South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramphosa has finally issued a statement on the ongoing escalated attack on Nigerians in South Africa.
The president in a video shared via his official twitter account says he condemns the violence that has been spreading around a number of provinces in the strongest terms.
He says he is convening a meeting of ministers in the security cluster today to ensure they keep close eyes on the violence and find ways of stopping them.
He says, ”The people of our country want to live in harmony; whatever concerns or grievances we may have, we need to handle them in a democratic way. There can be no justification for any South African to attack people from other countries.
