South-Africans burn houses of Nigerians in Johannesburg source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/02/south-africans-burn-houses-of-nigerians.html At least 15 houses either belonging or rented by immigrants, especially Nigerians, have been burnt by angry residents in Rosettenvile, south of Johannesburg. The residents are reported to be angry that foreign nationals had turned the neighbourhood into a drug haven. Africa Review reports on Sunday that some shops belonging to foreign nationals in the area were also looted. South African residents in the area claim Nigerians had illegally taken over most properties and turned them into drug and prostitution dens. The African Diaspora Forum (ADM) chairperson, Mr Marc Gbaffou, confirmed the attacks and blamed Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, for his inflammatory comments. Early last December, Mr Mashaba told a media conference that illegal immigrants got there criminally and should be treated as such. On Friday, he visited Rosettenville where he made claims that foreign nationals were using girls as young as nine as prostitutes in ‘drug houses’. “According to community members, these homes are illegally occupied by Nigerian foreign nationals who run the homes as brothels and have girls as young as nine years old working as prostitutes. Many of the women in these brothels are also alleged to have no official identification documentation,” said Mr Mashaba. Mr Gbaffou said it was reckless for the mayor to make such a statement without proof. “What proof does he have that foreigners are running these brothels? His remarks are very inflammatory, and it makes no difference that he has diverted from illegal immigrants to drug peddling. It is very dangerous and we see it as propaganda of hatred,” he said. A community leader, Mr Andile Tshem, called on residents to desist from violence, adding that it was high time law enforcement agents took action against criminals. “We don’t encourage this at all, you cannot correct a wrong with another wrong. South African people must not be living on the streets when foreigners are using houses as brothels,” he said. Police have arrested a man found in one of the houses that were set alight in Rosettenville. Some Nigerians in Johannesburg have take to twitters to express their anger. Arewa Youth Forum @ArewaYouthForum tweeted on Sunday, “Nigerians’ houses burnt in Johannesburg”

LeSudAfricaine: First of all, xenophobia is defined by the Merriam- Webster dictionary as fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign , with a definition like that I wonder how you can say that the word has lost its meaning and relevance. Secondly, you come from a country that has one if the highest rates if rape in the world yet you accuse Nigerians of affinity to crime, are you trying to sat there are no South African criminals out there. 1 Like |

JacksonD7:I know what the word "Xenophobia" means ,definition is unnecessary. Yes this word has lost meaning becuase you guys often use it out of context, you cannot break the law in foreign countries and when there are consequences you cry xenophobia. Did I say there were no criminals in SA? The fact is there are no south africans in nigeria running drug catels and prostitution rings , human and drug trafficking, fraud, fake pastoring, 619 etc but Nigerians commit these crimes worldwide, SA included , where do you think you appalling reputation comes from? The fact that SA has high rape incidents is irrelevant, are the any South african rapists I'm Nigeria? Thought so! 2 Likes |

JacksonD7:I never judged an entire nation. I simply pointed out that in my sojourn in Joburg, i witnessed the incontestable fact that alot of organized criminal networks (drugs, prostitution, online fraud etc) are controlled by Nigerians. The grapevine is quite a powerful opinion shaper, seeing it and confirming it is another. You wouldn't find other( African or not ) nationalities with such a highly disproportionate inclination towards criminal tendencies as your countrymen. Please, the story about your country's contribution to fighting apartheid is dwarfed by what Tanzania and Cuba did. Repeating this tired line over and over again never makes it true.

MtuMsuper: I am a Nigerian not a criminal, there are millions of Nigerians out there who are respectable honest citizens. If you can say that Nigerians are criminally inclined because you saw a couple crime rings runs by Nigerians in Jo'burg, then we can also conclude that all Italians are criminally inclined because the Italian Mafia exists. |
Re: South-africans Burn Houses Of Nigerians In Johannesburg by MtuMsuper: 6:51pm On Feb 15, 2017 |
JacksonD7:That is true. Most honest Nigerians abroad avoid the criminal minded ones. How sad that you have to be a foreigner and avoid one's own countrymen. Doesn't that also speak volumes about how you view one another and how most of the world views you(a reputation that precedes you). Wouldn't it be better to acknowledge and address the factors that cause criminality at home? |

MtuMsuper: Most people from most countries in the world do this. Why would any decent law-abiding citizen want to associate themselves with criminals? There's nothing sad about it; it's a normal occurrence. Nigeria has a bad reputation but it also has a good one. After all, we are some of the most talented and smartest people in the world. |
