Some Nigerians would rather take their chances in South Africa than come back home and live in fear of kidnappers demanding ₦50 million ransom. The situation is tough on both sides, but many people are simply trying to survive and earn an honest living. I am a qualified electrician, and if anyone needs electrical installation, maintenance, or related services, I will appreciate the opportunity to work. God bless everyone trying to make a living legally.
The government has said the deadline only affects those who are in South Africa illegally. undecided

Who are those clamping down on black people? It is ordinary xenophobic "blecks" while constituted authorities like police look the other way

They do not discriminate between those who are legal and those who are illegal, once you are "bleck men", you must go "bek" to your "kontri"

The chances of being killed in SA is higher than being kidnapped in Nigeria.

At this point I have no pity anymore for any migrant in South Africa. Whatever you see from Them, take it.

Any Nigerian in south Africa who still values his life should better leave before that day cuz I know those Xenophobic scallywags may likely shift the date of the deadline back cuz their frustration will likely be facilitated by South Korea after beating them in the world cup angry
The Lord and Saviour of some people has informed us that some of them say they prefer to die there. Let us wait and see. Besides, value for personal lives are subjective.

Whilst you are right, videos of people, that are not government officials, telling non South Africans to leave a hospital or mobs angrily telling other black business owners to close down suggests that deadline affects everyone, both illegal and legal.

There is also talk of these same people going to schools and telling non South African children or those with non South African parents to leave.

Unless the government starts cracking down on these non-regulated enforcers, and a shoot to kill on sight policy is not too bad, both legal and illegal people need to seriously think about leaving by the 30th.

So far, other South Africans, including their government are looking the other way despite being aware of the harassment. Not a good look at all.

I just dey pity our brothers and other Africans in that country, especially those with children.

I dont ever wish to find myself in such horrible condition.

1. The order came down from.ghr government and not the mob. Therefore any actions.taken by the mob in violation of the order or the law is to be regarded as criminal violation. 🥱

2. I believe harassment is violation of the legal code even in South Africa. People should endeavor to file charges against those who violate them in such manner. 🥱

3. The government cannot stop the protest. Rather, it can go after those who engage in criminal acts during those protests. And you can help the government by reporting those who commit such crimes with all evidence you may have to the authorities. 🥱

4. This is all the more reason why it is essential to report all incidents to the authorities as soon as they are identified. 🥱

There are never enough reasons not to do the common sense things like filing charges when crime is committed against one. 🥱

Ordinary xenophobic South Africans are still under the law. When they commit crimes, you file charges at the police and the authorities will take it from there. 🥱

All the more reason why you should know to report any incidents of harassment against your person to the authorities. 🥱

The videos are all over social media, you are welcome to Google them, or whatever your favourite search engine is, and report to the South African government.

These are not protests against ilegal immigrants, these are people calmly and boldly harassing business owners even after they have been shown the relevant papers. Or people going into a hospital calmly telling non South Africans to leave, not illegal immigrants, non South Africans.

The useless South African government already know it is happening by the way, and no doubt some elements within are sympathetic, but are pretending as if it's not.

The mob members are not even hiding their faces in the videos, that is how bold they are to be carrying out their repellant behaviour

if this is your understanding of what it means to assert your rights then maybe you should head back to Nigeria, the land of general lawlessness. 🥱

2. Criminal mob actions are crimes that should be reported to the authorities. 🥱

If you believe the government is useless than by all means return yourself back to Nigeria where your useful and capable government will serve you better. Otherwise,learn to use the legal tools provided by the government in South Africa to your advantage. 🥱

The order that came down from government is specific that only those in the country illegally will be impacted. If you are not there illegally then you should know that a mob attack is criminal and should be reported immediately to the authorities. 🥱

And the so called Authority has shown serious commitments so far?

Anyway, I dont reside there and I wish those Nigerians over there goodluck.

Government is saying they wil deport people by June 30th, random South African mobs are threatening business owners and going to schools and hospitals to chase people away.

The South African government haven't even acknowledged those videos to ask its people to stop and threaten severe repercussions if it continues to happen yet you are here blowing grammar about reporting to them, a complicit authority.

By the way, my post has nothing to do with a useful government of the original country of a business owner with valid papers and it is churlish of you to mention such. Focus on the criminality and stop shaming the victims.

You think the mob will wait for legal tools provided by the government before attacking people and ransacking shops.

I really should stop responding to you as you are back to your old tricks of not facing reality in order to gain some kind of "leverage" in a discussion.

The government has said and you think the government can protect you from these Xenophobic zombies hoards when poo hits the fan?
Seems you don't know how barbaric these guys can be. I once watched a video of a mob beating a foreign national to a pulp. The honor of finally killing the foreigner was given to a fifteen year old or thereabout girl who dropped a boulder on the Foreigner's head killing him instantly.
That image hasn't left my head till this day. These people can be ruthless. They have been killing foreigners for ages.
