South African govt expresses anger over Nigerian govts recall of her ambassadors

South African government has released a statement expressing their displeasure over Nigerian government's decision to recall her envoys following Xenophobic attacks in SA. In a statement released by the South African government's Department of International Relations and Co-operations, SA government described the decision as an unfortunate and regrettable step, adding that only Nigeria has taken such a decision since the xenophobic attacks began. 
 
According to the statement, the South African government did not blame Nigeria when 84 of her citizens died in the Synagogue  Church of All Nations building collapse some months back. (how is it the same thing?) Find the statement released after the cut...

The South African Government takes note that the outgoing Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has recalled its Acting High Commissioner to South Africa. A government resorts to such an extraordinary diplomatic step to express outrage at actions or Behavior of another government.

We are not sure which actions or behavior of the South African Government the Nigerian Government is protesting. It is only Nigeria that has taken this unfortunate and regrettable step.  If this action is based on the incidents of attacks on foreign nationals in some parts of our country, it would be curious for a sisterly country to want to exploit such a painful episode for whatever agenda.

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has just returned from Indonesia to attend the Africa-Asia Summit and the 60th Anniversary of the historic Bandung Conference.  At no stage did the Nigerian delegation present at that gathering, expressed its intention to formally raise the issue with the South African side.
South Africa remains committed to a strong bond of friendship and bilateral relations with Nigeria.  It is for this reason that when 84 of our citizens perished on Nigerian soil, we did not blame the Nigerian Government for the deaths and more than nine (9) months delay in the repatriation of the bodies of our fallen compatriots, or for the fact that when these bodies eventually returned, they were in a state that they could not be touched or viewed as required by our burial practice.
We will raise our concerns through diplomatic channels with the new administration that will assume office in Nigeria next month.

The South African Government, as well as all political parties, religious organisations, non-governmental organisations, business, sports fraternities, including artists, musicians  and ordinary people of South Africa, have been decisive and unequivocal in condemning and rejecting the attacks on foreign nationals.

Through our interventions, relative calm and order has been restored. We are encouraged by the solidarity our country continues to receive from other African countries and the international community. We shall also continue to support and not blame the Nigerian Government as it battles to deal with Boko Haram that continues to kill many innocent civilians. We hope that the more than 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram will someday be reunited with their families.

"the South African government did not blame Nigeria when 84 of her citizens died in the Synagogue Church of All Nations building collapse some months back."

Can you imagine, what insolence. Hey! Nigeria has tolerated so many rubbish of recent. And what's is the relationship between what is happening in South Africa and Boko haram,attacks in Nigeria, so much pun intended in that statement credited to them.
And the most annoying part is the manner they dismissed the incumbent administration, then looking forward to working with the incoming administration. Who told them Buhari would tolerate this kinda rubbish from them.
Anyway we've become a laughing stock to them, when they still have the purported money meant for the purchase of arms.

Grace n Truth said...

Look at SA government that has been severely damaged by this xenophobia lacing its statement with insult. Boko Haram and all the other issues mentioned have no comparison with the xenophobia which is hatred for people based only on their nationality. Anyway let SA not swallow its Pride let it keep talking. Nigeria is to SA what China is to US. The population and market size that Nigeria has is what SA businesses are salivating over. There is currently almost zero growth in SA and rather than tackle that it is choosing to pick a fight with Nigeria. Most African countries have had enough of SA's arrogance and brutality so from Malawi to Angola to Zambia to Zimbabwe to Ghana SA is a country that is isolating itself more and more and when their oppressors start they will probably find no Aftican 'brothers' to help them. Ingrates. The current SA government is such a shame. The golden era of SA that is the time of the Mandelas is only a memory now. Shame.

South African international relations so childish how does am unplanned tragedy equal to a xenophobic attack

Whitefalcon said...

Like seriously, this South Africa govt needs some lecture.
How does a collapse building of a church got to do with the deliberate taking away the lives of foreign immigrants simply because they found themselves in a foreign land?

I really don't know why the Federal Government of Nigeria is being too slow in dragging these criminals to International Criminal Court of Justice so that they will face the full wrath of the law.

What the fools in South Africa did, is purely man's inhumanity to man. They should pay severely for it. This is not the first time South African is experiencing a wave of violence as a result of xenophobia. Similar occurrence took place in May 2008, and they got away with it.
If this case is dismissed with a wave of hand, am afraid it will become a norm for the South Africans.

Wow. This response is filled with shade. 1. Boko Haram/chibok girls . 2. Synagogue incident 3. Outgoing government off u go. They basically said you have issues and we hope you deal with it. Whoever wrote this is xenophobic and should be called to order. They did not condemn the attacks the minute it started. What in the world is this?!!!

Oops!MISSILES THROWN AT THE FG of NIGERIA re:chibok and bh.

Now back to matters.As I said before when we recalled our envoys,that's not a good,political decision.What was the,point of asking a few people back?If this was going to be done,the FG should also have sanctioned or closed all SA businesses on its lands.They should also have made moves to evacuate its people.

As usual,we acted without thinking deep.Now we are going start scrambling around to save face.I can bet our government will come up with a story like they didn't recall them that they just asked them to come for a meeting.

Our responses to pressing issues leaves much to be desired.I guess no one is really working anymore.maybe they figure they aren't coming back so what's the point right?PHCN or whatever they are called now are MIA even in highbrow areas.its well.

What a very insolent and insulting letter!!! Are these people for real??? Their people that died in the synagogue accident?? Where is the comparison??? An unforseen accident where thevwhole of Nigeria mourned the dead and the deliberate slaughter and torture of men women and chilren??? Boko Haram? Chibok girls??? Insult upon insult. Those are purely domestic challenges that they have no business with. What have those got to do with the attacks and the various videos all over the internet by South Africans from all walks of life promising worse? And saying that they have not even started? This only goes to show how arrogant and superior these people are. So we should wait for other countries tonact first then we follow??? South Africa please wake up!! The tide has turned. We are now the leaders in Africa. While you were hating and lazing and drinking yourselves into a stupor, we have overtaken you in every way. Any development or good thing you ever had is in gentle decay andvdecline because it was all done by the whites. These whites are now so sick of you that rhey are busy emigrating to The Uk and Australia. You are a sinking ship. Nigerians by nature are adventurous and love travelling. That is why they ate in your nast country. There are so many better places Zi would chose to go. The worst part of you is your hateful, ugly and ungrateful spirit. Yountruelybare the worst of the continent. Thats why the whites saw that you needed to be taught a hard lesson all those many years ago. Nigeriand will show you Chapter 2 of the same. Shame on you. Imagine, younare angry because the envoy was recalled???? Were you angry enough to swiftly and forcefully stop the attacks long before families were thrown into undeserved mourning and anguish?? Who the bloody hell do you think you are stinking drunks.

I shouldn't take this as a news rather an article with a high speculations of the writer who wishes to be in a front line assuming matters swings the other branch. South African can not play national politics with Nigeria because we would calmly outsmart them in any sort of trick they come with. What's the relative excuses connecting xenophobia,synagogue (faith),book haram and chiboc girls? Its obvious that Zuma planned and executed his plans but nemesis will catch up with him.

Anonymous said...

Very typical of South Africans to point fingers and try to distract people from their problem. Instead of dealing with their useless AFRO-PHOBIA, they are pointing fingers bringing in Boko Haram and synagogue incidents. Shameless unrepentant/ unapologetic bastards in South Africa. So what the idiots are saying is because Boko Haram is killing people in Nigeria, Nigerians should fold hands and watch while South Africans slaughter them to bits too? These people are too useless. Apparently, no one has common sense there, from head to toe...

Abeg those South Africans should park well. How can they compare the synagogue church collapse with the xenophobic attacks?

Anonymous said...

In as much as I hate commenting on matters relating to the Xenophobia,I am forced to do so now. Firstly,it is quite unfortunate that SA lost 84 of her citizens on Nigeria soil,but the situation can best be described as a mishap or an accident. Its occurrence never posed threat whatsoever to the lives of other SAs living in our country and if there was a chance for the deceased to save their lives by themselves or by their govt,am pretty sure that they would ve done so. Nevertheless,the ongoing attack on foreigners in SA has lingered and any well meaning govt will do something that will ensure or promote the safety of her citizens. It is therefore paramount to say that the xenophobic attack is a threat to foreigners in SA and we would not fold our hands and count our deads till they reach 84.. I conclude by saying that an accident is an accident, and an attack is an attack.. Long live AFRICA!

There is no sense in this statement from SA Government. If their government didn't deem it necessary to denounce and curb the xenophobic acts from its citizens then they have no right to be angry if other countries extract their officials from such a state. fight against Boko haram is a war against terrorism-with whom posses sophisticated weapons and intelligence not a mere negligence of a riot. Synagogue tragedy can be categorized as a natural disaster. So SA Govt think before you speak/write next time.

They are fools. Did we send them to go to sinagore church for miracle? No be them dey look for miracle up and down? They are so dumb. I wonder the kind of unintelligent people that they put in their government. The Sinagore one was an unforseen circumstance because we did not deliberately tell the building to collapse. But Xenophobia is a deliberate attempt. Afterall, most South Africans have been receiving miracles from Sinagore. The fact that the building collapsed is natural disaster and not deliberate disaster. Xenophobia is deliberate. There is nothing wrong with recalling the ambassadors for security reasons and safety. If they kill our ambassadors, na only sorry them to talk. The write up is more of pointing accusing fingers instead of sympathising. How can SA say no African country has reacted? So it is only Nigerians that have reacted? How dumb! What of Malawi that shut down shoprite? What of Israel that refused SA officials visas? What about Mozambique that refused SA trucks entry into Mozambique? What about Zambia that boycutted buying things from SA shops in Zambia or patronising SA companies in Zambia. Some of them threw away their MTN sim cards and started using other networks.

No Nigerian life was lost, attacks on foreigners is bad. But the press in Nigeria should not heat up the system. Things are normal now in SA.

Their lazy ass sex humping, violent stricken, aids ridden men that have been rejected by their women who are now rushing for all the available Nigerian men. I advise Nigerian men to shine their eyes and just continue using the women for papers and dump their ass when they are done.Because very soon, they will turn againt them and present them as a sacrifice.

South Africa face your front ooo and cure your xenophobia. Dont forget to tell your women to leave our tall, dark, handsome men and continue breeding violent thugs with their short, lazy and diseased assed dudes.

Kulikuli said...

I have to admit that SA was quite understanding with the case of the collapsed church building. But then it was an accident. However, why Nigerians feel raw about the xenophobia in SA is that this is one country that keeps taking without giving. They have never shown gratitude in any form about Nigeria's sacrifice in the resolution of Apartheid. Then the unfair trade imbalance; MTN, DSTV, Shoprite etc are swarming all over us but Nigerians are never allowed to do much in SA, except as employees. Imagine that female minister demanding that we reveal our trade secret to their people! Even if she meant it as a joke, it was not funny, it was insensitive, it was caustic salt on a raw injury.

I have to admit that SA was quite understanding with the case of the collapsed church building. But then it was an accident. However, why Nigerians feel raw about the xenophobia in SA is that this is one country that keeps taking without giving.

Has Nigeria driven MTN, DSTV Multichoice, Shoprite and all SA companies from Nigeria? Have we killed any SA in Nigeria? So why are they complaining that we recalled our ambassadors. We recalled they for their safety. They government is only protecting its ambassadors so that they dont get killed. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. SA has never helped Nigeria to fight boko haram. Boko Haram never killed any foreign citizen. Why didnt SA respond to Zambia, Mozambique and Malawi that has reacted? Why are they responding to Nigeria that has only tried to protect its ambassadors from Xenophobia. It shows they have always had hate in their hearts against Nigerians. Who is now causing media heat? SA or Nigeria???

Question : Why did they not attack the men that kept Mandela hostage for centuries!!
They still have slave mentality.

Why attack fellow survivors?

Mandela will be spitting at them now!

Free Mandela? Is Mandela really free now??? Or the cycle continues.

#AfricanUnion my #A....

They are waiting for Obama to have an opinion before they wake up.

Slave mentality! The whole of SA need therapy or reeducation on history!

It appears as if these South Africans do not have good sense of communication, the same way the whole crisis started by careless and uncultured utterances credited to Zulu king. Imagine, it took the government of South Africa almost three weeks and intervention of the whole world before it could bring the situation under control. Nigeria simply asked her ambassadors to come and give explanation and you are here spitting nonsense while the same government has not altered a word with respect to Israelis action to their minister. You see their people actually spit what their government does.So arrogant.

Maybe their next target is our ambassadors and we messed up their next hit.

What they have been doing in secret has now been exposed by a careless public statement by the local leader and the power of technology and social media exposed it.

This response from the SA government is a clear indication they are all speaking the same language.

Nigerians pls walk, so you don't disappear and we can't trace you.

I wonder what Oprah has to say about her investments on their children's education as they now enjoy killing other Africans.


Just foolishness!!!

Very soon they will know the difference btw June and July. Gen. Buhari can not and will not take this nonsense.
Is this the way a responsible govt reacts to issues of hatred and killing of innocent lives and the destruction of properties
We have always tolerated their excesses and I think it is high time we took a stand on such.
Personally have stopped recharging my MTN line and moved to glo. SA shld go to hell for all I care.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Really? You both must have your brains up your asses. How can you even compare handling of xenophobia to the handling of insurgency? Comparing xenophobia to insurgency, is like comparing a street fight to a full blown war. How do you negotiate with a government who did even condemn the actions of her citizens? Nigeria has a responsibility to not just her citizens, but to the rest of Africa. South Africa has to know that attacking fellow Africans is unacceptable.

I do not blame SA govt, all i can say is that they have lost dignity and respect among other black nations and the world at large .

How does building collapse relate to intentionally killing of foreign black nationals? is it only blacks that are foreigners in SA what about the so called whites ? did they attack them ? hmmm imagine blacks brutally killing their own brothers because of hatred and associating it with building collapse and terrorism.

So USA govt should now be blamed for Sept 11 or Japan govt should be blamed for the tsunami or Nepal people should be blamed for the earthquake that claimed people lives including foreigners.

SA should apologize to us for this stupid statement its insulting to our govt and the entire people of Nigeria.

Is high time our rich people invest in cable network toi break the monopoly DSTV enjoys on sport so there will be competition if we have our own indigenous cable that show Premiership and champions league we will boycott them for good.

MTN, SHOPRITE, GAME, PEP, MR PRICE, DSTV and the rest make billions of naira yearly in profit that they can not make in SA in 5 years yet we did not see them as the reason for local business not succeed yet we still patronize them. so Zulus why do you think your inability to to succeed is caused by others who work hard to earn honest living in SA. Shame on Zulu King, Zuma and the entire participant of this ugly Xenophobia acts

Is this letter seriously from the South African government, this was not an official letter but something deeply personal. It was written to spite President Goodluck Jonathan. But in doing so they've insulted over 170m Nigerians. Nigeria should take the lead and end these xenophobic attacks for good. I suggest the Nigerian govt call for an international emergency summit to address these attacks while summoning the South African Govt. If South Africa refuses to respond - shut down their businesses.

With this foul press release, I now support the closure of MTN and DSTV. I was thinking that we should follow SA maturely, but what an insolence from their envoy. Recall of our envoy does not warrant such vituperous reference to our problems by SA

Anonymous said...

Lol! True. But they are right to be laughing at us. Jonathan is incompetent wt bad advisers. He should have had a meeting wt d SA ambassador in Nigeria first, made demands or requested explanation from SA govt, gotten a response. If response was antagonistic n not expressing any remorse or apologies, then he would have taken action.

U dont just remove ambassadors. In diplomacy dt is a very strong sttmnt. If dt was d case, d USA wld have recalled ambassadors in all arab countries where citizens protest them n burn their embassies.

Jonathans whole presidency has bn amateur hour. Very unprofessional. Ecspecially on foreign issues. His spat wt morocco recently & wt chad concerning movt of troops. Shameful.

Whoever wrote this piece of shit is fired with immediate effect! What rubbish! Biko tell this dumb fellow that it is 'Xenophobia' not 'attack on foreign nationals'. That's a mere/mild baptismal name. Also, we took note of the insult about the Boko Haram and Chibok girls wahala. We shall respond in due time. Arrant nonsense!

Obasanjo was right when he said african leaders are glad to see Jonathan go. Lets face facts. he knew nothing abt governing n policy when he came in. Surrounded himself wt sentimental pple. And has very bad social skills which is so important when ur dealing wt world leaders. He wld have learnt this if he had a prior business or sthn. U dialogue & must have a very good excuse b4 throwing tantrums. Also think of how u might/might not need dt country in d future or how they cld affect ur influence. Stupid fellow.

Tenk u. And despite what has bn reported here d SA govt has bn denouncing d attack on CNN & other channels. Even did a rally. Spoke to d king. Dt may not be d general consensus among d SA pple since some of them support xenophobia but d govt has bn sending in police n trying to curb it since it started. Maybe Jonathan has bn getting his news from lindaikeji & he doesnt know what recalling ambassadors signify diplomatically. SMH. Disgracing us up n down.

Our response to SA xenophobia shld have bn personal, direct n nonviolent. They wld just wake up n realize they dont have SA's living in Nigeria anymore whille our govt smiles wt them n everyone smells like roses. Dumb Jonathan. Now he has to buy weapons from elsewhere. Ode.

South Africans should wake up their ancestors from the grave and ask them how Nigeria helped them during aparthied so that their ancestors can educate them. Do you know that SA refugees in Nigeria during aparthied were schooling free of charge as directed by the then Nigeria president? Nigerian president was one of those that strongly faught for the release of Mandela. I am sure Mandela will be twisting and turning in his grave now after hearing all that SA is doing to foreigners that faught for them. How can u tell your black African brothers that helped you during aparthied to leave your country and then you leave the white mean that faught you during aparthied to stay. How senseless and stupid can they be. SA president stayed in Nigeria on exile for years during aparthied. Nobody killed him. They are so unintelligent and stupid. Ghosh!

See the way he unintelligently mentioned all the problems in Nigeria as if they dont have problems too. What happened in sinagogue church was a natural disaster but Xenophobia is not natural. It is deliberate. How foolish! They got miracles and healing from this same church that collapsed. When they were getting their miracles from the church, why didnt they complain then. Why now complaining after the building has collapsed naturally? How can you compare a natural occurrence to a deliberate killing. How dumb can you be?? I am yet to come across an intelligent South African. They are so dumb!
