A disturbing incident has sparked outrage and concern as reports emerge of a Nigerian woman being forced to give birth on bare floor of a hospital in South Africa. The shocking act is attributed to the anti-migrant group Operation Dudula, which has been accused of blocking foreigners from accessing public hospitals and perpetuating xenophobic attacks.
The woman , whose identity hasn’t been disclosed, was reportedly barred from entering the hospital by members of Operation Dudula, leaving her with no choice but to deliver her baby on the floor without proper medical care or assistance from midwives. This incident highlights the plight of Nigerians and other foreign nationals facing harassment and intimidation in South Africa.
Leaders of the Nigerian community in South Africa, have condemned the actions of Operation Dudula. They are urging the Nigerian government to intervene diplomatically and demand protection for Nigerians living in South Africa.
Operation Dudula’s activities have raised fears of renewed xenophobic violence, reminiscent of past outbreaks that claimed lives. The group’s tactics include blocking clinics, inspecting businesses, and confronting immigrants, sparking concerns about safety and human rights.
African Ambassadors in South Africa are engaging with the government to address the crisis. The Nigerian government has been urged to summon the South African Ambassador to demand urgent intervention and protection for Nigerians.
