“I was in Ojuelegba just yesterday and never did I feel unsafe or not welcome… they knew I was South African! IT should never be okay to attack and hurt innocent people because A criminal came from their country,” she wrote.
In addition to her fears she expressed how South African men need to do better and stop violating women.
“We have a whole South African evil man who committed a hideous crime while having so many other crimes against women every day in South Africa, BUT we don’t walk around fucking up every South African man we see! The violence needs to stop.”
