Cape Town - South Africans should not
be surprised if Boko Haram splinter
groups are operating in the country,
Deputy International Relations Minister
Luwellyn Landers said on Wednesday.
While there was no proof the Islamic
militant group was operational in South
Africa, he was concerned, he told
reporters at Parliament.
"That has to be a concern for anybody
and we shouldn't be surprised if they
are here," Landers said.
"Someone who does a lot of work in
Africa said to me it's very difficult to
pinpoint just who belongs to Boko
Haram because they have succeeded in
integrating in every community they
seek to be part of."
Boko Haram has been blamed for a
series of bombings, mainly in north-
east Nigeria, its suspected base of
operations.
In the latest attack on Tuesday, a truck
exploded, killing at least 15 people in
the city of Maiduguri, a city repeatedly
hit by Boko Haram members.
The group made headlines after it
kidnapped over 200 schoolgirls in
Nigeria's Borno state in April.
Other countries, including Cameroon,
have begun a crackdown on suspected
Boko Haram splinter groups.
"South Africa will continue to support
the actions taken by the African Union
in support of Nigeria and other
countries where the scourge of
terrorism and armed groupings impact
on the lives of innocent people and
impede development," Landers said.
Boko Haram's influence in other
countries could be more pronounced as
its members blended into their
surroundings.
"They don't go around wearing specific
colours or overalls or logos, so... you'll
never know that the person sitting next
to you is a member of Boko Haram.
That's how effective they've become,"
Landers said.
