On Tuesday, the Consul General of Nigeria to South Africa, Malik Abdul, paid a solidarity visit to Nigerians affected by the recent unrest in Gauteng province.

Mr Malik Abdul visited some of the business locations affected by the widespread rioting and looting spree at Jules Street in Johannesburg Central Business District.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that former President Jacob Zuma’s incarceration triggered widespread rioting and looting in parts of the country.

The Consul General sympathised with the victims who lost millions of Rand in the unrest and assured them that government is aware of their plight.

He informed them of relief measures recently outlined by the South African Government for businesses affected during the protests.
