"Nigerian lives and businesses in SA must not continue to be put at risk. Two Nigerians were killed in incidents connected to South African security personnel last month."
"There have been a series of protests led by groups claiming that irregular migration is hurting the country's economy. A number of violent attacks have also been reported, mostly targeting Black Africans from other countries."
"Experts have warned that immigrants are merely being scapegoated for South Africa's economic woes, and that the anti-migrant fervor is being driven by populist pundits online."
"We reflected on the challenges posed by irregular migration and committed to working to address the root causes, find common and sustainable solutions to this shared concern."
Nigeria's Foreign Minister announced a voluntary repatriation program for citizens in South Africa amid increasing xenophobic incidents. Following the deaths of two Nigerians linked to South African security forces, 130 individuals have registered to return home. The rise in anti-immigrant sentiment in South Africa has led to protests and violence against immigrants, particularly Black Africans. Experts suggest that immigrants are being unfairly blamed for economic issues. South Africa's Foreign Minister acknowledged the challenges of irregular migration and expressed a commitment to finding sustainable solutions.
