Why is South Africa tense with many African countries?

Because South Africa's xenophobia is too high, there are too many contradictions with foreign employees. Because local people think that foreigners have hired people to rob their jobs. So things like riots have seriously affected the diplomacy between the two countries.

South Africa has long been a country led by a white government, and the national elite is all white. It was not until 1994 that Mandela was elected as the first black president in South Africa's history that the apartheid policy that ruled South Africa for nearly 50 years was officially abolished, and blacks declared freedom, but only in law.

Decades later, the white minority in South Africa still owns most of the land. At present, 74% of the private land in South Africa is owned by whites, only 4% by blacks and the remaining 22% by other ethnic groups. South African whites have a population of 4.4 million, accounting for only 9% of South Africa's total population; Black South Africans account for 865,438+0% of the total population, and the rest are Asians and other colored people.

Such a highly unbalanced land situation has aroused strong dissatisfaction among blacks. In particular, after years of land reform, South Africa still cannot change the situation that most of the land is owned by whites. Many political parties took the opportunity to encourage the government to legislate to expropriate land and protect the rights of blacks.

Even if the land is really in the hands of black people, with the development of urbanization in South Africa, people with high comprehensive ability are needed, and the number of people originally engaged in agriculture is greatly reduced. Except those who used to work on farms, ordinary people not only lack production knowledge, but also have no management experience, and it is not easy to get start-up funds from bank loans to buy cattle and sheep, which will lead to land waste. This will still cause their poverty, and they will still be discriminated against and excluded.
