We have all be shocked by the recent spate of attacks on foreigners in South Africa but many of us go unaffected and are living our usual lives blissfully unaware of the torment others are currently suffering. Whether you agree to call it Xenophobia or not is not what we are debating.

The Unitedforafrica.co.za project aims at tracking the events, pooling resources and influencing positive action to solve the current problem, as well as to start a dialogue going forward. Started as an initiative by Quirk eMarketing we hope this project will result in some meaningful dialogue not just to solve the immediate crisis but to investigate its root causes and start laying the ground to some longer term solutions.

Starting as sporadic and isolated incidents the activity have growing into a full blown assault on our fellow Africans. This portal looks to empower each one of us to make a difference, both in terms of keeping each other informed and providing assistance to those who are being persecuted. If you see or hear anything please report it. Through our collective efforts we can force local and international governments to be frank, honest and responsive to this situation.

Get involved by visiting their site, reporting any incidents and getting involved in the many activities which have come about since the violence began.
