A Nigerian man has just destroyed his DSTV decoder over the recent attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV had earlier reported that properties worth millions of naira, and belonging to Nigerians, were set ablaze by South Africans.
A viral video sighted by Igbere TV also showed several shops being looted by the angry South African citizens in their large numbers.
President of the Nigeria Union in South Africa, Adetola Olubajo, said the attacks began on Sunday morning in Jeppestown area of Johannesburg.
Mr Olubajo said in a statement on Monday that the mob “looted several shops that were around the vicinity suspected to be owned by foreign nationals.”
DSTV (Multichoice), including MTN Communications, Shoprite, Stanbic bank, are some of the over 200 South African companies in Nigeria.
Speaking on reasons for his actions, the Nigerian man identified as Enigma on Twitter, said destroying his decoder was the only way he could express his disapproval.
“I just smashed my DSTV console where I am now, 2 more to go. This is how show my solidarity. Dang DSTV, Shoprite and all South Aficans. I am berserk but I can’t kill anybody and won’t.
“The way I can express my vehement disapproval is by cutting ties with anything South African. I am crying and angry at same time. For the lives lost and at the south African government”, he said.
