Xenophobia: South Africa proposes cultural exchange programme with Nigerian youth groups
Bobby Moroe, Acting High Commissioner of South Africa to Nigeria, on Wednesday in Abuja, held a meeting with some Nigerian youth groups and proposed cultural exchange programmes between the two countries.
According to him, this is to encourage exchange of ideas and views to promote relations between the two countries from the prism of youth leaders and come up with progressive recommendations. “It is important that we take advantage of the dialogue that we have had today to rebuild the much needed social engagement.“It is important to educate the youth of South Africa and Nigeria to understand the history of cordiality shared between both countries and by such means there can be appreciation”.
He said that solution to the crisis should not just be left for governments of both countries alone, but urged youths to key into platforms for engagement in discussions to chat way forward. NAN reports that the date and duration of the proposed programme is yet to be decided by the high commission and the youth based organisations.
