The Nigerian consulate in South Africa has released hotlines in case of emergencies in the wake of Xenophobic attacks against Nigerians living in South Africa.
Several stores were looted in the morning and there have been sporadic attacks against both locals and foreign nationals.
Police have been deployed in key cities preventing clashes between locals and foreigners and President Jacob Zuma and other senior politicians have called for calm and the county’s Home Affairs minister is due to meet with officials from the African Union.
And according to Social Commentator, Daniel Akinlami, the situation in South Africa is an offshoot of what is happening globally.
