South Africa Presudent, Cyril Ramaphosa, has told former President of
Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, that no Nigerian was killed in the latest
xenophobic attacks in the country.
The ex-President of Nigeria, who was in South Africa to launch a book
he co-authored, met Ramaphosa and discussed the xenophobic attacks and
other issues affecting the two countries.
Khusela Diko, the Spokesperson for Ramaphosa, disclosed in a
statement on Thursday that the two leaders also used the opportunity to
reflect on recent events in Africa.
Diko said, “The leaders engaged on misconceptions created about the
situation in South Africa that gave the impression that Nigerian
nationals in particular had been victimised.
“No loss of life was reported among Nigerian nationals in South Africa during this period.
“Former President Obasanjo expressed his sincere appreciation of
President Ramaphosa’s recent appointment of a team of Special Envoys who
have in the past few days visited a number of African states to deliver
a message from the President regarding the incidents of violence.”
