Unfortunately, SERAP is clutching at straws. It's quite clear that they've been misinformed or chose to rely on cheap rumors and the fake videos that have appeared on social media. Perhaps this could be good for Africa Magic or propaganda purposes but not for a court of law which knows what it's doing. How will they be able to prove any of their allegations about a link between what the Zulu King said and attacks on foreigners which followed two weeks later? As for the alleged complicity of the South African President and security forces, it's sad to say but they are laughable. By the way, how many Nigerians were killed? None. 7 people died, including three South Africans. Does SERAP really think that there would only be 4 foreigners dead, if millions of ordinary South Africans, security forces and the President hadn't stood firm against violence? I'm afraid SERAP is ether suffering from infantile disorder or is not aware that April Fool Day was on the 1st of April 2015.
The African people desperately need and expect cool-headed and mature leadership at every level. We don't need shortsighted organisations like SERAP which appear to want to undo the good work that President Zuma, his cabinet, African diplomats, representatives of immigrants and others have been doing, especially in the past two weeks. SERAP can go on with its divisive plans which appear to be designed to prevent the strengthening of the relations that subsist between South Africa and Nigeria. They're wasting their time. On this side of the continent we've put an end to unacceptable attacks on foreigners and are doing all we can to ensure that there's enduring peace and friendship between locals and immigrants. We need Nigeria and South Africa to work together, the way they did when President Obasanjo was in office and even better.
