The senate has called off its proposed visit to the South African parliament to discuss ways of ending the spate of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other African Nationals in the country.
"For Africa and South Africa, the pursuit of togetherness, care, warm reception towards and hospitality to others are some of the enduring attributes and essence of the Ubuntu spirit. It is unacceptable that foreigners, migrants, refugees and Asylum Seekers are labeled criminals as a justification to subject them to extra-judicial actions.
The Senate resolved to among other things lead a delegation of Nigerian Legislators to the South African parliament to address the issue of Xenophobia.
