Abstract:
The perennial challenge of youth restiveness in South African targeted against African foreigners had over the years elicited regional fear and anxiety. Cursory observation and studies illuminate systemic failure that exacerbates suspicion and hatred between the citizens and foreigners. In this regard, this paper adopt Marxian dialectical materialism model and secondary data to establish that xenophobic attacks against Non-South Africans emanates from the quest for material survival. The paper also revealed that the unabated spread of this absurdity is a function of structural inadequacies bedeviling the South African society. The paper therefore opines that South African state institutions should be strengthened, socio-economic challenges mitigated, migrant laws reviewed, and enlightenment and advocacy intensified as plausible measures to stem the tide of xenophobic restiveness in South Africa.
