Is South Africa doing enough to fight xenophobia?
Human Rights Watch accuses police and vigilante groups of routinely targeting migrants.
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”?
