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
they'll be lucky if those envoys are not stoned and booed out of the mentioned countries.

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.”

Medicine after death. I currently leave in South Africa, Not all South African are xenophobic but a large proportion of them are while some fair percentage are in support while a few are totally against this. In the Bible God delayed the destruction of Sodom and Gommora because of lot and house hold. I think all Africans must forgive them on account of these few, but they (South Africans) must come out resolutely in a statement that such dastardly act must never happen to Africans in African soil ever again. All damages and compensations must be fully paid by South African government as they are responsible for the actions of their people.

What a waste of funds


Nothing is there


People do got there to perpetuate their cyber crime

Due to stable power supply

Good roads

In terms of amenities it is as low as Ghana


If our foolish government could generate 247 power supply for her citizens.

Going to South Africa will never be an agenda for anyone

Ordinary power supply in Nigeria will create more jobs itself for everyone

Yea, african leaders need to wake up to their responsibilities. Africans die a lot at the Mediterranean sea due to poor leadership. If the current poor leadership across many african countries are not addressed, migration will continue to happen and it will surely cause issues.

Even here in Nigeria, migration is causing problems for Lagos state.

I honestly don’t know why it’s so hard for us to have stable electricity for years. It still baffles me. Why would I want to go to South Africa for ‘greener pasture’ if my country is okay? What do they have that we can’t ? We’ve a country full of potentials
