The President of the Nigerian Union in South Africa, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, said on Friday that xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals were on the increase.
Anyene told the News Agency of Nigeria on phone from Pretoria, South Africa, that the mechanic workshop of a Nigerian was completely destroyed early on Friday in Johannesburg.
“In the early hours of today (Friday), the mechanic workshop of a Nigerian, with 10 cars and all the tools inside, was destroyed by some South Africans.
“The build up to the attack started last night when the South Africans started gathering in the neighbourhood of the Nigerian.
“The Nigerians living there did not sleep and early today, the South Africans struck,’’ he said.
