Ntshavheni made the remark on Saturday in response to criticism from former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, over comments she made during a press briefing on Friday.
South Africa’s Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, has doubled down on her government’s refusal to compensate Nigerians who abandoned properties while fleeing recent xenophobic attacks, insisting she “didn’t stutter” when she ruled out any compensation.
Ntshavheni made the remark on Saturday in response to criticism from former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, over comments she made during a press briefing on Friday.
SaharaReporters had reported that the Nigerian government, through the Acting High Commissioner to South Africa, Temitope Ajayi, announced plans to document businesses and other assets abandoned by Nigerians evacuated from South Africa with a view to seeking possible compensation from the South African government.
However, Ntshavheni rejected the proposal, maintaining that her government would not pay compensation.
