Shoprite Speaks Out Against Xenophobia by skylane222(m): 1:02pm On Mar 06, 2017
SHOPRITE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST XENOPHOBIA

Shoprite Nigeria strongly condemns any kind of xenophobic violence and intimidation against the citizens of other countries, anywhere in the world. The retailer is highly concerned at the acts of violence against foreign nationals that sporadically flare up in South Africa and the resultant rhetoric of intolerance that is now being levelled against South Africans living in Nigeria.
As a company with deep African roots who employs thousands of African nationals and most importantly works to bring low prices to 14 countries outside of South Africa, we would like to see an end to xenophobia across the continent.
Shoprite appeals to the general public of South Africa and Nigeria to protect the human dignity and safety of all people living in both countries.
We remain committed to work with industry and the appropriate consumer groups to engage so that decisive action is taken against those involved in violent crimes and intimidation against foreign nationals as well as to convey our strong position against xenophobia.

shoprite is owned and managed by white people not black..

most of the big company in south Africa are own by white..

shoprite

pep

protea hotel

eskom

dstv

are all owned by white

so if nigerians destroy shoprite or any of this company it of no use....it the black race that will suffer and keep going backward..

during the last xenophobic protest that was organised in south Africa did you see any white among those holigan who are just looking for oppurtinuty to loot?..No..trust me if these company are eventually forced to leave nigeria we are going to suffer..our economy will suffer..think of the unemployment..eskom is an electricity company..e be like say una won remain for darkness..na una go suffer am.it will cost them noting to leave nigeria and.move to Europe or other countries.

The Nigerians/Gambians and other nationals that were killed in SA, did they deserve it?

No kne bloody cares if Shoprite deserves it or not. Shop rite, DSTV, MTN are owned by SA and repatraite billions from Nigeria. Do you know that not a singke soul has been arrested in connection with the recent uosurge of xenophobia?

SA multinationals in other countries need to face the music too since their citizens don't know how to live in peace with other Africans.
