As the ultimatum slammed on African migrants to leave South Africa on Monday June 30, 2026 elapsed , a Nigerian trader identified as “Big Joe” has been short dead in Witbank, South Africa.
Big Joe was short dead in front of his shop in the full glare of South African protesters who continue to threaten African foreigners across the country.
At press time, no arrest has been made by South African authorities.
Nigerian government has in the last two weeks brought home over 500 Nigerians who indicated interest in coming back home.
South Africans have poured on the streets of major cities molesting, and sometimes killing black Africans whom they accuse of stealing their jobs with the full protection of security forces.
