It was clear to everyone. Nigerians bantered about it earlier on. You really have no idea what they have in stock for you. Nigeria will now go to international court on the death of their citizens. SA will look for help everywhere, but won’t find it.
The plan was always clear to those with eyes and a brain. Exploit genuine problems that already exist in South African society, amplify and accentuate them, and undermine the South African government by working with political parties, pressure groups, and traditional leaders opposed to the government.
Find more pliable South Africans willing to assist in that project, and use those who are unsuspecting.
When the inevitable violence occurs, turn around and accuse South Africa of xenophobia because it would have happened.
Then question its moral standing in relation to its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
Keep repeating the same question: How can a country that treats fellow Africans like this take Israel to the International Court of Justice?
After South Africa has been isolated from other African countries because of xenophobia, move into the next gear.
It then becomes much easier to make that argument because many African states will be reluctant to rally behind South Africa if xenophobic attacks continue.
That is why South Africa must confront xenophobia decisively; not only because it is morally wrong, but because it also weakens the country’s standing and influence across the African continent.
The more Israel keeps asking the same question. How can South Africa take us to the International Court of Justice when it treats fellow Africans like this?The more South Africa’s moral authority is challenged, particularly if it is unable to confront xenophobic violence effectively.
Unfortunately, there are already South Africans who are publicly supporting Israel because they conflate their opposition to the ANC with Israel’s opposition to the ANC, even though those positions are rooted in entirely different motivations.
In doing so, they risk advancing a narrative whose implications extend far beyond South Africa’s domestic politics.

SA loves lecturing on human rights, but its "Rainbow Nation" is bleeding from violent xenophobia.
Instead of taking responsibility, Justice Minister @MamolokoKubayi falls back on the oldest hate.
While openly admitting she has "no evidence," she desperately spins wild conspiracies to mask government panic over a repeat of 2021.
Shameful scapegoating. No accountability.

Nigeria accused the South African authorities of criminal liability in the death of three of its citizens, warning that it will mobilize regional and international action to ensure those responsible for violence against foreigners are held to account https://t.co/7QCINlJJr2
Not every mouth deserves the mic. If he was all that, he’ll be in HoR or Senate or somewhere trying to right the wrongs. A president that owns TV stations and a newspaper. Presidents that oversee finance, statistics, petroleum & in whose ears World Bank & IMF are buzzing…. Smdh
Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, co-founder of Flutterwave, reveals that the President of Nigeria doesn't know what is going on in the country.
He says President's reality is constructed.
He's in a motorcade driving so fast, so he can't see the surrounding, his phone is with an aide, and he doesn't read newspapers.
He has security briefings and that's all he knows.
Gbaja was the one who exposed the Prince Adeniyi scam.
Gbaja was the one who formally wrote to the police, requesting an investigation.
So how has the person who exposed the alleged fraud suddenly become the one expected to take the fall for it? That defies logic.
If Gbaja were truly involved in the scam, do you honestly believe he would sign documents that could be traced back to him and used as evidence?
