenophobia will not solve the heart of the issue, KwaZulu-Natal House of Traditional leader's chairperson Inkosi Phathisizwe Chiliza has said.
The outspoken Chiliza was commenting on various issues discussed by the provincial traditional leaders in a press briefing in Durban on Wednesday.
"Attacks of foreign nationals won't be solved by [the] president's meeting in foreign lands or having the discussion in big tents. What will solve the issue is going to grassroots and asking what the problem is."
He said when government reached the ground level, they would be able to understand the complexity of the issue better.
