Xenophobia: South Africa high commission shuts down offices over retaliatory attacks
South Africa high commission has shut down its Lagos and Abuja offices over retaliatory attacks on South African citizens and businesses by Nigerians.
The Nation reports that the directive was given by the acting high commissioner, Amb Bobby Moroe, who said he directed the mission to suspend all consular activities until the situation improved. According to Monroes, the reported attacks on South Africans in some parts of the country informed the decision to close down the diplomatic mission. He said: “I directed that the mission should be closed until the situation improves. We heard that South Africans were being pulled out of vehicles and attacked. We feel unsafe and that is why I directed that the mission should close down until further notice.
