South African Government has started making moves to amend the feuds between the country and fellow African Countries over the recent xenophobic attack. Cyril Ramaphosa, the President Of South African has finalized plans to send special envoys toNigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari and his counterparts from six other countries.

The special envoys would deliver messages of togetherness to the various head of states.

In a statement issued yesterday by South African government, spokesperson Khusela Diko, said: “The special envoys will deliver a message from President Ramaphosa regarding the incidents of violence that recently erupted in some parts of South Africa, which have manifested in attacks on foreign nationals and destruction of property.”

He further added that the special envoys were tasked with “reassuring fellow African countries that South Africa is committed to the ideals of pan-African unity and solidarity.”

Members of the team of special envoys include Jeff Radebe, Ambassador Kingsley Mmabolo, and Dr Khulu, who are expected to visit Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia.

In recent weeks there has been an outbreak of Xenophobic attacks in South Africa after a taxi driver was killed by an alleged drug dealer in Pretoria.

The envoys will reassure fellow African countries that South Africa is committed to the ideals of pan-African unity and solidarity, Diko said.

They will also reaffirm South Africa’s commitment to the rule of law.

They will brief the countries on the steps the South African government is taking to bring a stop to the attacks and to hold the perpetrators to account.
