South African women married to Nigerians, yesterday, threatened to stage mass protest in Johannesburg to stop discrimination against them, their husbands and children.
.
Mrs Lindelwa Uche, the chairperson of the United Nigerian Wives in South Africa, UNWISA, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria during the launch of the association, Sunday, in Johannesburg.
.
Uche said that South African society did not take their marriage to Nigerians as serious relationships.
.
She said: "Our society does not take our marriages serious, they see our marriages as relations of convenience and perceive us as evil to the society.
.
"All of us are South Africans married to Nigerians living in South Africa, we decided to come together to fight against stigmatisation, discrimination, and humiliation, against our families by government departments and agency and the officials of the government, the community and our-in laws."

Marriage isn't forced on anyone so the problems in marriage should not be taken out on other people especially third parties.
