UPDATE ON ATTACKS IN SOUTH AFRICA

The Kenya High Commission's attention has been drawn to a section of falsehoods in form of fake news being circulated regarding the attacks in South Africa. We have established that some of the circulated clips are outdated while some are not in South Africa.
We, therefore, would like to request Kenyans to exercise caution and seek clarification where in doubt before sharing such information. These kind of sensational news should be shunned as they only cause panic among Kenyans and the public at large and does not help the situation at hand.

Kenyans living in South Africa are urged to focus on the current situation and report all incidences to the authorities and alert the High Commission through these numbers +27 12 362 2249/51 or email: info@kenya.org.za

The Kenya High Commission is in consultation with the South African officials and have been assured that the Government is putting all measures in place to provide security to people and property.

The High Commission remains open as usual for Kenyan citizens to report incidences and seek advice. Safety of Kenyans is of Paramount importance to the High Commission.
