The President of the Nigerian Union in South Africa, Mr
Ikechukwu Anyene, said on Friday that xenophobic
attacks on foreign nationals were on the increase.
Anyene told the News Agency of Nigeria on phone from
Pretoria, South Africa, that the mechanic workshop of a
Nigerian was completely destroyed early on Friday in
Johannesburg.
“In the early hours of today (Friday), the mechanic
workshop of a Nigerian, with 10 cars and all the tools
inside, was destroyed by some South Africans.
“The build up to the attack started last night when the
South Africans started gathering in the neighbourhood
of the Nigerian.
“The Nigerians living there did not sleep and early
today, the South Africans struck,’’ he said.
Anyene said when the South African police intervened,
the attackers dared them and opened fire.
He said though the police chased them away, the
attackers re-grouped and still carried out the act.
“The attacks are spreading and Nigerians do not sleep
again. They keep vigil to ensure that they are not taken
unawares.
“There is tension everywhere. Nigerians have closed
their shops for fear of being attacked,”he said.
Anyene urged the Federal Government to engage the
South African authorities in dialogue with a view to
halting the attacks immediately.
“South Africa has lots of businesses in Nigeria and they
are doing well. Also, South Africans live in Nigeria and
it is on record that Nigerians have never carried out
xenophobic attacks on fellow Africans,” he said.
He said though the South African government had been
responding to the attacks, it was not enough because
more foreigners were being attacked every day.
Anyene added, “Though no Nigerian has been killed, it
may get to that because we have had close shaves with
death.
“The real truth is that Nigerians have lost so much in
their businesses to the attacks. The time has come for
the Nigerian government to make a categorical
statement on these attacks.
“We are not happy with what is happening and
something urgent must be done to stop these attacks.”
