Slightly OT, but The article alludes to xenophobic violence in South Africa. South Africa already has a de facto open borders policy and its local black population has been squeezed out of many business opportunities by people from the rest of Africa, as well as Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and China, and there are spasmodic eruptions of anti-foreigner violence. The similarities with Brexit and Trump are striking, and show something more complex is going on, than simple bigotry.
