What's behind xenophobic attacks in South Africa?

Shops looted and set ablaze. Terrified foreigners hiding in police stations and stadiums. Machete-wielding attackers hacking immigrants to death in major cities in South Africa.
As attacks against foreigners and their businesses rage on, killing at least six people this week, other nations in the continent are scrambling to evacuate their citizens from South Africa. But this is not the first time xenophobic violence has exploded in a country that tries to portray itself as a diverse "rainbow" nation.

What triggered this week's attacks?They started after Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini said at a recent gathering that foreigners "should pack their bags and go" because they are taking jobs from citizens, local media reported.

But this isnt about a comment about the king there is a demonic spirit attached to every attack what mind would make another person take a knife and stab another person thereafter feel remorse after the attack I couldnt watch the attack on the Mozambique  man that was attacked my heart is too soft to watch it. The earlier people stop the habit of finding out history of xenophobic attack and focus on how we all should reconcile with God and plead for mercy the better for us as individuals and a nation as a whole
