South Africa Not Safe for other Africans

If you are planning a trip to South Africa, you may need to put it on hold a bit, until the situation calms down.

South Africa has been hit by an outbreak of xenophobic violence in its biggest city, attracting criticism from other African nations in the week political and business leaders from at least 28 countries gather in Cape Town. Reports Bloomberg.

The violence which started on Sunday in the suburbs of Johannesburg has seen a number of non-south Africans properties destroyed, among the properties include cars and shops.

It should be noted that the African country is set to host the African Edition of World Economic Forum which is slated to start on the 4th of Sept the in Cape Town. Among other programs the Nigerian President is set to have a state visit to South Africa but it should be noted that among other foreign citizens who have been affected by xenophobia, Nigerians have been most affected, a number of them losing their lives.

This is not the first xenophobia attack on Africans from other African COUNTRIES BY SOME South African xenophobic groups, in 2008, 60 people were killed in South Africa but xenophobic groups.

The Nigerian President has been asked to take extra measures to see how the Nigerian citizens are protected, and from Namibia, the truck drivers have been requested to take serious precautions.
