    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I withdraw the statement that I have just read so I can read out the correct version. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1), I rise to make a statement on an issue of Regional concern; namely, xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals including Kenyans living and doing business in South Africa. Madam Temporary Speaker, many foreign nationals living in South Africa have borne the brunt of renewed xenophobic attacks. Many of them have been maimed and others lost their lives and properties in the recent xenophobic attacks. Madam Temporary Speaker, most businesses that were targeted by the xenophobic mobs were owned by migrants from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Zambia, Somalia and Kenya with nationals of many other countries such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique and many other Sub-Saharan countries eking a living in South Africa. Many of these nationals have now been forced to forgo their livelihoods and flee South Africa to escape the violence. Those who are unable to leave South Africa have run to seek refuge in community halls in Johannesburg and other affected towns."
