….Seeks Action on Xenophobia
The Nigerian community in South Africa says at least 105 Nigerians have been killed in the country over the past seven years amid recurring xenophobic attacks against migrants.
This is contained in a statement signed by leaders of the Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA), Smart Nwobi, and the Nigerian Citizens Association South Africa (NICASA), Frank Onyekwelu.
The group was reacting to a South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) report attributed to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), which reportedly claimed that migrants were not being killed in South Africa.
