Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia KAAX
@KopanangAfrica
Our struggle is against xenophobic violence & all forms of division & hatred Our struggle is to build unity as we fight for human dignity & decent work for all!
📢 Open Letter to Withdraw the White Paper Dear @PresidencyZA & @HomeAffairsSA , On behalf of Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia (KAAX) and 115 organizations across South Africa and the broader African continent, we draw your immediate attention to the attached open letter.
❌ 32.9% unemployment. ❌ 1 rape every 12 minutes. ❌ 25% below food poverty line. Scapegoating migrants? Cowardice. Solidarity > Hate. READ why: dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-0…
The Commission has noted with serious concern social media accounts impersonating one of its Commissioners’. These accounts are spreading hate-speech and xenophobic statements. This issue is receiving the necessary attention
Clinics are for healing, NOT border checks. Xenophobic protests blocking refugees & migrants from healthcare in clinics violate SA’s Constitution (Section 27) & int'l law. Pregnant women, HIV+ patients, chronic illness sufferers are denied basic care. polity.org.za/article/clinic…

#nelsonmandeladay2025
Under the theme, "It's Still in Our Hands to Combat Poverty and Inequity," CoRMSA commemorates #NelsonMandelaInternationalDay. We believe poverty affects all of us equally and knows no borders.
This #MandelaDay2025, KAAX urges reflection on Madiba's 1962 words exposing dehumanization. Today, vigilante groups treat African migrants as a "separate breed." We must stand united against xenophobia & inequality. #KAAX #NoToXenophobia kaax.org.za/kaax-mandela-d…
