ABSTRACT In 2008, more than 60 foreigners were killed during xenophobic attacks in South Africa. As if that was not enough, the same act was repeated in 2015 when seven people were killed (four foreigners from Africa and three South African nationals). These seemingly politically, socially and economically inspired attacks continue to generate arguments among students of development studies, Third World scholars and by extension, integrationists on the continent. As reasoned by some students of xenophobia, such attacks are couched from a need to maintain the existing status quo, fear of the unknown and an urge to preserve a certain culture and identity. Attempts to achieve these multiple objectives ignore the concepts of globalisation and regionalism as forcefully advanced in the 21st century. Many opine that every state needs immigrants for development, but the incessant attacks on non-nationals is a cause for concern. The intention of this article is to interrogate South Africa’s twin principles of Batho Pele (people first) and Ubuntu (humanity) in the context of these attacks. Integration strategy against hate speech and name callings in line with Chapter 2 Article 16(2) (b–c) of the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa will be advanced.

南非仇外/非裔攻击评估(2008-2015):Batho Pele 和 Ubuntu 原则何去何从?

摘要 2008 年,60 多名外国人在南非的仇外袭击中丧生。似乎这还不够,同样的行为在 2015 年重演,当时有 7 人被杀(四名来自非洲的外国人和三名南非国民)。这些看似受到政治、社会和经济启发的攻击继续在发展研究的学生、第三世界学者以及欧洲大陆的一体化主义者之间引发争论。正如一些仇外学生所推断的那样,这种攻击是出于维持现有现状的需要、对未知的恐惧以及保护某种文化和身份的冲动。实现这些多重目标的尝试忽视了 21 世纪大力发展的全球化和区域主义的概念。许多人认为,每个州都需要移民来促进发展,但对非国民的不断袭击令人担忧。本文的目的是在这些攻击的背景下询问南非的 Batho Pele(以人为本)和 Ubuntu(人性)的双重原则。将推进符合南非共和国 1996 年宪法第 2 章第 16(2)(b-c) 条的针对仇恨言论和辱骂的整合战略。
