The most recent Xenophobia attacks in South Africa reportedly started after a drug dealer who was not properly identified and accused to be a Nigerian man killed a South African Taxi driver who stopped him from selling drugs to a minor.
A similar incident has just occurred in South Africa; A man identified as Michael Brits, popularly known as MIKE violently attacked his female friend, putting her in a bad shape inside Sandton Skye Apartment in Johannesburg and she is currently fighting for survival.
Shortly after the incidence, a South African twitter handle @voiceofsouthafrica began to spread the wrong impression that Mike is a Nigerian without doing any form of background check before making the accusations. See their tweet below.
According to a South African based Nigerians singer, Scoobynero, Mike has been properly identified to be a South African with proofs.
Scoobynero took to his IG handle to also reveal that the lady is not yet dead as widely spread. He wrote:
