ANC accused of plan to drive Zimbabweans out of De Doorns February 22 2010 , 9:48:00

Fresh allegations have surfaced that the African National Congress (ANC) is behind plans to oust Zimbabweans from De Doorns in the Boland. Farmworkers' union, Sikhula Sonke, says it has information that the ANC  are organising a march tomorrow.  About 2000 Zimbabweans were forced to flee the Stofland informal settlement late last year after  locals accused them of stealing their jobs. The Zimbabweans are being housed at a local sports ground.

The ANC in the Western Cape has rejected allegations that it's behind plans to oust Zimbabweans.

Meanwhile a strategy to encourage foreign nationals to share their skills with South Africans was devised at a meeting between the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the community of Cato Manor in Durban. The meeting was part of a nationwide initiative to eradicate xenophobia in South African communities. Cato Manor and the nearby Albert Park are home to a large number of foreign nationals and there have been  tensions between communities.

Cato Manor community leader, Liziwe Mkhulusi says: "Most of the foreigners that come into our country are very, very skilled compared to most of our locals. Our people tend to want to go and buy and sell vegetables, whereas most of the people that come from elsewhere tend to bring in things that are made with their own hands. So the dialogue is definitely key and necessary, because it will help individuals to open up."
