SOUTH African-born wives of Nigerians living in South Africa are set for a major nationwide protest against their increasing stigmatisation by their fellow countrymen and women.
.
According to the Chairperson of the United Nigerian Wives in South Africa (UNWISA), Mrs Lindale Uche, fellow South Africans discriminate against them, their spouses and children.
.
Uche said children of such marriages are called derogatory names and made to feel like outcasts, aliens and unwelcome. The women had protested earlier in March this year, but nothing came of it, hence their decision to form an association and fight together.
.
This is yet another indication that little is being done, especially by the South African authorities, to create a conducive atmosphere for Nigerians to lawfully live fulfilled life.
Nigerians don't really care cos we've been faced with such things in the past and we've gotten through all of that!
