Two South African communities issue eviction notice to Nigerians
Two South African communities have issued eviction notice to Nigerians there, saying it was their punishment for the crimes of the foreigners.
Nigeria Union in South Africa made the eviction threats known on Wednesday.
President of the union, Mr. Ikechukwu Anyene, said the Kuruman community in Northern Cape Province gave Nigerians till Thursday to leave the place.
Anyene also said the Klaafontein community, Extension 5, Johannesburg, directed landlords not to renew the rent of Nigerians in the area. He said the grievance of the South Africans was that Nigerians were responsible for some social vices such as illicit drug trade and prostitution.
Anyene said: “The Nigeria union held series of meetings with the affected communities as well as police and local authorities on the recent threats to Nigerians.
“We have also written reports on these incidents and sent to the Nigerian Mission and the South African police. We recommended interventions before the June 16 deadline to the mission and we are waiting for their response.
“The union is worried that any incident involving non -South Africans are attributed to Nigerians.”
Anyene said a Ugandan man, who allegedly abused a girl in Kwazulu Natal Province, was described as a Nigerian in the media.
