Despite the continuous outcry by Nigerians in
South Africa that they have been subjected to
xenophobic attacks meted out by the citizens,
the heinous act has continued to thrive, writes
Martins Ifijeh

One thing common with most Africans is their
spirit to accommodate strangers who either
come to visit them or live amongst them, and
the reason is not far fetched from the fact that
Africans are naturally happy people who love to
embrace not just fellow Africans but people
from other races and continents.

Popular among such countries is Nigeria, which
is home to all 53 African countries, including
South Africans , Ghanians , Kenyans , Benin
Republicans , Zambians, as well as other
countries outside the continent, without being
threatened by their presence here in the country.
All Nigerians do is help such foreigners nurture,
guide and provide enabling environment for them
to excel in what ever brings them to the
cosmopolitan country.

Popular among countries that have made
Nigeria their business hub because of the huge
financial returns and the enabling environment
they benefit is South Africa – known to own
DSTV ; which is arguably the biggest cable
network in Nigeria and MTN; one of the biggest
telecommunication giants in the country as well.
But this spirit of accommodation cannot be said
of South Africa, a fellow African country that
constantly reminds foreigners, mostly Nigerians,
that they are not welcomed in their country as
they believe their economic opportunities are
being hijacked by these foreigners. Their major
issue against Nigerians and other immigrants is
that these foreigners have penchants for hard
work and ability to make good economic use of
any environment they find themselves.


Many Nigerians who have lived in South Africa
often share sorry tales of how they have been
unfortunately targets of hate crimes propelled by
xenophobia from South Africans.
The recent xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and
other foreign black nationals living in South
Africa reportedly originated from a statement
credited to the King of Zulu, Goodwill Zwelithini,
when he asked all foreign nationals living in
South Africa to go back to their country because
they are depriving their own citizens of job and
other economic opportunities.


Though the king has claimed that his comments
were distorted, the locals however interpreted
his speech to mean that they have been given
go ahead to commit hate crimes against
Nigerians and other black foreigners. An
interpretation that has snowballed into the loss
of lives of six persons while shops and other
businesses of foreigners have either been looted
or destroyed in a bid to force them out of their
country.


What is worrisome is that the government is
doing very little to quell the outcry; evidenced by
the fact that no South African has been
prosecuted for these heinous crimes against
fellow humans.
Even more disturbing is the recent video of a
black foreigner being....
