South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday warned against blaming migrants for the country's economic pain, saying they should not be scapegoated for South Africa's problems. The remarks come amid rising xenophobia tensions in the country, which have already led to economic fallout as local artists and businesses lose gigs across Africa. Ramaphosa's statement seeks to counter a growing narrative that migrants are responsible for South Africa's economic woes.
