N2 - Many Foreign nationals were victims of mob violence and those who owned properties had their property, including shops looted and burned down, while they and their respective family members were badly wounded, killed or chased away from their homes. In May 2008 more than 70 people died because of it, and the displacement of 35,000 people was witnessed. The ultimate aims of this research paper was to review the work done during and after xenophobic attacks in South Africa, to identify factors that contributed to the xenophobic attacks, to identifying how the government NGO donor organizations and international community dealt with the situation and what measures they put in place to prevent such brutal behavior and actions of xenophobic attacks from happening again and to Identify the logistics work done to alleviate the pain and suffering of the victims.
