The International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) Minister says the African Diaspora Community– which works closely within communities — may have suggestions that can help end tensions between South Africans and foreign nationals.

Speaking at a meeting with the African Diaspora on Friday, Naledi Pandor called on the African Diaspora to collaborate with South Africa following recent attacks on foreign nationals.

“I am told some of the organisations present here have worked on complex and challenging issues, and I hope to draw on your experience to develop effective responses.  I wish us to collaborate to avoid more conflict and look forward to hearing your thoughts on what can be done,” she said.
