ADEKEYE ADEBAJO | AU’s flawed proposals for building Africa’s security architecture (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In February the AU released a report on reforms in the name of its “champion of AU institutional reforms”, Kenyan President William Ruto, which the pan-continental body is attempting to implement. The document dealt largely with issues of peace and security. However, the AU report sought to apply bureaucratic solutions to inherently political problems. The Ruto report was disappointingly short of concrete, practical ideas. Its language and high-sounding, empty declarations and its resort to crea
ADEKEYE ADEBAJO | Xenophobia in South Africa’s ivory towers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2026, a wave of Afrophobia swept through South Africa’s higher education sector, reflecting trends in wider society. The scourge of xenophobic attacks has been a perennial feature of post-apartheid South Africa. Between 1994 and 2025, Wits University’s African Centre for Migration and Society recorded over 935 verified xenophobic incidents that led to more than 384 deaths. In 2025, the Human Sciences Research Council noted that 42% of South Africans polled voiced outright hostility towards im
ADEKEYE ADEBAJO | Farewell to a Pan-African farmer-technocrat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Babagana Ahmadu, the representative of the UN Food & Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Pretoria, died recently on a flight to Newark, US. Unlike many overcautious UN bureaucrats who unconsciously cut the figure of a “glorified nobody”, Ahmadu was a man of passion and ideas who also ran a farm in his volatile northeastern Nigerian hometown of Maiduguri. He was a practical man who liked to get his hands dirty. Before coming to South Africa in 2023, Ahmadu had been FAO representative in Namibia, Ga
ADEKEYE ADEBAJO | Clement Manyathela’s hate radio stereotypes Nigerians (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Xenophobic stereotyping of Nigerians as drug-traffickers and criminals is widespread in South Africa. I recently listened to an extraordinary broadcast by Clement Manyathela on Radio 702, unabashedly wielding these stereotypes, even as he kept unconvincingly noting that he was not talking about all Nigerians. Manyathela started by highlighting the recent diplomatic agreement reached by South Africa and Nigeria. His main gripe was that Abuja was not doing anything or making any statements urging
ADEKEYE ADEBAJO | Nigerian shops burn in SA — SA companies pay in Nigeria (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africa and Nigeria account for about a quarter of Africa’s economic might and led much of its post-Cold War peacemaking initiatives until recently, when internal fragility has forced both powers to deploy troops to focus disproportionately on domestic security. The success of region-building efforts in Africa, nevertheless, rests heavily on these two powers. About 500,000 Nigerians live in South Africa, and 120 South African companies operate in Nigeria. While Nigerian citizens tend to be
