Considering the cost of businesses foreigners lost and its economic backdrop, the Neo Black Movement of Africa Worldwide , has condemned in its totality the disheartening and barbaric Xenophobic attacks by South African citizens on other African nationalities most especially Nigerians.The organisation noted that over the years, African countries stood by the South Africans dating back to the days of the apartheid regime in the country.
According to him, NBM as an Afrocentric, socio-cultural and non-governmental organisation was established on the basic tenets of social justice, equality, fairness and the total liberation of the black race from white supremacy and racial discrimination. He emphasised that the organization calls on the government of South Africa, the Nigerian government and other world powers to as a matter of urgency to rise up to their collective task and responsibility of protecting the lives, properties and investments of Nigerians as well as all persons living in any part of Africa.
He therefore calls on the African Union and all other regional bodies to rise up and address this ugly situation to prevent a reprisal that will forestall the escalation of the crisis.
