South Africa's biggest VULNERABILITY EXPOSED | Xenophobia Backfires

South Africa just told Nigeria there will be no compensation for the shops, homes, and businesses abandoned by hundreds of Nigerians fleeing xenophobic violence. Then a minister in the South African presidency went further — demanding to be shown "the drug dens of Nigerians." 4 days later, inside the Nigerian Senate, lawmakers proposed seizing the profits of MTN, MultiChoice (DStv), and Stanbic IBTC to pay the victims instead. In this episode of The Solomon Report, Peace Solomon follows the money behind the confrontation: more than 850 Nigerians evacuated on 4 flights, close to 1,000 Ghanaians flown home, a Ghanaian man killed on the day of the June 30 vigilante deadline, and Ghana declining a state visit from President Cyril Ramaphosa. Then the numbers that change everything — MTN's own filings show Nigeria and Ghana now generate roughly 90% of the group's profit, and MTN invested more than twice as much in Nigeria as in South Africa last year. The Senate voted the seizure proposal down and chose investigation instead. But the leverage it exposed is not going anywhere.
