seppuku:
Yep, those Visa fees are a money maker.

seppuku:

Nigerians’ Visa Applications To South Africa Almost Double Despite Attacks On Foreigners –Consul-General Moroe

The South African Consul-General to Nigeria, Prof. Bobby Moroe, has disclosed that visa applications from Nigerians to South Africa have almost doubled, despite concerns over attacks on foreigners and safety in the country.

Moroe made the disclosure during an interview on Nigerian Info FM, monitored by SaharaReporters, while assuring Nigerians that South Africa remained open to visitors for tourism, business and other purposes.

The envoy said the significant rise in visa applications showed that many Nigerians still intended to travel to South Africa.

“I indicated during the beginning of the show that the number of visa applications have almost doubled,” Moroe said.

“So we are quite comfortable and we have no doubt that a lot of Nigerians who still want to visit South Africa for whatever reason can still go there.”

Moroe’s comments come amid concerns among some Nigerians over travelling to South Africa because of reports of attacks against African migrants, including Nigerians.

“I just want to give reassurance that South Africa is open for business, South Africa is open for tourism and South Africa is open for any other form of visit,” he said.

“It is everybody’s responsibility to ensure that before you travel, you ensure that you have your visa, you comply with the immigration laws of the country, you become a good ambassador of your country.”

He also advised Nigerians visiting South Africa to familiarise themselves with their rights, the country’s laws and the locations of law enforcement agencies.

“When you get to South Africa, you know and understand your rights, but you must also familiarize yourself with the laws of the country,” Moroe said.

The diplomat further rejected the description of violent attacks against foreigners in South Africa as xenophobia, insisting that the country was not hostile to migrants.

“There’s no xenophobia in South Africa,” he said.

IronGalaxy:
Does he personally know Tswanas to be stingy of he heard people saying that?

seppuku:

Very quiet people. Do not like too much wahala but also can be very stingy at times. lol.

seppuku:
its shame that a country with over 150 ethnic groups and numerous languages we are all filed into the usual Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba groupings.

Shows how much you know, no?

seppuku:
Personally, I do not support that view.

I am one of the Nigerians who talks against such rhetoric so you have +1

Just because a Nigerian disrespects you by saying your women like him more so than you really has nothing to do with whether he is legally in the country or not?

jaksmillioniar:
gosh u pple are so lucky.

Samantha125:
What's your native language? If I may ask.

Kushites:
SHOW US YOUR BLACK TOWNSHIPS WITH DIRT ROADS, NO WATER AND ELECTRICITY. NOT THIS....GARBAGE.

Kushites:
You are a LIAR.

What was shown was BLACK TOWNSHIPS which is where the overwhelming MAJORITY of black South Africans live.

seppuku:
I do not share the same sentiment because as a stand alone, it is a nonsensical statement

Are there Nigerians who own businesses in South Africa who are thriving, Yes.

Does that contribute to the economic well being in the country in terms of job creation and tax revenues, yes.

Does that equate to developing a country, depends and is debatable.

Mirasteel:
I still wonder the useless mods always push South Africa threads to front page.

seppuku:
How does giving money to the ANC during apartheid translate to claims made by Nigerians that they developed SA?

I am confused?

seppuku:
Believe what you want to believe. The fact remains that no one support illegal immigration and I have not spoken to one Nigerian who says South Africans should open up their doors to everybody in Africa to come in.

ZombieDredd:
This is london alone.
SA is second after nigeria

What a HARD SEARCH!!!

morpheus24:
"We supported you during apartheid" is a reaction to the vigilantism, harassment, violence and propaganda perpetrated by South Africans on Nigerians in "general" and not a blackmail to accept illegal immigration.

Your government officials issued these visas which Nigerians use to reside, work and run businesses in South Africa, no?

No buddy, "we supported you during apartheid" has been used to silence South Africans for decades, just like "your xenophobic".

Before the violence we were told not to complain about Illegal migrants because "we spent $20B to free you black slaves as Giant of Africa". "We own you, we developed South Africa ". "We own your women"

Have you conveniently forgotten? Today you're the ones crying and seeking AU/UN help 😂😂😂

morpheus24:
2. Please can you point to articles, write ups, posts where Nigerians support "illegal migration" into South Africa? We know the difference between law enforcement and xenophobia

seppuku:
What do you mean by migrate illegally?
y?

seppuku:
So we agree that your people Japa just like Nigerians and the MAJOR gripe you have with Nigerians is because we come back to insult our host country after we are caught.
.

seppuku:
There are many of you in the US and Europe who do this but your people back home are under the impression that you don't because it is not reported.
