Mozambique’s Frelimo party has responded to recent xenophobic incidents in South Africa, stating they do not represent the official position of the South African government or its people. The party advocates for increased dialogue between Mozambique and South Africa to de-escalate tensions and prevent further deterioration of relations. Frelimo acknowledges the South African government and the ANC have consistently condemned xenophobia. They attribute the violence to specific groups acting against human rights and South African law. The party emphasizes the importance of closely monitoring the situation to protect the historically friendly ties between the two nations. Frelimo also highlighted ongoing collaboration between the countries regarding illegal immigration, framing it as a global issue requiring peaceful and dignified solutions, rather than violence.
