The focus of this paper, attempts to de-mystify of the concept of Xenophobia, considered the trigger for the recurrent spate of violent attacks by South African nationals on other Africans especially Nigerians domiciled in their country. The paper observed that, there had been a ‘bandwagon’ attitude in this conceptual usage which had obscured the actual actions as well as responsibility of various actors.  Scholars and public commentators, had been quick to situate such happenings in the study area under the above concept without a deep and critical reflection on the nature and dimension of the violent attacks by black South Africans as well as the environmental conditions in that country prelude to the manifestation of such trends. In other words, the symptoms of the problem are being taken to mean the root of this ailment. Adopting a Historio-Pyscho-analytic approach, findings of this piece shows that, the solutions to solve a phobic problem as it is called in South Africa, would rather aggravate it and as such, recommended home-grown solutions by South-Africans to tackle this challenge.
