South Africa closes Nigerian consulate
2015-04-21 20:31
Johannesburg - South Africa has closed its
consulate in Lagos, following anti-xenophobia
protests, Netwerk24 reported.
Protests were held outside the consulate and
at the South African High Commission in
Abuja.
South African consul general in Nigeria, Sam
Monaisa, said in an e-mail to the South
African business forum that the closure would
remain in force until Thursday.
The situation in Durban had calmed down, but
he was concerned about Nigerians that were
being repatriated, he wrote.
Many Nigerians were using social media to
blow an already tense situation in South Africa
out of proportion and stoking emotions.
This was why many maintained that their
compatriots were being killed in South Africa
daily, he said.
He warned the forum's members to stay alert
and not move around unnecessarily. South
African businesses and citizens became
targets of threats and acts of retaliation
whenever xenophobic attacks occurred in
South Africa, he cautioned.
Meanwhile, in Zimbabwe 15 people who were
part of a first group of Zimbabweans returning
home in the wake of xenophobic attacks in
Durban have "disappeared" in Musina, state
media reported Tuesday.
The official Herald said in an online update:
"Fifteen victims disappeared in Musina where
they reportedly claimed feeling safe because
there were no xenophobic attacks reported."
There were no further details.
Zimbabwe is repatriating up to 2 000 of its
citizens who have asked to be evacuated in
the wake of the attacks.
The first six buses carrying 407 Zimbabweans
left Durban on Sunday.

Re: South Africa Closes Nigerian Consulate by 1stola: 9:15pm On Apr 21, 2015
Seriously, I don't know what this miserable South Africans are feeling like.
Mandela must be crying in his grave now coz he slept in prison for nothing!
These animals don't deserve freedom.
They are the real reason the whites call blacks "monkeys"
Even their stupĂ­d president is in support of it and i don't
blame him when our own president just sits idle without
taking any measure to resolve or repatriate our citizens.
At this juncture, we should also be preparing to destroy
everything south Africans own in Nigeria too e.g Shoprite,
Mr Price, GoTv, DSTV, MTN, STANBIC BANK E.T.C
When the time is right, i will personally revenge.
100 modafĂșcking lives of South Africans to every 1
Nigerian life lost.
Imagine what they did to a three years old boy after killing
his parent...

Even if they kill a hundred Nigerians a day, our government won't do nada. That's sadly the way things are. There is a huge gap between the led and the leaders in this country. If a son of a minister or top politician is maimed, that is when they will spring into action. That has been the case with previous governments, it is the case with this government and inspite of the feel-good mentality that follows this 'change' dispensation, I have a weird feeling things might not change quickly on this score. It is a sober reality. It is even more pathetic when you face foreign authorities with that realisation at the back of your mind that you are on your own. . I don't know why things are like this. It is overwhelminly alarming when it is obvious that an ordinary tarse message from. abuja might save a Nigerian life ourside, yet no matter how long the wait, that message won't come. The way our ruling elite looks at leadership in this country needs a total recalibration.

South African airways and their ruthless companies milking the generosity of Nigeria is what needs to close. Not the embassies helping hapless visa seekers.
