If not justified, their apparent xenophobia is perhaps understandable. Especially given the history of South Africa. |

we thought racism from the white race was a threat to the lives of Black people , now that racism from whites are reducing , we black people are now replacing racism with xenophobism , tribalism and ethinicism , its a shame for all of us , we complain so much about racism ...and once that is being tackled ,we africans come up with our own hatred for one another ..and this is one of the reasons racism has not been eradicated completely ..this issue does not even pertain to South Africa alone , we have the same black on black hatred issue in USA ,UK as well ( black Caribbean hate Africans , east Africans hate west African , and all kind of evil acts) . We need to start thinking about the way we treat one another . We all thought that when apartheid is wiped out , south Africa will be the greatest and friendliest country in the world , but the South Africans have short memory and have allowed the evil hatred they fought so much to be part of them ..and start to kill those that fought for them during apartheid . I have cancelled my trip to south Africa and I will not be going there anymore . I AM NOT SAYING ALL SOUTH AFRICANS ARE XENOPHOBIC ..but you only need one person to cause havoc ..2 percent of a population is enough to create riots and hate in a country . |

http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/05/world ... d=tw-share Published: May 5, 1985 LAGOS, Nigeria, May 4— Thousands of illegal aliens, carrying mattresses, clothing and cooking utensils, poured back across the borders to their homelands today, ordered out by Nigeria's military rulers. The foreigners had been attracted to Nigeria in part by an oil boom in the 1970's, but now the West African nation has deep economic problems and an increasing crime rate, which it attributes in large measure to the immigrants. On Friday, the Government opened its borders to speed the expulsion of 700,000 foreigners. It was the first time Nigeria's borders with Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon were open since April 1984, when the Government closed them to combat the black market in the country's ailing currency, the naira. The aliens, who were ordered out last month, were part of the second wave of foreigners to be forced from Nigeria by the Government in three years. Reporters at the western border with Benin today said Nigerian customs officials were searching the departing foreigners closely and refusing to let tiem carry out more than the 20 naira, or $17.65, allowed by law. They also said bus drivers were doing a brisk business charging twice the normal fare to carry passengers across the border. The illegal immigrants were among the millions of West Africans, mostly from Ghana, who flooded into Nigeria in hopes of benefiting from the country's oil-based economy. But world demand for oil has waned and the price has dropped, sending Nigeria into a steep economic decline and swelling its foreign debt. In January 1983, the civilian Government of President Shehu Shagari ordered out about two million foreigners, blaming them for widespread unemployment and crime. Roads to the border were clogged with people carrying personal belongings. Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari overthrew Mr. Shagari in December 1983, and last month the Buhari Government announced it was giving the remaining illegal aliens until May 10 to leave. But until the Government opened the borders on Friday, only small groups were reported to have left on planes and ships. The state-controlled Lagos radio reported Friday that Interior Minister Mohammed Magoro had met with ambassadors from neighboring countries whose citizens were affected by the expulsion order. The radio quoted ministry officials as saying foreigners would be driven to the borders in ministry vehicles or allowed to buy airline tickets with Nigerian currency. Ordinarily, foreigners must pay in foreign currency. Ghanaian officials said about 300,000 of the 700,000 foreigners were migrant workers from Ghana. Officials said 100,000 were from Niger and most of the rest from Chad and Cameroon. In addition to the attraction of Nigeria's oil boom, many of the non-Ghanaians came to Nigeria to escape drought and the threat of famine in their home countries. ---- BENIN BLOCKS HUNDREDS COTONOU, Benin, May 4 (Reuters) - Several hundred illegal aliens, expelled from Nigeria and barred from entering Benin, camped Friday night in a no-man's land between the two countries, witnesses said today. Benin border officials, who turned non-Benin nationals away, said that Nigeria's opening of the border had surprised them and that they had received ''no clear instructions'' on how to deal with the influx of aliens. Benin officials said they were justified in rejecting non-Benin nationals since many of the aliens might try to stay in Benin because they had no money to continue their journey. No vehicles were officially reported to have crossed the frontier Friday, but witnesses reported that many minibuses and private cars with Nigerian license plates had entered Benin along isolated bush tracks. Foreigners who went through the bush will now have to obtain permits to travel through Benin, a tightly controlled Marxist nation, if they are to reach their final destination. 1 Like |

^^^^^ Can you also be fair and report that this was a reciprocal act when the Ghanaian govt did the same to Nigeria in the 70's. Plus posting that Nigerians committed this act in the past simply shows that SA is still very infantile when it comes to history of AFrica in terms of cases in Rwanda, Ivory Coast, CAR and so with your ZUlu chief using words like "lice" or "cockroaches" to describe foreign nationals. Yet you want to come out and lead the continent. |
Re: See What South Africans Had To Say Concerning Xenophobia by RSA(m): 5:44pm On May 01, 2015 |
I agree with you about not knowing the history; but i must also insists on pointing out that our government and majority of its people don't support the violence on our neighbors. If Ghanaians did it in the 70s to your people why then include cameroonians; Nigerians and Chadians? You might have the answer to the above but in South Africa I think people should start asking themselves and the government some questions.From immigration laws to corruption and service delivery. I don't think the issues are about fear or hatreds of our fellow African brothers. Until we find the answers this problem will continue to happen. |
