“Keep Drug Dealers, Human Traffickers Out Of My Country” – S’African Minister Tells Nigeria [Video]

South Africa’s Minister of International Relation and Cooperation, Dr. Naledi Pandor, blamed drug dealers for xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and pleaded with the Federal Government of Nigeria to assist her country by preventing Nigerians dealing in narcotics, human trafficking and other vices from coming into South Africa.

Pandor, who spoke during an interview with South African TV station, eNCA, on the sidelines of the ongoing World Economic Forum on Africa on Thursday,  said there was a widely held belief that many Nigerians in South Africa dealt in drugs, adding that the Federal Government should help to address this issue. She said:

“Help us address the belief and the reality that our people have that there are many persons from Nigeria, who are dealing in drugs in our country, who are harming our young people by making drugs easily available to them.

“The belief that Nigerian nationals are involved in human trafficking and other abusive practices. This kind of assistance in ensuring that such people don’t come to our country would be of great assistance to our nation.”
