Africans shouldn\u2019t join our xenophobic South African brothers in lunacy, by Owei Lakemfa, <\/p>\n

South\u00a0Africa\u00a0 united\u00a0 Africa and the Black Race more than any other as we fought Apartheid, one of the most evil systems humans\u00a0 ever created.\u00a0 Apartheid was backed by some of the most powerful countries in the world such as the United States, United Kingdom and Israel which\u00a0 also practices an\u00a0 \u00a0Apartheid variant\u00a0 called Zionism.\u00a0 But, even as newly emergent countries from the other European evil, called colonialism, African nations\u00a0 were sure of victory.<\/p>\n

Emperor Haile Selassie\u00a0 on October 4, 1963 majestically stood before the United Nations General Assembly\u00a0 and told the world that: \u201c until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned\u2026that until the color of a man\u2019s skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race\u2026And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed\u2026until that day, the African continent will not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil.\u201d Africans\u00a0 fought side by side with our South African brothers and sisters. In Nigeria, citizens contributed money for the liberation movements including today\u2019s ruling African National Congress, ANC. We provided South Africans Nigerian passports and, scholarship to study in our universities. I went to the university with some of our South African and Zimbabwean brothers.<\/p>\n

As an African proverb says: \u201cWhen spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion\u201d We tied up Apartheid and their powerful supporters\u00a0 and overcame them. Tragically today, some African countries are uniting, not to further African unity, but to fight\u00a0 South Africa for xenophobic attacks on other Africans. Our South African brothers and sisters claim other Africans are taking their jobs. This is clearly delusional as the \u2018jobs\u2019 are actually not those South Africans want to do or have skills to do. How does a fellow African hawking sweets\u00a0 or second hand clothes translate to taking jobs? Ironically, the actual jobs taken are by Whites who in the first place, never relinquished them after Apartheid. Most serious is the fact that whereas the basic reason for the liberation war was for the Black people to retake their lands and economy. Both remain in the hands of the White population and, the response of the South African population is not to challenge this, but to continue hero worshipping their former oppressors while attacking their hapless fellow Africans.<\/p>\n

The reaction of some African countries has been swift.\u00a0 For\u00a0 instance, on May 6, 2026, President Duma Boko of Botswana is reported to have declared a state of emergency and pronounced\u00a0 drastic measures against South Africa. These include\u00a0 cutting electricity supply\u00a0 to several provinces in South Africa, closure of its borders and the immediate return of all its citizens currently residing in South Africa. He told South Africans \u201cWe helped you fight oppression, and today our children are being humiliated\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tanzania, another Frontline State in the war against Apartheid\u00a0 reportedly threatened to deport South Africans and\u00a0 order the\u00a0 \u00a0suspension of all air and maritime trade between both countries. Nigeria had summoned the South African High Commissioner while angry parliamentarians decided to urgently engage their South African counterparts. There were also calls that South African businesses in Nigeria such as the\u00a0 telecom giant\u00a0 MTN and, pay television,\u00a0 DStv,\u00a0 should be closed down and diplomatic relations, reviewed. Other African countries reacting angrily to the xenophobic attacks include Ghana, Mozambique and Kenya while the Economic Community of West African States,\u00a0 ECOWAS Parliament\u00a0 directed its\u00a0 Political Affairs Committee to intervene in the matter. The African Union, AU and United Nations have also waded into the crises urging restrain. It is quite necessary for Africans to intervene in a constructive manner as South Africa which has failed to meet the basic needs of its people\u00a0 in the post-Apartheid period, need to be pitied.<\/p>\n

I agree that the Cyril Ramaphosa leadership has not been fort right as it hides behinds talks of the need for foreigners to have proper documentation and be law abiding. First, the mobs roaming Kwazulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape Province are not asking for papers before attacking alleged migrants. Secondly, those being attacked were not being lawless when the mobs set on them.\u00a0 Whatever reaction\u00a0 we take, must also put into consideration the fact that majority South Africans, like our very dear\u00a0 brother,\u00a0 Julius Malema\u00a0 does not support the madness on the streets. Apart from the failure of the South African government to meet the basic needs of the people and therefore, may find the attacks, a welcome diversion, there is the high possibility\u00a0 that what we might be witnessing is the mob being used to act out a script.\u00a0 \u00a0South Africa is perhaps the strongest economy in Africa, the most courageous in seeking to bring the war criminals in Israel to justice and, unapologetically in the forefront\u00a0 of the fight for a new international economic order.\u00a0 So, if there is a convergence of African countries against South Africa, it will gladden the hearts of those who want the present rotten international\u00a0 order to continue.<\/p>\n

As we all know, the socio-economic liberation of Africa depends on the integration of the continent. So, we must unite rather than splinter.\u00a0 I am not opposed to the use of pressure and diplomatic actions against South Africa, but it should not be disruptive. In other words, we\u00a0 should handle South Africa in the corrective way parents handle\u00a0 their children. Unfortunately for us, we do not have perceptive\u00a0 \u00a0 African leaders with\u00a0 moral authority who can call erring leaders to order. I am talking about people like Kwame Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela. Nigerian\u00a0 President\u00a0 Bola Tinubu is visiting\u00a0 France,\u00a0 \u00a0Kenya and Rwanda.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Can you imagine the effect he would have were he to also land in South Africa to discuss with President Ramaphosa on\u00a0 ending the xenophobic attacks? That is what Nelson Mandela would have done. Even former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo\u00a0 is capable of such decisive action.\u00a0 I recall\u00a0 the July 16, 2003 coup against President Fradique de Menezes of Sao Tome while he was\u00a0 on a state visit to Nigeria. Obasanjo would have none of it. He rejected the coup, mobilized regional leaders to apply pressure,\u00a0 and offered the coup plotters led by\u00a0 Major Fernado Pereira, amnesty.\u00a0 On July 23, 2003, Obasanjo took the elected President back to Sao Tome to resume duties.\u00a0 President Tinubu in\u00a0 taking a decisive diplomatic step\u00a0 by flying to Pretoria will not be taking risks, compared to that taken by Obasanjo.<\/p>\n
