Xenophobic pogroms in South Africa – fight the right with class struggle!

Over the past three months, a wave of xenophobic demonstrations, attacks and killings against migrants has swept South Africa. Shops have been looted, foreigners chased out of their homes, while more than 160,000 people have been forced to flee the country in fear for their lives. The South African right wing is currently cheering on the violence and pushing for an escalation of the brazen campaign, which will undoubtedly result in more killings unless a fightback is organised.
