A Nigerian man has been confirmed dead in the latest wave of Xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals living and working in South Africa.

The family of the deceased have been informed of the death of their relative.

The acclaimed Operation Dudula which literally means ‘Drive Back’ is aimed at forcing the South African government to declare the ‘illegal’ immigrants unqualified to work in South Africa albeit most of the jobless protesters are mostly unskilled for the same jobs they want to wrestle back.

The attacks mostly took place at the Methodist migrant community in the Soweto township where about 100 migrant families live with the attackers shouting: “Foreigners go home.”

There were also violent protests in the Hillbrow area near Cape Town where about 2,000 South African youths turned up with dangerous objects.

The Nigerian government through its foreign ministry are yet to react to the latest mindless attacks on Nigerians.
