A bond that must never be broken (2), By Femi Fani-Kayode

If there was no Afrophobia in South Africa as its Presidency would have us believe, then what informed the 30th June deadline for African nationals, including Nigerians, to leave the country, and why was the Federal Government constrained to fly no less than 1,500 of our nationals who had been living in mortal fear for their lives and camping in the grounds of the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria for safety, in six separate plane flights out of South Africa and back home over the last two months, at the cost of over $2 million!” These are unwise words that have been spoken against two fellow African nations that harbour no ill-will towards South Africa, and that have merely expressed their collective concerns about the welfare of their nationals in a nation where they are being subjected to hateful sentiments, vile persecution, and mortal danger.

If there was no Afrophobia in South Africa, why were 150,000 African nationals forced to flee for their lives and be repatriated to their respective countries by their respective governments over the last three months?
