South Africa importation from Nigeria.

South Africa's imports from Nigeria are heavily dominated by crude petroleum, which accounts for the vast majority (often over $2 billion annually) of Nigeria's total exports to the country. This reliance on extractive commodities dictates a massive, persistent trade deficit for South Africa.

Beyond crude oil, smaller imports from Nigeria include:

Nitrogenous Fertilizers: Used heavily in South Africa’s agricultural sector.

Rubber: Raw and processed rubber products.

Refined Petroleum: Occasional imports of processed fuels.

Cocoa & Food Products: Cocoa pastes, oil seeds, and limited edible fruits or nuts.

Over 70% of Nigerian crude oil makes it to South Africa

Last Night Mexico Finally Took Bafana-Bafana's Job.

Is been a long time coming between Mexico and South Africa in the FIFA Senior Men's Football World Cup. 

Dating back to October 1993 when the two sides faced each other for the first time in a friendly match that ended Mexico 4 vs South Africa 0.

Basically, Mexico and South Africa have faced each other 5 times in international men's football. Mexico holds the advantage with 3 wins, while South Africa has 1 win and 1 match has ended in a draw.

June 2000: Mexico 4 - 2 South Africa (US Nike Cup).

July 2005: South Africa 2 - 1 Mexico (CONCACAF Gold Cup, Group Stage).

June 2010: South Africa 1 - 1 Mexico (FIFA World Cup, Group A).

For the first time in FIFA Senior Men's World Cup stage between Mexico and South Africa; Mexico finally took Bafana-Bafana's job and women from far a way Mexico!

Nigeria prepares the airlifting of its citizens from South Africa.

The Nigerian Embassy in Pretoria has just completed the official screening for over 1094 Nigerian citizens that registered to be repatriated in wake of anti-immigrants protest in South Africa.

                   The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, in a message to journalists on a WhatsApp group, disclosed that the verification process, which began on Thursday, was being jointly conducted by the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria; South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO); the South African Police Service and immigration authorities to determine those eligible for evacuation.

           The move comes as anxiety grows among migrant communities in South Africa, where anti-foreigner protests and hostility have intensified in recent weeks. Similar concerns recently prompted Ghana to initiate the evacuation of its citizens from the country.
