“…This is why the word xenophobia is traditionally used to describe instances of hatred towards foreigners. Mlambo (2019) is bold enough to say: 'it (xenophobia) is the hatred and violence towards foreigners' (Mlambo, 2019, p. 55). Consistent with this description, Solomon and Kosaka (2013), argued that such hatred is then embodied in discriminatory attitudes, often expressed in violence and abuse of all kinds (Solomon & Kosaka, 2013, p. 5).…”

“…In 2015, the second wave of xenophobic violence resurfaced in KwaZulu Natal (KZN) and once again spread to other provinces in the country. According to both Mlambo (2019) and Tella (2016), this re-emergence was fuelled by the late Zulu king Goodwill Zwelithini's remark made on 30 March 2015 when he suggested that foreigners should return to their homelands because they were unfairly depleting the scarce resources meant for native South Africans (Mlambo, 2019, p. 59;Tella, 2016, p. 142). This is also supported by Bekker (2015), who pointed out that when King Zwelithini addressed the Pongolo community at a moral renewal event, he said foreigners had to 'take their bags and go' and further accused the South African government of failing to protect its own citizens from the 'influx of foreign nationals' (Simon, 2015, p. 234).…”

Generally, the problem of xenophobia remains a complex and challenging topic for most countries of the world, for Africans and South Africans in particular. Constructed upon existing literature, this paper contributes to the discourse on anti-immigrant or xenophobic feelings in South Africa. This paper uses Missio Politica as a missiological framework combined with political theology to examine xenophobia. Although alluring further extensive research, it represents the neglected step in organising the vast body of missiological perspectives on the subject of xenophobia regarding the objective of the Missio Dei. It is entirely devoted to seeking answers to the question of xenophobia by appealing to the correct understanding of Missio Dei’s goal as demonstrated in the account of Noah's Ark in Genesis 6-9. Consequently, it concludes that to circumvent xenophobic incidents, African countries must first prioritise salvation for their local citizens, just as Noah did with his own family, before attempting to invite the entire continent into the tiny ark of salvation. Correspondingly, it concludes that South African policy-makers should familiarise themselves with important religious ideologies of their constituencies to shape public policies that are compatible with societal religious aspirations. Xenophobia has become an issue of great concern, particularly in South Africa. In the discipline of missiology, the current literature does not provide a clear methodology for solving xenophobia. This study represents the first missio politica analysis of the impact of xenophobia on the goal of Missio Dei.

“…In the emergence of conflict, resources meant to bolster service delivery and infrastructural development are diverted to defence activates. In better-developed countries such as South Africa houses many refugees, this can also lead to violence such as xenophobia where the local populace will be of the notion that refugees are here to take their jobs (see Mlambo, 2019). Inspired by the impaired economic situation and lower investments in state fiscal capacity, one may expect a state in conflict and turmoil not to be able to respect its commitments towards the countries in its RECs.…”

This article aims to ponder the effects of political instability and, rebel insurgency, in particular, have on Africa’s regional integration frameworks by drawing insights from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The upsurge of militias has been a norm in some African countries such as the Central African Republic, Somalia and Sudan. This article utilized a qualitative method. When one adopts this type of method, s/he anticipates gathering a robust viewpoint pertaining to human behaviour and the rationale behind it. Data retrieved was drawn from secondary sources such as books, chapters in books, journal articles, credible online sources and policy briefs that monitor African conflict (especially the DRC). Similarly, the political instability that continues to take centre stage in the DRC because of many and diverse rebel groups fighting for the country’s prestigious resources has produced a web of both internal and external instability, further crippling the country’s economy, neighbouring countries and Africa’s regional integration blueprints.

“…Göçmen, sığınmacı, mülteci ya da farklı etnik, kültürel ve dini özelliklere sahip bireylere yönelik her geçen gün giderek artan yabancı düşmanlığı sadece Avrupa kıtası ile sınırlı değildir. Yukarıda da değinildiği üzere ABD başta olmak üzere Çin (Hai, 2005), Yeni Zelanda 2 , Orta Afrika Cumhuriyeti 3 ve Güney Afrika Cumhuriyeti (Nnaemeka vd., 2019;Mlambo, 2019) gibi ülkelerde yaşanan gelişmeler küresel düzeyde yabancı düşmanlığı ile ilgili endişeleri arttırmaktadır. Örneğin Güney Afrika Cumhuriyeti'nde 2019 yılı içerisinde kökeni 1990'lı yıllara kadar dayanan yabancı düşmanlığına bağlı olarak yaşanan olaylar sadece ülke içindeki yabancıları tedirgin etmekle kalmamış, uluslararası boyutta da endişelere neden olmuştur (Dewa, 2019…”

Bu araştırmanın amacı; üniversite öğrencilerinin yabancı düşmanlığı düzeylerinin açıklanmasında çeşitli demografik değişkenlerin rolünün incelenmesidir. Araştırma nicel araştırma yaklaşımına dayalı ilişkisel tarama modeli çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir devlet üniversitesinin önlisans, lisans ve lisansüstü programlarında öğrenim gören ve seçkisiz olarak belirlenen 653 gönüllü öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Yabancı Düşmanlığı (Zenofobi) Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde t testi ve ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda; üniversite öğrencilerinin yabancı düşmanlığı düzeyi ortalaması 3,92±1,22 bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin yabancı düşmanlığı tutumuyla cinsiyet, öğrenim görülen fakülte, ailenin yaşadığı coğrafi bölge ve bölümünde ya da sınıfında yabancı öğrenci bulunma durumu arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kadın öğrencilerin, ilahiyat fakültesinde öğrenim görenlerin, ailesi Karadeniz bölgesinde yaşayanların ve yabancı uyruklu öğrenciyle teması olanların yabancı düşmanlığı düzeylerinin anlamlı ölçüde düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin yabancı düşmanlığına yönelik tutumlarına etki eden ve katılımcılar arasında anlamlı farkların oluşmasına neden olan faktörler ulusal ve uluslararası düzeyde gerçekleştirilen çalışmalarla ilişkilendirilerek tartışılmıştır. Sonuç bölümünde genel bir değerlendirme yapılarak, üniversite öğrencilerinin yabancılara yönelik tutumlarını olumlu yönde geliştirebilecek veya yabancı düşmanlığı düzeyini düşük seviyede tutabilecek önerilere yer verilmiştir.
