operation dudula will be in power. operation dudula talks about crime. they talk about poverty.one talk about the legacy of apartheid, when black south africans were shut out of the economy en masse. it's a legacy we're still living with, made worse by government corruption and looting on a grand scale. i went on this journey to learn more about the kind of people who would join a group like operation dudula. what are their motivations? why do they have such a hate for foreigners? it was that simple. and once i met members of dudula, i realised that a lot of them are just like the people from back home. people i know, people from my neighbourhood, and they struggle with the same things i grew up struggling with. but what's been disappointing is that these people have taken that pain and... ..created more pain. scapegoating foreigners is not going to fix the drug issue, it's not going to fix crime, it's not going to fix unemployment or corruption. inequality is not going to address those things, it's just going to create more and more conflict. and that's devastating. live from w
