TWO NIGERIAN JOURNALIST MOLESTED IN SOUTH AFRICA.

   Two Nigerian journalists covering the 2013 AFCON brutalised by South African police
Fallout of the continuous maltreatment of Nigerians by foreign countries anytime a nigerian travels there continued even in South Africa as two Nigerian journalists covering the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) were kicked, dragged on the ground, threatened with cocked guns and forcibly detained for two hours by officers of the South African police in Johannesburg on Tuesday afternoon.

Debo Oshudun, Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria for Central and Southern Africa and John Joshua Akanji, a Deputy Editor of The Sun Newspapers were on board a taxi on their way to cover the departure of the AFCON winners Super Eagles when shortly after they both alighted, they were surrounded by no less than 20 fully armed South African police officers who threatened to shoot them after they insisted they were Journalists.

The duo were however grateful to God for sparing their lives because they were at the mercy of the officers.
Masquerade234 however recalls that  the representative of President Goodluck Jonathan and President of the Nigerian Senate David Mark was snubbed at the finals of the football fiesta by his host the South african President Jacob Zuma and even the south Africa PAY Station DSTV.
