Xenophobia in South Africa - Learn 7
The fact is that this is by far the most likely event to break out iin South Africa. It has already happened twice (although with less severity the second time), and it will most probably happen again. The most probable cause of it is the crippling rate of poverty in South Africa.
Now I'm sure you're wondering what I mean by xenophobia? You probably know that the dictionary xenophobia means fear of foreigners. However in South Africa it has a different, more sinister meaning. In South Africa, when people use the phrase, it is usually as a shorthand for xenophobic attacks. This means that people attack foreigners, simply because they are foreigners.
So, what data could we gather? For me, the first data tracked would be the amount of people displaced. Both times the attacks happen many foreigners flee from their areas to safer ones. If possible (via various use of surveys, estimates of previous population as compared to others), the first thing would be to track these results, identify the hotspots and then investigate what exactly is causing these areas to be so volatile, then act to remedy the situation. Another thing to track would be the caused as a result of xenophobia. Although the deaths are usually in a relatively small amount, they would provide indication of which areas are in extreme uprest.
So what info would need to be sent out?The first info to be sent out would be to people who are in hotspots and are foreigners and send them info of the upcoming attack. The second usage I think would be to send a survey to everyone in hotspots asking why they are dissatisfied with current affairs and thus attacking foregners. So, thats all I can think of. Anymore thoughts?
