One of the reasons that many South Africans carry xenophobic feelings can be rooted towards the apartheid that took place in their country. It seems that the curriculum in South Africa is designed to portray the country in a unique way that is based on isolating itself from other countries. Not wanting to integrate a decolonial African epistemological tradition would prevent others from learning about other African countries and the values that they hold. What I found interesting is that intellectuals and scholars can hold xenophobic and stereotypical views towards others without trying to explore the diversity of the continent as a whole.
