Two weeks after South Africans in Keimoes and Upington areas of Northern Cape vowed to eject Nigerians and other foreigners from their communities, locals in Diepsloot area of Johannesburg have begun to attack foreign nationals in the area.
The attack on foreign nationals began on Wednesday evening but was curtailed by the police.
However, there was a renewed attack on properties and protest action on Thursday with locals demanding that all foreigners leave the community.
President, Nigerian Union South Africa, Adetola Olubajo, confirmed the attack in a statement sent to SaharaReporters.
He added that locals were not ready to back down on attacks on foreigners.
He said, “Angry residents started burning tires and chanting that foreigners must leave the area.
“Police intervention brought calm but the violence erupted again this morning.
“The community members want undocumented foreigners to leave the area. They accused foreign nationals of criminal activities and killing of a senior police officer.
“Though there is heavy police presence in the area, the local residents are not backing down in there demand.”
He added that the area was still tensed and not safe for foreign nationals, advising Nigerians to stay away from the area until it was safe.from sahara reporters
The south africans have constituted a nuisance to themselves. The same people that other nations especially Nigerian defended during apartheid?
ReplyDeleteNigerians should come home. YOu have to be alive first to pursue money and the gains of this short-lived life.
Yeah. They don't want ya'll there. What are you guys waiting for? You see the knife coming and don't want to avoid it.
DeleteForeigners should leave their country for them na
ReplyDeleteIf someone from South Africa will come for your hand in marriage, won't you give both your hands and legs?

I too really don’t understand why foreigners cannot leave their country for them, is it by force to stay where you’re not wanted?

These useless people have started. I wonder what buhari is doing to stop these idiots.
ReplyDeleteWe should tell those dstv people to leave our country too.
Giving old films every now and then
Nigerians work in DSTV. Nigerians are also shareholders in DSTV and other companies like MTN and Stanbic IBTC. It's ignorant statements like yours that made lazy ignorant youths loot shops in "Shoprite" which were actually owned by Nigerians
Delete@anonymous 17:12. Idiotic toothless thinking. Glo and 9mobile are south African too? We don't need their companies here simple. We can also nationalize mtn and host of others.
DeleteWe don’t need to nationalize anything. Govt must go into those companies and ask the South African expatriates to leave Nigeria. They should also go back home.
DeleteVery shallow minded humans, it’s like they just want to be in the news when they think they are forgotten mtsheeew.

DeleteWhen l remember all the money Nigeria spent on SA, l weep. When l remember all the money Nigeria spent on Liberia aka ECOMOG, l weep. All the Nigerian soldiers that became amputees. I remember all the music in the 70’s, all aimed at the problems in SA. All the Fire in Soweto, etc
ReplyDelete“Fire in Soweto, a burning all my people“
DeleteGuess, they are not our people.
Nigerians need to leave that place.
Nor be by force.
I blame our government.
If only light was constant sef.
This is getting out of hand, I wonder why South Africans are not accommodating,I'm just so angry right now.
ReplyDeleteI will say it again
DeleteThe bitterness is from frustrated people
When Nigerians leave they will turn on themselves
Transferred aggression from resentment, self loathing, unemployment, drugs , drink and violence
Jet li you have said it all. Black southeis are the most vile people in Africa. Full of hatred for other black skinned. They are messed up
DeleteWhat are Nigerians still doing in SA? Leave their country for them. Come back and build your own. Yes, i know our country is bad, crime rate is high, etc. But that doesn't mean we can't still contribute to its growth
ReplyDeleteAny Nigerian that is killed in SA as from this year, no love him life. LEAVE there and come back home or go elsewhere
