african media: South African officials are appealing to people to refrain from remarks that could incite violence, according to Metro News. South African media say homes belonging to Nigerians were recently set on fire in neighbourhoods of Johannesburg and Pretoria, the capital. Security officials said Wednesday that threatening posts, made by South Africans and immigrants against each other, have escalated. Shops run by Somalis and Pakistanis were also looted. In 2015, anti-immigrant riots in and around the South Africa city of Durban killed at least six people. Nigeria has urged the South African government to protect Nigerians and other African nationals currently in South Africa.
