In this powerful episode of MandM Beyond Words, we step into one of the most sensitive and misunderstood on the African continent xenophobia in South Africa. Not through headlines or rumours, but through the lived experience of Nigerian traders, Zimbabwean workers, Somali shop owners, Mozambican families, Malawian migrants, and Ghanian voices still navigating today's tensions. This is not a story of blame it is a story of pressure, perception, survival, and consequences. We explore how economic strain, inequality and long-standing social frustrations can turn neighbours into targets and how entire communities are shaped by fear, misunderstanding, and history repeating itself. With a calm, reflective, and deeply human tone, this episode asks difficult but necessary questions.

When does struggle turn into scapegoating?

Most importantly how do we choose a better way forward? A grounded, honest conversation for anyone who believes Africa's future must be built on understanding, not division.
