According to Kwaku Manu, conflicts between African nationals living in South Africa should be addressed through dialogue and cooperation rather than division. He emphasized the importance of focusing on long-term solutions that promote peaceful coexistence.
“We should come together as Africans,” he said, urging citizens to reflect on broader economic and social challenges rather than directing frustration at fellow Africans.
He also pointed to concerns about economic inequality and ownership structures within the country, suggesting that deeper systemic issues may be contributing to tensions.
