South Africa must compensate victims, punish perpetrators –Basiru, Senate committee chairman XenophobiaInSouthAfrica SundayThoughts
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Diaspora, Non-Governmental Organisations and Civil Society Organisations, Senator Ajibola Basiru, speaks toon incessant attacks on Nigerians and other foreigners in South Africa among other sundry issuesThe act is condemnable like most people have said and it is a concern to us that there is a breakdown of law and order in South Africa.
I don’t believe this and I know that it will be irresponsible of any government to set its citizens against the citizens of other countries. I know that cannot be their policy but what is apparent is that there is a failure on the part of the South African government to fulfil its obligations of maintaining law and order in its society. What is of concern is that it appears the insecurity in South Africa is also symptomatic of the xenophobic attack.
Will you say the actions taken by the Nigerian government against the attacks on its nationals not coming too late? There is this belief that Nigerians troop abroad because our economy is in a bad shape. Do you think this is the reason?
