Local rising star Sho Madjozi spoke up about xenophobia in the country in a lengthy Twitter thread on Wednesday. Xenophobic attacks in South Africa have been making headlines the last couple of days with Nigerian Tiwa Savage and Burna Boy pulling of out of planned performances in the country. The “John Cena” rapper also shared her thoughts on the current situation giving a very concise thread explaining nuances of Xenophobia.
She kicked her thread off by saying that the reason we have “bad leaders is because we want bad answers”. Further explaining that South Africans want black and white statements with regards to foreign nationals
The award-winning rapper goes on to say that “good leaders” would have to have a more nuanced approach to things and would have “to understand that more than one thing can be true at once and that some things can be partially true”.
The reason we have bad leaders is because we want bad answers. We want people to say “foreign nationals are completely innocent” or to say “foreign nationals are completely responsible for crime”.

However, according to her “good leaders” aren’t successful since people don’t want a “complex and multidimensional” answer which isn’t easily consumable. Stating that this is the reason we have inactive leaders and populists.
Sho Madjozi explains that denying the fact that there are areas where foreign nationals commit crime fuels anger in those that witness it daily. However, “allowing South Africans to believe that other Africans are responsible for most or all of the crime here is just false and also feeds into violence”.
