Nigerians and other foreign nationals residing in
Keimoes and Upington area of Northern Cape,
South Africa, have been given 12 hours to
vacate the communities.


This was after a violent clash between locals
and foreigners following the killing of a police
officer and his cousin on Wednesday.

A Nigerian had stabbed Constable Nico Visagie
and his cousin to death, infuriating locals, who
attacked foreigners and set their houses and
stalls on fire.

“The community members of Keimoes and
environs went on rampage, burning and
destroying properties belonging to foreign
nationals, Nigerians in particular.

"These attacks spread to Upington. Nigerians
and other foreign nationals were also expelled
from Upington.

“Prompt police intervention this morning
brought about calm but the situation is still
tensed.

“Some locals were arrested by the police for
public disturbance and malicious damage to
properties.

"They have appeared in Keimoes Magistrate
Court for a bail hearing,” said Adetola Olubajo,
President, Nigerian Union South Africa.

Olubajo further said that the suspect, who had
been on the run since the incident, has been
arrested and will appear in court on or before
next Monday.

He commended the South African Police Service
for their swift intervention, calling for more
protection for Nigerians and other nationals in
the Northern Cape.
