"#Xenophobia Ndebele: 2 SA musicians will perform in Zim this weekend, young people are sending messages to boycott the shows to send a message

"Ndebele: They feel prominent figures like politicians and celebrities are quiet about #Xenophobia and not doing enough to stop it.

"#Xenophobia Ndebele: People also feel the SA government is not doing enough to stop these attacks.

"#Xenophobia Ndebele: Most South African musicians come to Zimbabwe because there is a market; people here subscribe to South African music

" #Xenophobia Ndebele: People here feel it wouldn't make sense to go to a show by a SAn and enjoy it while Africans are being killed in SA

"People want to send a strong message to South Africa to stop #Xenophobia zenzele Ndebele @zenzele  ·  44m 44 minutes ago,"

Ndebele himself posted saying  "Here is one of the messages circulating on social media: With all these killings in Durban we Zimbabweans will be fools to attend ... .

"....  attend any show from a south african artist whilst their kinsmen are burning our brothers.#XenophobicSA"
