“For many years‚ South African authorities have largely failed to address past outbreaks of xenophobic crimes that have been seen in the country since at least 2008‚ including bringing those suspected to be responsible to justice‚” Mohamed said.

“The government must take concrete steps to hold suspected perpetrators to account. That begins with tackling impunity for past xenophobia-related crimes.”

At a media briefing following the meeting on Friday‚ international relations and cooperation minister Lindiwe Sisulu said the meeting looked at the criminality of these “sporadic attacks and the extent of these sporadic attacks and the source of these sporadic attacks”. Sisulu said in the next meeting‚ they hoped to deal with the socio-economic problems that gave rise to these sporadic attacks.

“Our policies are not xenophobic. Our laws are not xenophobic. But this does not mean we have never had xenophobic incidents‚” Sisulu said.“We are beginning to understand that usually these sporadic reactions of the communities‚ they usually react to some kind of activities on the ground‚” Cele said.“We should all condemn criminality and violence‚ whether caused by South Africans or foreigners‚” Cwele said.
