South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, and former President Olusegun Obasanjo have met in Johannesburg where they discussed the issue of the recent xenophobic attacks in the country.
The meeting held as Obasanjo is said to be in the country for the public presentation of a book he co-launched.
According to a statement by the Spokesperson for Ramaphosa, Khusela Diko, Ramaphosa told Obasanjo that no Nigerian was killed during the attacks.
“The leaders engaged on misconceptions created about the situation in South Africa that gave the impression that Nigerian nationals in particular had been victimised.
“No loss of life was reported among Nigerian nationals in South Africa during this period.
“Former President Obasanjo expressed his sincere appreciation of President Ramaphosa’s recent appointment of a team of Special Envoys who have in the past few days visited a number of African states to deliver a message from the President regarding the incidents of violence,” he said.
