South African Deputy President Cyril
Ramaphosa, on Monday in Nairobi tendered
apology to Kenyans, condemning the recent
brutal xenophobic attacks that claimed some
lives.
Ramaphosa, who was in Kenya to meet Kenyan
President Uhuru Kenyatta over South Sudan
crisis, apologized for the loss of lives.
He addressed thousands of Kenyans during
celebrations to mark 52 years of internal self-
rule in Nairobi.
Deputy President said his country want to
demonstrate unity as Africans for the continent
to prosper.
“I apologize to Kenyans and the rest of Africa for
the unfortunate events that recently took place
in South Africa.
We are all one united in the love of our
continent,” he said.
One Kenyan was killed in South Africa’s
xenophobic rampage in April.
Hassan Stima, a former casual laborer, was said
to have been attacked in his house on April 17 in
Johannesburg.
A wave of xenophobic attacks against foreign
African nationals hit the cities of Durban and
Johannesburg in April.
Foreign nationals were accused of taking away
jobs and businesses from natives.
Several African governments whose citizens
were victims of xenophobic attacks had also
threatened to shut down South African owned
business operating in those countries.
Ramaphosa said South Africa would still
continue hosting immigrants from foreign
countries.
“We are part of Africa, and we will continue to
welcome you to South Africa.
“We want to embrace you and work with you.
“I welcome Kenyans and the rest of Africa to
South Africa, we are sorry for the recent
Xenophobia attacks in our country,’’ he said.
Ramaphosa, who has held talks with President
Kenyatta and also attended celebrations in
Nairobi, was expected to travel later to Juba in
South Sudan to help solidify a political deal
there.
Ramaphosa’s Spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa
said the deputy president is the Special Envoy of
South African President Jacob Zuma to South
Sudan and would be joined by Abdurahman
Kinana, the Secretary General of Tanzania’s
ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi, as a co-
guarantor of the Sudanese People’s Liberation
Movement (SPLM) Reunification Agreement.
The Reunification Agreement was signed in
Arusha, Tanzania, earlier this year by various
factions of the SPLM.
