A lot of Black South Africans (especially those at the bottom of the pyramid), have always had issues with the rapidly expanding and often highly resourceful African community in their country.
These set of South African citizens, unfortunately, see fellow Africans as low hanging fruits that they can throw sticks at, kill, rape, steal from and bully, without serious repercussions from their government or security apparatus.
Personally, I have had black South Africans ask me if I am Ibo or Yoruba while I was in South Africa. I asked why and they said if I was Ibo they would have been wary of me! I personally thought that was a load of crap, profiling a whole tribe based on the sins of a few.
I have had a South African lady tell me to my face that Nigeria is a Banana Republic! I remember the venom in her voice and the disdain in her eyes.
I have had a black South African hotel manager yell at me to allow him finish what he was saying and not interrupt him because he profiled me as an arrogant and aggressive Nigerian.
Fact is, there is a lot of anger in that land, maybe due to the years of suppression they suffered during the long period of apartheid, or maybe be other underlying issues. This has made a lot of them disillusioned and unsure of self.
The swag and never-say-die spirit of the Nigerian is also a major point of irritation for a lot of South Africans, because we just seem to swoop in, take over the whole place and start living their dreams right in front of them!
However, let's not forget that we also tend to piss people off with our loud, showy, noisy and in-your-face lifestyles and quite a number of our people are involved in a lot of unsavory things.
Let's also remember that we treat ourselves like crap in our own country, we kill, kidnap and decimate ourselves and sadly, our government seems to have abandoned us to our fate and we constantly and viciously demarket ourselves and our country in cyberspace, forgetting that others are watching and learning.
I believe we need to reassess our individual relationships as Nigerians, before we reassess our relationship with South Africa and its people. There's a lot for us to do to get from where we are to where we are supposed to be.
This time however, our government should stop speaking grammar and make a strong statement in this regard, because really, enough is enough.
God bless.

Why you all beat your Chests in South Africa not in your Countries, No South Africa can go to your Countries and beat his/her Chest to your locals, I don't understand your point at all, Why you push your point in South Africa like this, I truly fail to understand you Guys Xenophobic is Bad, But you must also Change your attitude when you're in other countries

Stevecovey:
Lol! U no understand english? The person u replied was implying dt u were 'protecting bad guy's' with your comments, and dt she has no reason to, dts why shes exposing their SA policemen as corrupt.

That reason is always coming from the attackers when asked why they behave bad like this you Backward
Watch the News you will see all this excuses, But our government is working very hard to control the situation

I never watched the News since from Thursday last week, It was my first time to see this Problem on the News today, That is Why I am Saying, Sorry Guys This is really Sad

At least our Police did their work very well

King44:
then it simple the SAs shouldn't go after Nigerians all they need do is pressure the government to evacuate Nigs living there so u guys could recover, the government can do it no need of making their life a hell

It's sad because some innocent People are also affected by this conflict, This is scary Brother, Only a brave man will stand for this conflict Is up to individual to decide, This is a long time Problem, We must be honest about this [

Brother! Do you know when this Xenophobic started, Almost immediately After our Democracy, Don't you think our People need their own Space?

If not! Why they are behaving so badly towards Others?

Open Borders will cause more Problems, You can clearly see from Now, Those who don't Believe me, They'll see, This is a taste, We are going to see a miracles I always see something wrong from the distance, This week it was a Drama More Drama is coming The Best way is to distance yourself from all this Drama

morpheus24:
Take all the time you need. You have made the point clear. You do not want people in your space.

We have heard!

Oooh Please, You are Becoming more Backward nowadays, I am the one who apologized first to my fellow Africans because of the Bad Behavior of our People, You jump on me for No Reason, God knows, I am not Backward like you think, I don't have any reason to hate my Fellow Africans, The whole thing of killing people for what ever reason time and again is Stressing, Truly Speaking ,For Peace Sake, They Better go back to their Countries

morpheus24:
Peace of mind to do what?

1. When they clustered you in Bantustans were you not there in peace of mind, why did you want to move freely within all parts of SA

2. Who is disturbing your peace of mind, is anyone hindering you from enjoying your country. You make no sense other than finding excuses to lash out at others. You are not forced or coereced into talking to an African foreigner. You are free to associate with who you desire.

You are not making an ounce of sense. This is the same mentality whites have when they tell you they want to exist by themselves in their own enclaves without anyone bothering them yet they want to move freely around the whole entire world without hinderance.

Grow up man!

If you're happy with all this Conflicts between Migrants and South African Migrants time and again, Good For You,
Innocent Migrants are dying because of the hate towards them in Most of the time, If you're Happy About That, Good For You,

Peace Of Mind
If I don't see this Killings of Migrants each and every time, My Mind will Rest,
When African People Cry all over the Continent because of Xenophobic! My Mind Don't Rest , If you're happy, Good for You.

Space

According to the Killings of Migrants time and again, I Believe this Murderers don't need them, Which is True, You can't attack people that you love the most time and again

Reason for all this poooo0
It might happen we spent a lot of our time without our African Brothers, It might happen we need time to recover, Which is fair ,If you see it in order way Round, Good for you,

morpheus24:
Welcome to the 21st century. You better adjust properly otherwise you will become extinct.

Survival of the fittest and smartest. No excuses.

I do understand that you need time for mental adjustment after liberation but this I know, even if you send all the African foreigners out of your country you will still have the same psychological problems because the problem stems from within and not from without.

My Brother, You always talk about African Union when you are angry, Everything that you think is sanction towards South Africans, Is what most of South Africans want, We don't see that as a sanction, For us is Peace Of Mind, Believe me Brother, We don't hate you, We need to do our things, Only this Looters are really trouble towards you for their own reasons, The common reason among us is Peace of Mind,Nothing Else

kgr28:
What concerns you with S.A. affairs?? Stay in your lane focus on yuor country.

Tell him Brother

blindjustice13:
so why are the white men still occupying your ancestral lands and banning you from white owned churches and forbidding you from renting apartments in certain areas yet you claim you are fighting for your land back from black foreigners?

You are truly Backward, Where do you get this information from, Do want to talk about Apartheid?

blindjustice13:
translation:

South Africans are suffering from years of conditioning by their apartheid masters ,they are still stuck with their slave mentality but they cant fight their white masters so they would cowardly fight black foreigners.

They aren't new before our eyes, We spent all our lifes with them, Forget about our Up and Downs, We're South Africans

sassysure:
I watched a documentary on this last month.
U are right but. I will tell u the truth.
Your people lack self esteem so much.
I am thinking it's yrs of white colonialism.
U guys don't mingle. U hardly travel and u have that victim mentality written all over you.

I so much agree our people and people from other countries do illegal things in your place but why don't u guys sit up?

The victim mentality and rascality u guys display is exactly what the blacks do in America.
Is that helping u guys?
Remove the white minority that control your economy and hunger will kill u guys as u guys have refused to strive to erode yourselves of victim mentality.

Our country is likewise filled with the most corrupt officials. Our police was rated the most corrupt yet we forge ahead and sometimes confront and deal with them. So why can't u guys deal with your institutions?
Very soon u will be an island unto itself.
U forgot too soon. Without other African countries, u would have still been slaves.
After slavery ,many African countries and the world gave u free pass. From the way u guys are going, that door will soon close if care is not taken and when u cry out ,nobody will answer

My Brother, You are correct Somewhere, We don't travel, Especially across Africa, We were isolated from the Rest of the Continent since from the beginning of South Africa, The are so many things that we don't understand from our Continent, We used to do things our way for many years, You do things differently, We aren't used to migrate, We always want to solve our problems right here at home, Your Number is growing with a different culture, Most of us it's very difficult to cope with the whole thing, Most of us need our own space, We don't get that space, This is truly frustrating, We don't Support this Looters and criminals, But we're battling to be Honest, We don't hate you Guys but we're not used to the whole thing.

Lastly! We aren't struggling like you claim, Our life is perfect, That's Why we don't dream about Overseas Countries, Nothing special on other Countries, This thing of Migration is disturbing most of us, We don't want it to be specific, It doesn't mean we hate you Guys, But we need our space,

Is going to take years before we understand the whole thing, We only travel because of business matters and return to our country again, I don't think My People hate you, is all about culture or life style

Only this Looters are really Problem, No one is supporting them

Guys! Tell me, Do you Support your "Holy" Guys or What? I don't understand your point completely

Kaybex007:
I have said it before that their government knows about the on going attack and this is a substantial evidence.

Stop changing things you Guys, I understand you want to protect your Guys, But don't undermine our System because of your People

This is insensitive,i never expect to hear this type of statement from a person holding a public office.This type of statement at a time of high tension,show that South Africa people level pass ipod.

We do things our way in South Africa, Nothing wrong from the Statement of our minister, She has more information than you think

blindjustice13:
i know you south African savages on this forum think you can talk trash .

You know what! You want to change My mind

legitnow:
I AM NOW A BAD GUY TO U RIGHT?


BY THE WAY, WHO GIVE U RIGHT TO JUDGE PEOPLE U DONT KNOW?

Man! You don't know the meaning of "Protect "! Are you Backward or What?

blindjustice13:
But these attacks have been going on for years both on Nigerians and other Africans so what is she saying?

Drugs Dealers don't Stop to sell the drugs

legitnow:
NO EXCUSES!

I don't have any reason to protect Bad Guys like you

Iamgrey5:
@ emboldened

No, it is not true

If one person is involved in a criminal activity, he or she should be arrested and tried In competent court of law.

However, your police and justice system is just as corrupt as all African countries and we understand that.

Hence, criminals are given a free hand in your country.

However, government officials and average South Africans shouldn't blame their inadequacies on a group of people who are simply trying to make a living for themselves.

Some Corrupt police take a bribe from this drug dealer and let them free if the Community report them, That's where mob justice is taking advantage of the whole situation, The community always complain about the corrupt officials, That's Why they are behaving like this

Iamgrey5:
I am only saying the truth bro

Even if you expell all Nigerians from your country,

It won't stop the ita boys from robbing the next victim on busy street of Johannesburg and Pretoria

It won't stop the Indian Mafia in Chatsworth in Durban from drug and human trafficking

It won't stop gang violence in the cape flats in Capetown

We need to tell ourselves the bitter truth bruv.

We are all Africans and we tend to hypocritical.

While we can't deny the fact that some Nigerians are involved in criminal activities in South Africa, it's unfair to encourage tugs to target all Nigerians by magnifying the role of Nigerians in the criminal activities in Southafrica.

My Brother, The Problem here is : " When you're outside your Country, You're going to need your fellow Nigerians, In most case you're going to be surrounded by your People, If one of you causes Problem, Mob justice will attack you all ,This is What is going on here, You are all guilty According to Mob Justice, because of one or two people, Which is Sad

baby124:
I thought we had incompetent government officials in Nigeria. But the level of incompetence is South Africa blows my mind away. The government officials words and actions show that they support the mob actions of their people. If there are drug pushers/dealers in your country why not arrest, jail and or deport them? Are you an animal? Why mention it now during this Xenophobia saga as kind of a justification for what happened?

Yet, Nigerian government is trying to play the bigger role. Well Nigerian government is sitting on a potential explosion because 6months from now, it will happen again and this time, Nigeria will explode. The repercussions will affect the politicians in Nigeria if they do not take decisive actions against South Africa now.

We do things differently in South Africa, You can't compare our justice system with any Country in the Continent

mekuxiani:
the woman looks like a Dog

The Behavior like this push our Bad guys to put you under one cover

Iamgrey5:
No she is wrong

How many Nigerians have been involved in huge drug bust in SA ?

I have seen East Europeans, Cape coloured gangstas and Indians more involved in drugs and criminal activities than many Nigerians in SA.

What about the cases of rape and street robbery carried out by your regular street boys (ita)

Your police is also redundant and corruption is everywhere In country.

Although, we cannot deny that some Nigerians are involved in criminal activities in your country but please don't make seem like every criminal activities in your country starts and ends with Nigerians.

I can see you are trying to protect your People, Good for that, No one said all Nigerians are criminals

legitnow:
WE NEED TO STOP ALLOWING FOREIGNERS CALL US BAD NAME.


AS MUCH AS U HAVE NIGERIANS INVOLVED IN VICES, U ALSO HAVE SO MANY NIGERIAN DOCTORS IN SOUTH AFRICA.


SO, Y NOT ALLOW THE LAW TO DEAL WITH CRIMINALS?


U WANT TO USE MEDIA TO DEAL WITH NIGERIA AND BLACK LIST THE COUNTRY.



UNACCEPTABLE, IF SHE SAID THIS, THEN NIGERIA GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT.

Like I said before, She isn't wrong, The Problem here is mob justice, Our government has the right to issue the Statement, You can't oppose our government since you're Clueless about the whole issue, Our government it has a full information

legitnow:
NONSENSE EXCUSE FOR MURDERING NIGERIANS.


THEY WILL NEED SOMETHING TO SAY AS THEIR DEFENSE.


TRIBALIST NIGERIANS WILL BE QUICK TO JOIN THEM IN GIVING THEIR COUNTRY A BAD NAME.



ARE NIGERIANS THE ONLY PEOPLE INVOLVED IN DRUGS IN SOUTH AFRICA?



Y SINGLE OUT NIGERIA.



ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

My Brother, This People know What they are talking about, But they don't deserve this harsh punishment

AkeNathan:
He is right. Many Nigerians in SA are drug dealers and human traffickers.

But i wish the SA govt would seek assistance from the NGA govt on how to clamp down on NGA nationals with questionable characters who intend to come to SA and stay, because it is those ones with questionable characters that indulge in crime in SA

The Police of SA also, should do their jobs in bursting crime gangs, and not allow civilians attack foreigners lawlessly, because that is barbaric.

My Brother, I am really worried when you Support this since we have bad guys all over the place, We all know about the drugs Story, But They don't deserve this harsh punishment, I never watched the News this past weekend till today, Is when I realized things where not right at all, I thought you are Busy with your Giant thing when you're making noise here online, Only to found out you are talking sense
