The union’s president described this as a heartbreaking and pointless act that ended a promising life way too soon.

They mentioned that one of the three people suspected in the crime has already been caught by the police, and the case is heading to court today.

The group trusts that the South African police, courts, and prosecutors will make sure justice is done properly.

They’re pushing for more action to catch the other suspects and hold everyone responsible under the law.

Sending heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of the victim, they stressed that no one should have to go through such a painful loss.

The union is encouraging everyone in the community—locals and immigrants alike—to come together and fight against violence and crime.

They’re dedicated to teaming up with officials to make things safer and more peaceful for all people living there, no matter where they’re from.

This comes right after the February 9 incident where Emeka Uzor was shot while in his car during what was called an anti-drug operation in Johannesburg’s Windsor area.

This comes after as the result of the ongoing deteriorating relationship between South Africa and USA which emanates from the allegations that were to President Donald Trump that the country was involve in white genocide.

Speaking to MDN News, founding member of Dungeon Trucking Vusimuzi Mbatha who hails from Ennerdale in Soweto in Johannesburg said that staying in the US at the moment was not conducive for them.

“We are under a microscope at the moment. Any missteps become their weapons while the Black South Africans in the US have not been supported in developing an empowered community that can defend itself unlike the other groups who are heavily supported by their home governments and industries,” he said.

“We are being let down by our own government who is not looking out for the interest of the Black South Africans. We are facing a situation where our own government back home is aware that most black South Africans are not getting their visas approved just because of the ongoing war of words because of the allegations that people are painting the picture that South Africa is a bad country to live. We are not different from the South Africans that are stuck in Ukraine. We have been in the forefront fighting for the Black Migrants in the US yet our government is giving us support that we need,” he said.

Another South African citizen Yoliswa Cele who has been living in the US for more than 10 years said that said that Afrophobia began during the first terms of Trump administration.

“This is also not new, South Africans have been raising concerns about the situation for over a decade. This is the fuel that helps drive the engine of actual violence from the minority operating out of xenophobia and hate. This is what makes the non-Xenophobic but very concerned majority begin to push for less friendly policies.

“We still have to be accountable to each other. South African immigration laws have been severely violated for over a decade, not to mention our social laws hence some of us no longer speak up when our fellow South Africans are harshly expressing their concerns and experiences,” she said.

Speaking at the Nigerian Bar Association’s annual conference in Enugu, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) president called for deeper collaboration between Nigeria and South Africa, declaring that the future of Africa’s prosperity depends on the solidarity and industrial growth of its two biggest economies.

Malema paid tribute to Nigeria’s historic role in South Africa’s liberation struggle, recalling how Nigerians sacrificed salaries, students paid the “Mandela tax,” and successive governments stood firmly against apartheid. He urged both nations to transform that legacy of solidarity into concrete economic partnerships today.

“The path forward is clear,” Malema said. “Nigeria and South Africa must industrialise together—building factories, processing resources on African soil, and creating African-owned conglomerates that can power the continent. Imagine Nigeria’s oil wealth joined with South Africa’s mining expertise—this is how we reclaim Africa’s future.”

He criticized the continent’s dependency on exporting raw materials, only to import finished goods at high costs, calling it a modern form of economic enslavement. Malema also warned African nations against piling up foreign loans, describing them as a “debt trap” that mortgages the future of generations to come.

On xenophobia, he was uncompromising: “A Nigerian in Johannesburg or a Ghanaian in Cape Town is not a foreigner—they are Africans contributing to our progress. Xenophobia is a sickness born of poverty, inequality, and government failure, and it undermines everything we stand for as Africans.”

Malema further called for freer movement across the continent, including visa-free travel between Nigeria and South Africa, harmonized trade policies, and major infrastructure projects to connect African economies into one integrated market.

Placing his message within a wider Pan-African vision, he restated the EFF’s radical call for a borderless Africa with a single currency, one parliament, and a united military command. He also expressed solidarity with oppressed peoples worldwide, from Palestine to Western Sahara and beyond, insisting Africa must build its own legal and justice systems instead of relying on Western-controlled institutions.

“We are not a dark continent,” Malema declared to loud applause. “How can we be dark when we have diamonds that shine among us? Together, Nigeria and South Africa can lead Africa into a future where we are not beggars but giants—united, industrialised, and in full control of our destiny.”
