The evacuation exercise of Nigerians in South Africa may take more than one flight as the number of Nigerians indicating interest to return home is on the increase, it has been learnt.
Though calm has returned after the Sunday night renewed attacks on foreign national businesses in Johannesburg, President Nigeria Citizens Association South Africa , Prince Ben Okoli, said all efforts were geared toward the airlift of the first batch of Nigerian back home. This, he said, was as result of the number of people who have shown interest to return to Nigeria as a result of the incessant attacks on Nigerians and their businesses by the South Africans.
Throwing light on the Sunday renewed attacks, Okoli explained that there was calm until Sunday evening when the Prince of Zulu Land, and former Minister for Home Affairs, Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi addressed a huge crowed of Zulu citizens on the need to stop xenophobic attacks as it portrays the country in bad light.
