dc.description.abstractThe focus of this study was on the effects of migration and the xenophobic attacks on the social relations of residents of Pietermaritzburg CBD area. The study also looks at the measures put in place by the Department of Home Affairs (Immigration Department) and South African Police Services (SAPS) in dealing with illegal immigration and xenophobic attacks. This study was qualitative in nature and employed the scapegoating, isolation and bio cultural theories as the theoretical framework. According to the findings of this study, foreign nationals come to South Africa with the aim of building better lives for themselves, in search for job opportunities and to study in higher institutions. The xenophobic attacks no doubt have had negative impact on the relationship between South Africans and foreign nationals, hence the constant fear of attacks exhibited by the foreign nationals, while the locals want the government to put strict measures in place to decrease illegal immigration.en_US
