South Africa's Anti-Immigrant Violence

Listen Tuesday, May. 20, 2008 at 1:06 p.m. in Conflict, Politics

South Africa has long been a magnet for immigrants from across Africa, especially neighboring Zimbabwe. But many South Africans -- especially those living at or below the poverty line -- resent foreign workers, who they blame for high unemployment. This week a wave of anti-immigrant violence erupted across South Africa. Kojo looks at the issues underpinning the violence.
