Is South Africa doing enough to fight xenophobia?

Is South Africa doing enough to fight xenophobia?

Migrants in South Africa are facing increasing attacks, and police are often indifferent to the issue.

That is the conclusion of a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report published a year after the launch of a national plan to tackle xenophobia.

HRW found many South Asians and African migrants living in fear.

Mobs have destroyed foreign-owned businesses and homes.

However, few of the perpetrators have been brought to justice.

So what is needed to ensure safety and equality for all in the "Rainbow Nation"? 

Presenter: Imran Khan 

Guests:

Dewa Mavhinga - Southern Africa director, Human Rights Watch

Fasiha Hassan - Gauteng Provincial Legislature member and youth leader

Ralph Mathekga - political analyst
