Five people have already died from the recent outbreaks of violence in South Africa targeting foreigners. South Africa's Minister of Social Development Lindiwe Zulu told the BBC the rioters fear losing their jobs to foreigners. Many Africans have responded through boycott, including Nigerian singers Burna Boy and Tiwa Sawage. Tiwa Savaged canceled an upcoming performance in South Africa in late September owing to the attacks on Nigerians and other foreigners. I refuse to watch the barbaric butchering of my people in SA. This is SICK. For this reason I will NOT be performing at the upcoming DSTV delicious Festival in Johannesburg on the 21st of September. My prayers are with all the victims and families affected by this. — Tiwa Savage (@TiwaSavage) September 4, 2019 Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy on the other hand vowed to never visit South Africa until their government "wakes up". Ok. I have been away from social media personally until today. Ordinarily
