The Nigeria High Commission in South Africa has issued a cautionary advisory to Nigerians ahead of the much-anticipated clash between the Super Eagles and the Bafana Bafana in the African Cup of Nations semi-finals.

In a statement titled “Advisory on Safe Conduct for Nigerians in South Africa Before, During, and After 2024 AFCON Match Between Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana,” the High Commission emphasized the need for restraint in jubilation and language following the match.

Citing inflammatory online comments allegedly made by some South Africans against Nigerians, the High Commission urged Nigerians to avoid provocative celebrations and watch their utterances.

The advisory aims to preempt any potential xenophobic incidents targeting Nigerians in South Africa, recalling past violence sparked by similar tensions.

Nigerians are urged to maintain good conduct and report any incidents of provocation to the authorities.
