The Nigerian Union in South Africa say six guest houses owned by their members were burnt during attacks against Nigerians in Rustenburg, North West Province of South Africa.

Mr Paul Nwanedo, chairman of the union in the Province, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the telephone from Rustenburg, on Thursday that the attackers beat a woman and her child.

“ These attacks began on Sunday. Four Nigerians are in critical condition in the hospital. We also received a report that the Taxi drivers also beat a Nigerian woman and her child.

“ We can also confirm that six guest houses belonging to our people were burnt by the drivers.

“ We have not recorded any incident today. We have advised our people to remain indoors and ensure their safety.

“ As we speak, stakeholders comprising the police, taxi drivers and senior government officials are still in a meeting. The union was not allowed to be part of the meeting,” Nwanedo said.

The chairman said that the union was still taking stock of losses by Nigerians and would communicate to appropriate Federal government representatives in South Africa.

NAN learned that the taxi drivers went on the rampage following allegations that Nigerians sold drugs to a gang that attacked their members.

They also alleged that a Nigerian abducted and raped a 16-year-old South African girl.

Nwando said the allegations were false and spurious.

“ Our investigation so far showed that these allegations are false. No Nigerian has been arrested for alleged abduction or rape. The allegation of drugs selling to the gang is also untrue,” he said.

Leave South Africa and invest in Nigeria, especially South East

this is serious, south Africans has never a time hide their hatred for Nigerians. any small issues or anger they group themselves very easily once they hear its Nigerian and attack without questioning.

I hope south africans are not involved in this incident,cos those people can be heartless, especially towards Nigerians

It's hard to say I feel sorry for them but one advice though... Come home and invest.

Xenophobic set of people, I don't like that country aswear. They hating on Nigerians. I find it difficult to comprehend. Are Nigerians the only foreigners in that country? Why are they attacking Naija people?

It is time to send an aircraft to bring Nigerians in South Africa back home just like we did in Libya! Enough is enough!

Nigerians are now first class "endangered species", no where is safe both home and abroad.

Ahhrgg what a pity!!

Are u that blind or mentally unstable that you couldn't understand what i meant up there or are u a SOUTH AFRICAN trying to defend your lunatics brother.. . Abeg get off my comments .. Smh

Black south Africans are the most primitive Africans. Just imagine a south Africa without the white population... They would av been worse than Somalia by now.

The little inhibition from crudeness and savagery innately deposited in the average black south African is as a result of d European influence which is still existent till today

They know that its AN I.DIOT that is running things in Nigeria. He is only strong when it comes to killing armless citizens.
