Xenophobia: NANS factions quarrel over free trip to South Africa XenophobiaInSouthAfrica Nigerians Nigeria
Two factions of the National Association of Nigerian Students almost came to blows at the premises of the South African High Commission in Abuja, on Wednesday, over offers of a free trip to South Africa.
The acting South African High Commissioner, Bobby Moroe, had invited a faction of NANS for a meeting where the idea of cultural tourism was mooted. But while the meeting was about coming to an end, another NANS faction which claimed to be the authentic student body invited by the High Commissioner arrived at the mission.Tempers flared as the two groups engaged in a war of words which nearly degenerated into a brawl, but it was quickly brought under control by embassy officials.
UGRP Executive Director, Shalom Olaseni, in a statement in Abuja, said the SA government had not exhibited the necessary political will to address the violence against foreign nationals.
