Trevor Noah’s South Africa Tourism Campaign Sparks Xenophobia Backlash
Social media users are criticising Trevor Noah’s South Africa tourism promotion amid renewed concerns about xenophobic violence against foreign Africans in the country. The backlash recalls the 2008 and 2009 attacks, when South African tourism campaigns were also aimed at Nigerian visitors. Some commenters argue that promoting tourism without addressing migrants’ safety presents an overly polished image of the country. Critics have also questioned Noah’s silence on xenophobia, while South African singer Tyla is facing calls from some Nigerians to boycott her planned Lagos concert.
