Nigerian Consulate Warns Citizens In South Africa Ahead Of May 4 Anti‑Foreigner Protests

The Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg has warned Nigerians in South Africa about nationwide anti‑foreigner protests planned for May 4, 2026, after anti‑immigrant groups announced a shutdown across all nine provinces, claiming foreigners are “benefiting more than citizens” and demanding that all foreigners leave urgently. 


The advisory, signed by Consul General Ambassador Ninikanwa Okey‑Uche, highlights Johannesburg as a major hotspot, with protesters expected at Mary Fitzgerald Square from 10 a.m. before submitting a memorandum at noon, and similar disruptions expected in Pretoria, Cape Town, and Durban. 

Nigerians are urged to avoid protest routes, stay alert, and consider closing their businesses temporarily, as foreign‑owned shops may be targeted. 

This comes amid rising xenophobic tension, with about 130 Nigerians already registered for voluntary repatriation flights, while South African authorities have been notified to deploy security measures.

  1. I wonder what Nigerians are still doing in that country after all the violence against immigrants in the previous years.
    Leave their country, stop contributing to their economy. Let them do the jobs if they can.
    From what I heard , the black South Africans are very lazy, greedy and wicked. They don't like to work.
    Pack your bags and leave their country!

  2. These south Africans forget so easily.
    How Nigeria especially and other African countries helped and supported them unconditionally pre and post their Apartheid era,very ungrateful lots.
    I don't blame them at all,it's the economic situation I blame...
    This is a wake up call to whom it may concern to do better.
