This new move by Zulu King of South Africa seems to be in the right direction.
After much pressure, South African Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini finally agrees to call an end to the xenophobic attack. The monarch was credited with fueling the xenophobic violence that led to the death of many and the displacement of others.
According to City Pres, Zwelithini has now called an imbizo in Durban for tomorrow, where he is expected to call for an end to xenophobic attacks.The imbizo, at which the king
will address the province’s traditional leaders and their subjects, will be
held at the Moses Mabhida Stadium at 10am.

The President of South Africa who paid a visit to the Chatsworth refugee centre in Durban told the foreigners
that the government was not forcing them to go, but would provide transport to
repatriate those who wanted to leave. Those who wanted to stay, he said, would
get help to return to their communities.

“We are not fighting
with you as government. Not every South African is saying you must go. It is a
small number of people who want you to go,” President Zuma said. “We want us to
live as sister and brother.”
