For two weeks, the walkway of the Waldorf Arcade has housed rows of makeshift bedding, screaming children and exhausted refugees begging the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to remove them from South Africa, GroundUp reported.

"They are killing us, burning us alive, looting our shops," said Eke Lyke Chibuzor, a refugee from Nigeria, who has been in South Africa for the past six years. "Sometimes I feel like I'm a slave in this country. Our blood does not want to be spilled in the land of South Africa."

The UNHCR released a statement on October 9, when the protest started, stating: "We acknowledge the issues they raised, including employment and self-reliance, documentation, and personal security concerns. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is working closely with the South African authorities to continue providing protection through the issuance of appropriate identity documentation, to facilitate access to health care, education and employment opportunities for all refugees and asylum seekers."

Go back to Nigeria than. You are a refugee which means you fled you're own country for a reason to come milk from us.

I heard an interview with one of their reps and he was saying they're asking to be sent to Europe, US or Canada. How nice for them.
I'd also like too be sent to Europe, Canada or US.

I love it. Slavery did just that. And now? Australia is also white. I bet they won't mind been sent there either.
That means Mugabe was wrong when he received a standing ovation for saying: "Better rule our selves to hell than be ruled by others to heaven".
This begs the question: What exactly is wrong with Africa all over? #SoSad

Not only is racism rife but hate of anything not black South African is rife aswell.
Black on black racism and discrimination is an embarrassing subject! Blacks can not be racist. The question is: How bad has South Africa become when even the Nigerians are running away? #LiveWithIt
