Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has labelled recent anti-immigrant activity in South Africa as Afrophobia, warning that it reflects deeper divisions rooted in the continent’s history. Speaking at a media briefing in Johannesburg on Thursday, Malema argues that hostility towards foreign nationals is part of a broader colonial legacy aimed at dividing African nations. He says, “Colonialism survived by convincing Africans that they were strangers to one another. The Bellin conference divided us artificially into Anglophone, Francophone, Lusophone, and Arab Africa, not for our benefit, but to fragment Africa, African identity, and prevent continental unity.” submitted by /u/HoldMyBeer50 [link] [comments]
