The Nigerian Community in South Africa said on Saturday that a mob destroyed four shops and several houses belonging to their members at Krugersdorp, near Johannesburg.

Mr Cyril James, the Ward Chairman of the Nigerian Union in the area, told newsmen on the telephone from Johannesburg, South Africa that the attacks began on Jan. 18.

James said that the mob alleged that a Nigerian abducted a South African girl and raped her.

“ The South Africans attacked our homes and shops, destroyed all we have. Many Nigerians suffered severe injuries during the attack. We have left our homes for safety because they (South Africans) are regrouping to attack us again,” he said.

James urged the Nigerian mission to urgently intervene before the mob kills a Nigerian.

According to him, the safety of Nigerians in Krugersdorp is no more guaranteed because there is no help.

Mr Adetola Olubajo, President of the union, said that the situation in the area was bad.

“ I can confirm that Nigerians in the area have been attacked. I am amazed and emotionally down as calls from panicked Nigerians flooded my phone from various Provinces.

“ The South African government needs to be engaged at the highest level to avoid further loss of lives and property of our citizens,” he said.

Olubajo said that two Nigerians had been killed in South Africa in Rustenburg and Durban since the attacks began.

“ Two Nigerians have been killed, many displaced and injured in fresh Xenophobic attacks and extra-judicial killing,” he said.

Two weeks ago, more than five Nigerian owned shops and houses were burnt at Rustenburg, North West Province by Taxi Drivers.

The drivers alleged that Nigerians sold drugs to a gang that attacked their members and that a Nigerian abducted and raped a 16-year old South African girl.

The union denied the allegations. “ After our investigation, no Nigerian has been arrested for the rape or drug offence. The allegations are false and spurious, “ the union said.

Hmmm

They are nothing but xenophobic beasts

Sleeping Giant that cannot Carter for her people but embezzling millions of public funds and stashing it overseas for their unborn generations

this is why Nigerians emigrated to countries they are far better off

This is serious. Shame on Nigeria Government.

Although the south African people are hostile to foreigners, a whole lot of atrocities committed by Nigerians over there isn't helping matters. A friend who lived there says some Nigerians are just too shady over there.

Mad animals. They have started again. The same people the mentally unstable man in Imo state is erecting statues for

These South Africans are very foolish by attacking one of their own... If they cannot support their fellow Africans, who will they support?

abike, let go

Nigerians in diaspora are been killed like chicken, the onse at home are been slaughtered like cow. Oh lord show us d way.

Trouble at home, trouble outside...
Haven't we served the 3rd generational curse??

Let's be honest, Nigerians are just are bad as the South Africans. You only need to see the handling of fulani herdsmen and the never ending apologist.

You see

Sometimes I wonder if South Africa is part of the real African Continent

Woe betide what ever thing that will compel me to set foot in that miserable HIV infested country.


I detest those south Africans with passion.
One of the reasons why I hated that bigbrother9ja show and never watched it. WHY SHOULD BBN SHOW BE AIRED FROM SOUTH AFRICA WHAT RUBBISH!

Nigerians there should come home and make your country better. I'm tired of hearing this type of story regularly.

Where is Rochas ? You said Zuma promised you that if you erect his status,they won't kill Nigerians again. Naija no good oooo. Chai Home no good,outside no good wetin we do for this world.

The honest truth is South African men are lazy but jealous of Nigerians intimidating them by taking all their girls. I have a South African lawyer on Facebook, she use to tell me how she prefers to employ a Nigerian than someone from her country. Another talked about how weak their men are on bed. Looking at all this, they will continue to attack Nigerians. Though some commit all sort of attrocities

I hope the current BBN is not in SA?

The leaders dis not fall from the sky.

If you like change the entire government from the executive to the judiciary with any random set of "qualified" you would have the same outcome.

At best you have a handful of visionaries at any given point in time.

There is an inherent evil manifest in most Nigerians and until that is exorcised no gains can be made .

Everywhere around the world, we have good people and bad people.

No place like home unfortunately Nigeria is just a house not a home.

After all, there's xenophobia in Nigeria too. Most Nigerians hate their fellow countrymen
