The South African Consul General in Nigeria, Sam Monaisa,
has announced that the South African Consulate in Nigeria will close operations
until Thursday.
The decision was made in response to a combination of
threats from social media and anti-xenophobia protests by Nigerians.
Monaisa wrote that, although the situation in South Africa
was calming down, he still had concerns about Nigerians especially those being
repatriated from South Africa.
He said that Nigerians on social media were blowing things
out of proportion and that the situation in Durban was calming down.
He also warned South Africans living abroad to be cautious
as South African businesses and citizens have become threats in retaliation of
the xenophobic attacks.
In Mozambique, Sasol Ltd., a Johannesburg based company has
announced that it will be repatriating their South African employees in the
country as a precaution.
