Du må ikke veksle kolonisering med makt og immigrasjon.
Kolonistene er aldri helt velkommen men det er kjent at trans-afrikansk immigrasjon er kilde til mange voldelige konflikter.

Homes burned, shops looted in anti-migrant attacks
Renewed anti-foreigner violence has raised fresh fears and uncertainty among members of migrant communities in S Africa.
Violence against foreigners has flared up again in parts of
South Africa.
Earlier this month, immigrants' homes and businesses were looted and torched in suburbs of Johannesburg and Pretoria, the capital city, raising concerns about anti-foreigner sentiment in the country.
The latest attacks follow previous bouts of
xenophobic violence in 2008 and 2015 which resulted in the deaths of foreign nationals and the displacement of hundreds of
migrants who were too afraid to continue living in the new communities they now called home.
With the end of apartheid and the dawn of democracy in 1994, South Africa opened itself up to the world.
A steady stream of migrants from around
Africa made their way south in search of safety and better opportunities, in what was once the continent's fastest-growing and largest economy.
But nowadays, with the economy static and youth
unemployment rising, some locals are accusing foreigners of stealing jobs and of being involved in criminal activities, such as drug peddling and prostitution."
