The Federal
Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reacted to reports of renewed attacks on
Nigerians residing in South Africa. In a statement released by the Ministry's
spokesperson, Clement Aduku last night, the ministry said the reports of
renewed attacks calls for great concern as it comes few weeks after an attack
that caused grave damage to Nigerians and their businesses.
According to
the statement, an altercation between two Nigerians and some South Africans led
to a fight at a motorpark in Polokwane at the Limpopo province on March 14th.
The Nigerians were injured and taken to a hospital. One has been discharged
while the other is still receiving medical attention. The businesses of the
Nigerians were however destroyed. The statement adds that this act can however
not be classified as a xenophobic attack.
