Some Nigerians in South Africa have ran for their dear lives as angry South Africans invaded their houses and burnt it down.

Angry residents in Rosettenville, south of Johannesburg, have burnt
15 houses either belonging to or being rented by foreign nationals,
claiming immigrants had turned the neighbourhood into a drug haven, reports Africa Review.
Also, the South Africans destroyed and looted shops belonging to
foreign nationals in the area. According to the Angry South Africans,
they claim Nigerians had illegally taken over most properties and turned
them into drug and prostitution dens.
The African Diaspora Forum (ADM) chairperson, Mr Marc Gbaffou,
confirmed the attacks and blamed Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, for
his inflammatory comments.
Early last December, Mr Mashaba told a media conference that
illegal immigrants got there criminally and should be treated as such.
On Friday, he visited Rosettenville where he made claims that foreign
nationals were using girls as young as nine as prostitutes in 'drug
houses'.
“According to community members, these homes are illegally
occupied by Nigerian foreign nationals who run the homes as brothels and
have girls as young as nine years old working as prostitutes. Many of
the women in these brothels are also alleged to have no official
identification documentation,” said Mr Mashaba.
Mr Gbaffou said it was reckless for the mayor to make such a statement without proof.
“What proof does he have that foreigners are running these
brothels? His remarks are very inflammatory, and it makes no difference
that he has diverted from illegal immigrants to drug peddling. It is
very dangerous and we see it as propaganda of hatred,” he said.
However, a community leader, Mr Andile Tshem, called on residents
to desist from violence, adding that it was high time law enforcement
agents took action against criminals.
“We don't encourage this at all, you cannot correct a wrong
with another wrong. South African people must not be living on the
streets when foreigners are using houses as brothels,” he said.
Police have arrested a man found in one of the houses that were set
alight in Rosettenville. The suspect, who is expected to be charged
with arson and public violence, will appear in court on Monday.
