His statement was in connection with the current xenophobic attacks in South Africa that has sparked reprisal attacks in countries such as Nigeria and Zambia.
He also called on the leaders of the African Union (AU) to be reflective and look at the reason why the African Union was formed in the first place. This he said will foster unity and peace amongst the various African countries.
