This conference notes the growing xenophobic attack on African migrants in South Africa and wish to condemn the actions of a few minority ignorant groups who has forgotten history so quickly.
Attack on persons and businesses on African migrants have increased at an alarming rate In recent months. Migrants have been murdered, their businesses burnt which have led to many families leaving South Africa with little possession as their country embassies� arranged emergency evacuation for their citizens. Some South African natives married to migrants have had their families separated and left traumatised.
This conference condemns in absolute terms this barbaric action of the minority carrying out Black on Black hatred.
Conference calls on the National Black Members Committee to:
1)Work with the National Executive Committee (NEC) to support Trade Union organisations in South Africa to call for a stop to the actions of the few disruptive groups.
2)Call on the NEC to liaise with the South Africa Embassy to work out a lasting solution to the problem with other African Embassies.
3)Work with the NEC to ensure that the human rights of all migrants in South Africa is preserved and to send message of solidarity to affected countries through established trade unions in those countries.
