I’m supposed to travel to Zimbabwe this weekend, but I fear for My life since I’m South African. My country is doing so much harm to our brothers and sisters I have no choice but to wonder what lies in another African country as an AFRICAN!!!???

A few people responded to his tweet assuring him that Zimbabwe is a hospitable country and he had nothing to fear.

Zimbabwe is one of the safest destinations in Africa. Your life, your possessions are safe in Zimbabwe. However, what you can do is to use your voice to help discourage the xenophobic attacks in South Africa. We are one people.

South Africans have been attacking foreigners living in their country a move that started with some of them protesting against foreign truck drivers. So far 5 people have been killed in the xenophobic attacks
