The South African government are now begging Zimbabweans to forgive them over the recent xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals in their country, Igbere TV reports.

This comes barely 24 hours after the country’s President, Cyril Ramaphosa, was booed by a crowd of Zimbabwe mourners at the funeral service of Robert Mugabe over the attacks.

“I stand before you as a fellow African to express my regret and apologise for what has happened in our country,” Ramaphosa had said while apologizing for the development in his condolence speech at the Zimbabwe National Sports Stadium.

In a show of remorse for the attacks in their country and resultant reprisals, South Africans have staged a peace walk and asked for forgiveness from other African nations.

Photos and footage in circulation on social media, obtained by Igbere TV, show thousands of South Africans marching in parts of the country to call for an end to attacks on foreign nationals.

The march is coming after hundreds of foreign nationals – including Nigerians and Zimbabweans – were forced to leave the country over the recent xenophobic attacks.

Meanwhile, following the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Zimbabweans during Mugabe’s funeral on Satruday, Ramaphosa has now taken steps to address the negative image the citizens of other countries currently have about South Africa.

A statement published on the official website of South Africa’s presidency on Sunday said Ramaphosa has appointed a special envoy to heads of African governments to convey his regret concerning the widely condemned attacks.

The statement obtained by Igbere TV, read;

“A team of Special Envoys appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa have begun their assignment yesterday, 14 September 2019, and departed South Africa to deliver messages of solidarity to several Heads of State and Government across Africa,” the statement said.

“The team, comprising of Mr Jeff Radebe, Ambassador Kingsley Mmabolo and Dr. Khulu Mbatha, will visit Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia.

“The Special Envoys will deliver a message from President Ramaphosa regarding the incidents of violence that recently erupted in some parts South Africa, which have manifested in attacks on foreign nationals and destruction of property.

“The Special Envoys are tasked with reassuring fellow African countries that South Africa is committed to the ideals of pan-African unity and solidarity. The Special Envoys will also reaffirm South Africa’s commitment to the rule of law.

“The Special Envoys will brief governments in the identified African countries about the steps that the South African government is taking to bring a stop to the attacks and to hold the perpetrators to account.”

Seun

Campaign after election. You don’t know the extent of the damages the xenophobic attacks perpetrated by your people have gone. Sending Envoys won’t solve anything. You guys are now on your own. I just wish our government could do what’s necessary , stop been greedy and make this country work. Why would people need to go to South Africa �� for greener pastures? It’s so sad

Medicine after death.

Wadume!

Mr. Ramaphosa,

"Sorry" will do nothing in this case.
Compensate the victims in Southy, then call your lazy Youths to order.

I am just tired.

Medicine after death.

Africans unite against xenophobic. una never see anything yet.


I TOLD YOU NOT TO WORRY THAT I WILL DEAL WITH THEM.

the people of south Africa are like the stiff necked people of Israel who were held captive and under bondage by Pharaoh, what then is the difference between them and the whites that did apartheid for them in the first place, I hope Mandela won't be happy about this in his grave!!!!

Shame on them

What do they want us to do?
They sat in their offices and watched their citizens kill foreigners, loot their shops, burnt their properties....
The dead are dead.
Will you hold memorial for them and national mourning?
Will you pay compensation for the loses?
What about the trauma?
Make we de watch

SA will go down for those attacks.
Many countries will cut ties with them soon, even non African countries.

Way to go



But this won't still stop the illiterate folks from carrying out another attack when they feel like

This is just the beginning,no amount of apologies can bring back the lives of the innocent souls that were lost

Medicine after death for Mr Zulu Ramaphosa

Have you begged the Ghanaians also?

Obasanjo is the greatest African that has ever lived. Mandela Nyerere and Mugabe acknowledged this. God bless Nkruma,, Mandela, Nyerere, Mugabe and Obasanjo for Africa.

Useless man. He kept quiet throughout the violence.
He watched everything go down for a full week, now he's sending yeye envoy to apologize.
Apology without compensation for victims is RUBBISH

They'll apologize this year but it'll happen again next year like an annual evil festival.

He sent special envoys? Lol
