A Nigerian mother is spending her fourth day camping on the steps of the Nigerian Consulate in Sandton, South Africa, waiting for free ride to the airport, where she would board free flight provided by Air Peace.
The unnamed woman, holding a baby swaddled in layers of clothes, narrated that she had been living in South Africa for five years.
As reported by eNCA, a local TV station, the young mother had been sleeping at the Nigerian Consulate with her child, saying she had nowhere to go after her apartment had been razed by the rampaging xenophobic attackers.
The woman told eNCA, that she did not have any money of her own with which to rent another accommodation, hence her decision to camp on the steps of the Nigerian Consulate until the next flight.
She said she would wait at the consulate until there is a bus to give her free ride to the airport.(Punch)
