Popular South African actor and comedian, Trevor Noah speaks on South African's  Xenophobic attack.

Over the past few days, the South Africans have been displaying a misled anger on other Africans thereby destroying businesses owned by Africans and resorting to killing and burning of humans (Africans) on the streets of South Africa.

Trevor Noah, however, reacted and condemned the xenophobic act and considered it as some form of misplaced priorities. He shared his thoughts in a long post on social media stating that there are about 2.3 million immigrants living in South Africa that includes other Africans, Bangladeshi, Indians, Chinese, Europeans and middle easterners who are not born in SA but only 1.6 million are Africans. He also stressed that the 1.6 million mostly run small shops, vending, service industries and they may only lay claim to less than 0.00001% of SA's wealth compared to the whites in South Africa that make up about 8.7% population and controls 85% of SA's wealth.

Trevor also mentioned the urge for xenophobic attacks was borne out of the fear of the unknown, years of oppression as well as inferiority complex due to apartheid.
