Comments on prose
- "Matsinhe argued..." – Please define/introduce Matsinhe. I suggest "Sociologist David Matsinge argued..."
=Reference spotchecks
- " Zambia (where many South African exiles lived before 1994)" is not supported by ref 2
- Phrasing of "(in a non-derogatory sense) to refer to all Shonas from Zimbabwe (then known as Rhodesia)" is directly from Ref 2. Suggest paraphrasing
Refs 10 and 11 verify statement
- "The term has become so pervasive that it has been included in dictionaries as “an offensive and derogatory slur used in South Africa to describe foreigners from other African countries.”[19]" – This is only supported by reference one dictionary (which has now closed)
- Are refs 28 and 29 (Khanya/Somali Christians) reliable? They look like self-published sources
- " In 2004, Boom Shaka released the kwaito classic "Makwerekwere"[37] which discouraged xenophobia.[38]" – Not supported by references
