SA business warn government over xenophobia backlash
Calls on the state to 'get on top of the situation and restore order'.
There’s mounting concern among business groups over rising public tensions surrounding illegal immigration and the potential for further outbreaks of xenophobic violence.
Business Unity South Africa (Busa) and Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) on Friday urged government to take charge of the situation, restore order and address the legitimate concerns raised by communities impacted by years of illegal immigration. This is the latest joint warning by the two business organisations, as it comes just a day after they called for action on the City of Joburg’s worsening financial crisis.
