The South African police have openly promised that they would be ensuring the actual safety of all Nigerians who are residing in South Africa after following the latest round of mob attacks that have led to the death of a Nigerian in the country.
The police had given this assurance when the leadership of the Nigeria Union South Africa (NUSA), which had been led by its President, Mr Collins Mgbo, met stakeholders at Kimberley district in Northern Cape, South Africa, where a Nigerian died, following a mob attack.

Mgbo said in a statement from Pretoria on Sunday that the meeting was attended by Brig. Rikhostso, Head of Kimberley Police Cluster, representatives of religious organisations, the host community and the South African widow of late Mr Nicholas John.
John’s widow was identified as Ms. Caroline Chikoma, who is currently nursing a four-month-old baby.
Mgbo said that the purpose of the meeting was to appeal to the police to make sure that justice was served in the tragic assault on John and for his killers to be brought to book.
“Secondly, the meeting was able to establish a structure or team, comprising the police, Nigerians, churches and other migrant community organisations.
“The responsibility of this group is to make sure that information is sent across to the police whenever there is a crisis so that the police can handle the matter quickly before it gets out of control.
The NUSA president advised Nigerians in Kimberly to go about their business and to make sure that they stayed away from illegal activities.
