Anglican archbishop Thabo Makgoba said on Sunday he was \u201cappalled and ashamed\u201d at the violent attacks on foreigners in South Africa last week, as well as the ongoing attacks on truckers.<\/p>\n
Preaching at church services in Cape Town, the archbishop urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to \u201cdemand that the responsible branches of government act firmly, and especially that those who attacked people and looted their homes and businesses will be arrested and prosecuted\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe [in the church] are deeply disturbed by the recent orchestrated attacks on citizens from outside our country \u2013 sadly called foreign nationals \u2013 for no one is foreign, all are God’s people and all are Africans. I am appalled and ashamed by the violence meted out against them, especially against truck drivers, and at the prejudice voiced against these vulnerable people who come from beyond our borders.”<\/p>\n
He voiced his shock that South Africans could inflict the same pain on others as they had experienced in apartheid\u2019s forced removals.<\/p>\n
