#XENOPHOBIA: S’Africa sends 3 envoys each to Nigeria, 6 other African countries

The government of South Africa led by Cyril Ramaphosa has sent three special envoys each to seven African countries to deliver messages of pan-African unity and solidarity following xenophobic attacks in the former apartheid enclave.

Presidential spokesperson, Khusela Diko, who confirmed the development on Sunday, said the special envoys would reassure fellow African countries that South Africa was committed to the ideals of pan-African unity and solidarity.

According to Diko, the envoys would also reaffirm South Africa’s commitment to the rule of law.
