Some celebs and the general public for days now have been condemning the xenophobic attacks on black foreign nationals in South Africa. 

Others have been sharing their horrifying experiences.

Joining the talks to share their experience is the wife of rapper Sarkodie.

According to Tracy Owusu Addo, popularly known as Tracy Sarkcess, she never felt safe when she visited South Africa in March this year.

“I realised that whenever a black South African made me out not to be one of them, they would treat me differently,” she tweeted.

Tracy revealed a driver once looked at her weirdly, “I actually thought he might want to rape me” after she had told him she was Ghanaian.

She believes xenophobia is deeply rooted in South Africa because of apartheid.

Tracy Sarkcess suggested the re-orientation of black South Africans can be a start to dealing with the menace.

For the past three days, Xenophobia has been trending at number one since South Africans unleashed their anger on black foreigners living there.

South Africans are claiming other black foreign nationals are taken over their jobs leaving them with little means to survive.

The attacks have gotten so severe Nigerians are calling for the shutdown of South African companies in the country. Other countries have reportedly withdrawn from the World Economic Forum coming up in South Africa because of these attacks.

Thread: 1. I was in SA this year in March for 4 weeks and I never felt safe. I realised that whenever a black South African made me out not to be one of them, they would treat me differently & sometimes ask where I”™m from. I remember one driver asking that same question...

3. My point is this xenophobia thing is real in SA but it”™s deeply rooted in the apartheid culture. To be honest, it still feels like apartheid there where the Black South Africans are very much afraid of the whites.

4. I don”™t know what the solution is but I think it has to start with the re-education of Black South Africans. #SayNoToXenophobicAttacks
