In my travelogue, I’ve only been to South Africa once (2015). During that visit, I vowed never to return to that country, except for a guided visit. South Africans seem to see their fellow Africans as sub-humans.
In February 2016, I published an investigative report exposing the inhuman treatment of other African nationals applying for stay permits by South African officials and their citizens.
This made the South African High Commission in Lagos invite me for a ‘friendly’ discussion where they made attempt to discredit the story; but I showed their official video evidence.
In response, their Home Office announced a sweeping overhaul of the guidelines for the application for stay permits, making the process even more stringent. This only had little effect. Permit seekers never stopped applying, and the abuse continued, given native South Africans reason to violently abuse immigrants.
Over the last decade, the trend has grown from bad to worse. South Africa has consistently projected stories of unbridled savagery and violence to the continent. This troubling video perfectly captures the rampant violence faced by foreign black nationals on the streets of Mzansi 💔💔
