Why I Reject “Xenophobia” as the Master Explanation I reject the automatic description of this movement as xenophobia because I do not accept that hatred of Africans is its principal cause. Black South Africans do not generally encounter African migrants as an abstract racial or cultural category. They encounter them materially, inside overcrowded townships and an economy defined by unemployment, landlessness, low wages, failing services and competition over extremely scarce opportunities. The conflict is therefore not adequately explained by fear or hatred of foreigners. It is produced through competition over work, trading space, housing, customers, public services and economic survival. Research that uses the language of xenophobia frequently acknowledges that conflict is driven by competition over jobs, housing, healthcare and other resources. The economic foundation is therefore admitted, even while the moral label is elevated above it. My argument is not that no person has ever expressed hatred towards migrants. Nor am I saying that no act committed during this mobilisation can be motivated by nationality. I am saying that xenophobia is analytically inadequate as the name for the movement itself. The term takes a material struggle and converts it into a psychological defect. It changes the question from: Why are historically dispossessed South Africans fighting over shrinking economic space? to: What is wrong with Black South Africans that they dislike foreigners? That transformation is ideological. It relocates responsibility from economic structures, immigration policy and government failure into the supposedly diseased minds of the poor. Xenophobia as a disciplinary construct In the South African context, “xenophobia” has become more than a description. It has become a disciplinary category. It is repeatedly used by sections of the political elite, the professional commentariat and the NGO sector to instruct the poorest South Africans about which grievances they may legitimately express. The migrant may speak about hunger, displacement and economic necessity. The South African poor must remain silent about hunger, displacement and economic necessity, because speaking may expose them to the accusation of xenophobia. The migrant’s search for opportunity is humanised. The South African’s defence of opportunity is criminalised. The migrant is understood structurally—as a person shaped by economic conditions. The South African is judged morally—as a person corrupted by prejudice. This is an unequal distribution of compassion and political agency. I therefore regard the indiscriminate use of “xenophobia” as part of the ideological machinery through which the Black majority is disciplined. The term can be valid when it describes a specific act: an assault motivated by nationality, the targeting of a documented person because of an accent, or collective punishment imposed upon people simply because they are foreign. But it becomes deceptive when it is used to erase distinctions between violence and protest, between nationality and legal status, between lawful deportation and arbitrary expulsion, and between hatred of Africans and opposition to uncontrolled economic migration. Once these distinctions disappear, the label no longer clarifies reality. It governs which parts of reality may be spoken about. liberation begin with sovereign, organised peoples rather than with the permanent circulation of dispossessed populations across a continent still governed by neocolonial power. This is a rewritten for social media consumption- from my paper: Beyond Xenophobia: The Dialectics of Class, Borders and Black Survival

He charged each illegal immigrant he brought into South Africa R80 000. The foreign national took over an abandoned airport in South Africa in the Eastern Cape, renovate the runway. From there, he starts bringing 500 people every 2 days in South Africa using his plane.

"Must be arrested tonight."—Madlanga Commission Hears How EFF Leader Julius Malema Allegedly Called on SAPS General Feroz Khan to Arrest Members of Operation Dudula Who Were Planning to Remove Undocumented Foreign Hawkers Evidence leader Advocate Chaskalson has unpacked key WhatsApp messages revealing how Tobacco Company Boss Sayed forwarded conversations between him and EFF leader Julius Malema to Crime Intelligence General Feroz Khan. The critical exchange occurred on 10 June 2021, when Malema specifically asked Sayed to send an Operation Dudula poster together with the direct message "Must be arrested tonight." Sayed carried out the alleged instruction by relaying the poster and related messages to General Khan. The Operation Dudula post stated: "OPERATION DUDULA SOUTH AFRICA FOR SOUTH AFRICANS WE WILL BE REMOVING ALL ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONALS BY FORCE!!! MEETING POINT DIEPKLOOF HALL, 16 JUNE @ 8AM SIDUDULA INSIDE SHOPS & HAWKERS IF YOU ARE OPERATING ILLEGALLY YOU BETTER PACH AND LEAVE BEFORE THE JUNE 16." This reflected the movement's plans to act against illegal foreign nationals. The communications show Malema's efforts to allegedly protect illegal immigrants targeted by Operation Dudula. By routing the poster and arrest demand through Sayed to General Khan, it appears that Malema sought swift police action to stop the group's planned forceful removals from shops and communities ahead of the 16 June gathering. Advocate Chaskalson continues to unpack these messages as part of the evidence review. The exchanges demonstrate Malema's use of high-level contacts to counter the anti-illegal immigration campaign. The messages reveal a willingness to call on high-level police contacts for swift action aligned with protecting illegal immigrants from grassroots pushback.
