South African rapper Saudi has spoken out against xenophobia in a powerful message to his fellow South Africans.
The rapper took to social media to express his views on the importance of unity and solidarity across the African continent.
In his post, Saudi passionately declared, “Xenophobia Must Fall. Let’s Love, Protect and Respect our Mzansi. But Let’s Not be Africans ONLY when we’re in exile. Africa We are One.”
His words come as a strong call for an end to xenophobic attitudes and actions, urging South Africans to embrace their African brothers and sisters, regardless of nationality.
