South Africa: How Xenophobia Robbed One Young Girl of Her Sense of Belonging

[HRW] There is one thing 10-year-old Keshia (not her real name) wishes for with all her might: to leave South Africa for good. South Africa might be the place of her birth and the only country where she has ever lived, but she cannot call it home. When, she keeps asking, will her family finally return to the country her parents left so many years ago? A country she has never been to and knows little about but where, she is sure, they would feel more welcomed and safer than in South Africa.
