Ramaphosa’s special envoy to Nigeria has tendered an apology to the Nigerian government over the xenophobic attacks that targeted Nigerians and and some other Africans recently.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday met behind closed doors with the envoy, Mr Jeff Radebe, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Radebe was a former ambassador to Nigeria.
The Special Envoy, who was accompanied by South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Bobby J. Moroe, arrived the State House at about 2.15p.m, and moved straight to the president’s office.
President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa had last week decided to dispatch the Special Envoys to Nigeria and six other African countries mostly affected by the xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals including Nigerians in his country.
A statement released by South African government spokesman, Khusela Diko, at the weekend, said: “The special envoys will deliver a message from President Ramaphosa regarding the incidents of violence that recently erupted in some partsof South Africa, which have manifested in attacks on foreign nationals and destruction of property.’’
