NGO Conducts Research on Xenophobia in Alexandra
The Forced Migration Studies Programme (FMSP) at the University of the Witwatersrand is determined to unpack the likely reasons for the recent xenophobic attacks in Alexandra, north of Johannesburg.
FMSP believes that the reasons why the hostility exploded in some places and not in others with similar conditions, lie in how the communities are organised.
FMSP’s Jean Pierre Misago says: “We’re not interested in actually finding individuals who did that but in whether there was kind of a community mobilisation that was behind it.”
