While xenophobic rhetoric has become increasingly normalised in the country\u2019s political discourse, the latest violence has had domestic and international implications. Importantly, this violence must be seen in context of the continuation of South Africa\u2019s colonial and apartheid era structures, which\u00a0still play a crucial role in most South Africans\u2019 everyday lives. Given that land reform is an unfinished and hotly discussed political project, we argue that intense economic and spatial inequality as remnants of the past are important contributors to recent violence, specifically against foreigners in South Africa.\u00a0"}
