A wise man once said that when xenophobes are done targeting foreigners, they will eventually turn on fellow South Africans whom they think do not “look South African.” Sadly, that is exactly what is now happening. It is heartbreaking to watch brother turn against brother, South African turn against South African, simply because they speak different vernacular languages, belong to different ethnic groups, or do not fit someone else’s narrow idea of what a South African should look like. This is backward, dangerous, and deeply shameful. A country cannot build unity or progress when people are policing each other’s identity based on accents, language, skin tone, surnames, or tribes. Today it is someone being accused of being foreign. Tomorrow it will be another South African being told they are not “South African enough.” That is how hatred destroys societies from within. This is why the rest of the world sometimes laughs at Africans. We fight each other over the very things that should make us stronger, our diversity, cultures, and identities. Instead of uniting against poverty, corruption, unemployment, and failed leadership, people are busy hunting one another over tribe and language. This is the worst form of ignorance because it strips people of their dignity and humanity. I hope this brother recovers from the trauma and humiliation of being treated like an outsider in his own country. I cannot imagine the pain of being called a foreigner by people who believe you must speak their language or look like them to belong.
