Before we examine the meaning of the word ‘xenophobia,’ let me state that the attack on Nigerians and other blacks by South Africans in that country is motivated by greed and petty jealousy against their fellow blacks, who, due to hard work and dogged determination, are doing better than them, in their own country.


Another reason for the attacks is because South Africans know they can vent their anger on citizens of Nigeria and other African countries whose governments are weak, without any serious consequence; they cannot attack Americans, Germans, Chinese and nationals of countries with serious governments.
