- Description
- Since the advent of democracy in 1994 race relations in South Africa have not improved substantially. The arrival of transmigrants from other African countries has emphasized a wounded South African psyche, as various xenophobic attitudes and attacks attest. However, a lesser known reality is the expression of xenophilia by South African women. In this article I argue that an intimate relationship between a South African coloured woman and a Congolese black man scripts a different potentiality for multiracial relations in the private and public spaces of urban Cape Town, South Africa.
