    South Africans are largely a nice and accommodating people; many foreigners have interpreted this as a weakness. When South Africans react and show their muscle, people cry xenophobia. Respect and humility will open many doors anywhere.

    Thank you for your good content. Much appreciated. Let me add three more issues that will get you in trouble in South Africa: 1) Don't come to South Africa to do crime. South Africans are fed-up with the high crime rates in this country and they get more angry and retaliate when foreigners come to SA for criminal activities. 2) Don't come to SA illegally. Make sure as a foreigner that you have the correct documentation and that you followed the correct procedures to obtain your documents. 3) South Africa is constitutional democracy with the most progressive constitution in the world. It's important to respect the laws of the country and abide by it and you will be loved in this country.

    I think you should also add if people have no skills or have low level skills please stay in your country coz our unemployment rate is high as it is already. So when people come here with no family support system to fall back on and they can't find jobs they resort to crime and I will tell you for free we are tired and have no more patience for immigrants who come to commit crime in our country coz we realised our children will have no home to enjoy at this rate.
    One thing we pride ourselves in as South Africans we will tell you the truth whether you like it or not so please don't be afraid to tell people that when they come here they must stop "shining their eyes" and abide by the laws.
    People generally mind their business in this country maybe because you were a student so young people are still open to forming new relationships but also we are a very friendly nation. If we are standing next to each other in a queue we start talking to each other, maybe someone might end up asking you your name but only because they want to address you properly as the conversation progresses but it doesn't mean they want to know your business, it's trying to while away time, that's why you will find a long queue and people not complaining coz they talk to each other.

    Nice content. I think that’s why most foreigners find it hard to blend with SA. In SA, there are protocols for approval of everything, you can’t just take short cuts. I think that’s why many foreigners think we are xenophobic, it’s not xenophobic, it’s our immigration laws and legal system and requirements to keep track in an orderly manner. I can see in Nigeria or most African countries ppl are used to cutting corners.

    I strongly agree with you, If you come in South Africa and don't know what you want or you have lost your moral campus, this country will destroy you. It is beautiful and nice. I have seen many married foreign men who began chasing girls when they got here and abandoned their families. So always remember what you came to do in South Africa, If you came for business, you are welcome to run your business and you will flourish like other foreigners. If you become a problem, we will not welcome you. Do not let South Africa change your personality or lifestyle, the good thing about South Africa is that it is diverse, you will meet people who are like you and others who are the total opposite of you. Do not try to change people or teach them your morals.

    In South Africa if you embrace the locals, add value to their lives and never do any crime they will love you as their own. Any foreign people that consistently brake any of these principles will suffer in South Africa. We also observe the same principles when we relocate and find ourselves amongst different tribes, if you don't act right you will suffer the wrath even if it's your country.
    In order to embrace the locals you can learn one of the African languages and learn their mannerisms.
    Adding value: Have a skill that we need, pay your taxes, keep the money in the country.
    If you run a store please employ South Africans if you employ only your countrymen you will have trouble. Export and not just Import as imports reduce the GDP of the country.
    And never ever look down on the locals, they detest that to the fullest. This is where some of the African brothers get it wrong. If you hear a South African (white or black) saying South African are lazy please don't repeat that, because it will sound different as a non South African. I myself have heard a couple of our African foreign brothers in the country make this mistake and I can assure you it felt different. (This stresses your point about being non judgmental)
    Never do any crime : Unfortunately if your countrymen are always coming up in the news as committing crimes, this will also be associated with you until you prove yourself different as an individual.
    However what causes resentment among some of the locals in the country is the influx of poor undocumented foreigners as they compete for employment opportunities with poor South Africans. Since they are desperate when they enter the country and will work for any salary, they get manipulated by unscrupulous employers as they know that the undocumented will never report them to the authorities.
    This results in massive employment of the undocumented and very little opportunities for poor South Africans who happen to be black as well. I have seen complete areas employ only foreigners especially in Joburg. This creates massive resentment among poor South African as the poor foreigners become the face of the missed opportunities.
    Therefore, this Xenophobic problem is due to failure or non existence of government policies to ensure that this doesn't happen. Otherwise South Africans are completely welcoming of any foreign people that respects us whether black or white, African or not.

    Thank you for the good content, however I implore you to look up the meaning of the word "xenophobia" and see if it fits to your description of South Africans. I fail to understand why so many people want to settle in a country they describe as xenophobic. In my opinion, what you and others refer to as xenophobia is actually South africans' way of resisting xenophobic tendencies when some of our foreign brothers and sisters abuse our hospitality. What is xenophobic about a people who are resisting distribution of narcotics in their country or people who are fedup with people coming into their country illegally? These are just a few examples of what our people fight against.
    You will also notice that us South Africans don't emigrate to look for greener pastures when we are not happy with any situation, we believe in rolling up our sleeves to face the problem head on to effect the outcomes we want to see. There are cases where South Africans take the law into their own hands when they feel abused by those exploiting loopholes in our system regardless of their nationality and that cannot be called xenophobia. Whenever someone calls us xenophobic, we see it as indicative of that person insulting us and having overstayed their welcome.
