The notion of South Africa being a rainbow nationis once again under scrutiny as the number of attacks multiply on foreigners who seek opportunities in the most Western and capitalist of African nations. The xenophobic anger by Black South Africans should not really seem that unusual as in the height of the apartheid era black on black tribal vengeance and anger idled most of the blood. South Africans turn their anger to their miserable conditions onto other Africans who come from miserable conditions shows the pathetic overall actions of people in this hot region. 
Six million foreigners live in South Africa and travel to the area for the business opportunities that are more available in this land thanks to the creation of capital through the English and Afrikaans pioneers through the centuries. The migrants from Zimbabwe and Smalia come for the same reason the supposedly Bantu natives of South African first trekked down South most as the Dutch and English were already well established in the Cape and something with the tribes xenophobic nature has to do much more than socioeconomic issues. This was clearly something the White settlers saw early as the importance of land ownership and how you use it to build a nation became apparent. How the hell are Chinese investors suppose to settle and invest into the economy of South Africa if they cant even accept their fellow black Africans. The amount of corruption by the upper classes of South African have not trickled down to the average South African and instead is being used to encourage migration of people who seek lower wages than what is needed by natives of South Africa. The expectations of South Africans and desiring to be middle class when they did their best to chase out foreign investment with the AAfrikaan power structure because they couldn't live next door to these people should of been reexamined ore instead of racial pride. If the Afrikaaners and English been allowed to control the country for fifty or more years all this poverty, corruption, xenophobic attacks, and unemployment would not be much of an issue so now South Africans will need to accept a endemic economy and hope their foreign neighbors just don't decide to take over their lands and establishing their own improved version of a Soth African republic that is welcoming to foreigners and neighboring Africans, and Global investment.
