Abstract

Psalm 133 celebrates brotherly unity as an ideal that commands divine blessing. Similarly, the African philosophical outlook of “ubuntu” upholds that ideal. With that common ideological perspective within the biblical and African traditional culture in mind, this article seeks to redress the xenophobic attitudes prevalent in South Africa.
