I heard its because Nigerians are into several nefarious activities over there like drugs, prostitution and scamming.

I have heard about it too. I have a South African friend who thinks all Igbos are drug dealers and manufacturers of fake drugs. Then, I had a girlfriend who was half British half South African. The day I traced my ancestry to Nigeria and told her was the day she broke up with me. She thinks all Nigerians are into one bad thing or the other.

But then, I think on no condition should South Africans be given the liberty to take the law into their hands. The government should either find a way of protecting Nigerians or putting in place strict measures when issuing visas to Nigerians.

Port Harcourt,
Feb. 18, 2017 (NAN)

The Nigerian Community in South Africa have confirmed attacks and looting of Nigerian-owned businesses in Pretoria West on Saturday.
Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, President, Nigeria Union, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on telephone from Pretoria, South Africa, that the attacks began at 4.00am.
He said that the union had reported the incident to the Nigeria mission and South African police.
“ As we speak, five buildings with Nigerian businesses, including a church have been looted and burned by South Africans.
“ One of the buildings is a mechanic garage with 28 cars under repairs, with other vital documents, were burned during the attack.
“ Also, the pastor of the church was wounded and is in the hospital receiving treatment,” he said.
Anyene said the union had informed Nigerians in South Africa to be vigilant in the face of renewed xenophobic attacks.
According to him, the union received information that there will be xenophobic attacks against foreigners on Feb. 22 and Feb. 23.
“ We began taking precautionary measures when the incident took place today.
“ The attack in Pretoria West is purely xenophobic and criminal attack because they loot the shops and homes before burning them,” he said.
Anyene called on the Federal Government to persuade its South African counterpart to protect Nigerians in their country.
“ These attacks should not be allowed to continue because it is a big setback,” he said.

The Igbos into drug is like 4 out of 10 and the decline has continued as more Igbos engage in markets etc
I still have yoruba friends and Igbo friends in SA and i know the ones who always f..k underage and that is the yoruba they like to hide while my igbo brothers love anything that gives them money, if igbo guy sees yourba guy f..king small girl The igbo will rather turn it to business if He is one of the few igbos who run clubs tavern business.

I'm simply too scared to come back. I enjoy my safety here abroad. I'll see stories of armed robbers robbing in broad day light or police killing citizens over 20 naira, or numerous kidnappings and cultism. It's so scary man I can't risk my life in a country where life isn't valued. I'd be dead in 2 days for sure.

The other day in gauteng South Africa I went to a saloon run by Cameroonians, with my South African friends. These South Africans were telling me the barbers were Nigerians, and I didn't bother to tell them otherwise because when xenophobic attacks set in that shop will be a target.
What am saying is that every South Africans call every black foreigner Nigerian.
Am not saying Nigerians are not affected but our people dey hustle legit here

The reason Igbos are always attacked is because they flaunt wealth a lot even when they actually have little. Most Igbos lead a quiet lifestyle but the minority noisy criminal ones betray us and the hardworking majority end up being attacked.

That said it is about time Nigeria strike back. South Africa is too small to mess up with our citizens.

Hypocrisy. U can warn the igbos to stop selling drugs but u can't warn your yoruba brothers to stop scamming people, u see how bright u are. Atleast m sure dey don't force people to buy d drugs unlike dose scamming people of their hard earned money pretentiously. U can make ur point without showing dat u r a bigot okay coz I know yorubas in SA also involve in dat line of business afterall it isn't monopolistic

With rubbish u just typed, I have discovered that u spent just 2 weeks here and u returned to Nigeria when ur passport expired, if not u won't be spewing jagons here, let me lecture u a bit, I have never met yoruba selling drugs to South African children except igbo, as for ur claim of yahoo yahoo, I concur with u,but only few young yorubas are into yahoo,but they did everything codedly unlike lousy igbos, who always rooming the street, making noise as if they are in onitsha market,adults yoruba people have investment here, most of them are millionaire because they have been here before South African economy stumble, and some yorubas are doing security jobs here which ur brothers can't do because they want fast money, some yorubas are doing a lots of businesses like helping people to transfer money back home while some are pastors, as u know that yorubas are few here unlike ur brothers, every igbo engaged in selling drugs and using those children for prostitution, not that they tell me, I have witnessed all this myself and everyone knows that drugs business are growing and getting worst among ur brothers,the evidence is Malaysia, India etc, they were very lucky that south African law will just jail them for some months after they have bribe the police, there is 5 guys (2 graduates among them ) that just came from Nigeria,all of them started helping their brothers to sell it, now they are in Street by themselves,,, so stop saying what u don't know and always warn ur brothers...
