Lady leaves South Africa after 20 years
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady who lived in South Africa for 20 years had returned to her home country.
This came amid the xenophobic attacks in South Africa, a crisis that threatens South Africa’s relationships with other nations on the continent.
Legit.ng reported that recent intimidations in South Africa are not the first against immigrants in the Rainbow Nation. Episodes of xenophobic violence, often directed primarily at nationals from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, and other African countries, have been reported throughout the post-apartheid period, with severe outbreaks recorded in 2008, 2015, and 2019.
