President Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday claimed killings of Nigerians in South Africa are not targeted while at a meeting with the President. The meeting bordered around improving the tense relationship between the two countries
He assured Nigerians that the South African Government is working on effective ways to curb the persistent criminal attacks on Nigerians based in South Africa. His statement:
“There have been a number of incidents in our country where foreign nationals, some of whom are Nigerians, have lost their lives and I would like to say here and now, that it has been as a result of criminal activity among our own people, which we are focusing on.”
The two held a two-hour meeting where among other matters, the safety and security of Nigerians and improvement of trade relations were discussed.
“We had a wonderful exchange and we both got a sense that we are opening a new page in the relationship between SA and Nigeria and this new page gives us an opportunity to go beyond where we have been before in a number of areas,” Ramaphosa disclosed after the meeting.
