The Nigerian High Commissioner to South Africa says the country is willing to repatriate more of its people - this after the wave of violence against foreigners in South Africa.

Nigeria has already endorsed the repatriation of more than 600 Nigerians - who will leave on flights on Wednesday and Friday.

The African Diaspora Forum meanwhile says it has been inundated with requests from foreign nationals wanting to return home. SABC News journalist Nozintombi Miya was at the Nigerian consulate in Rivonia.
