South Africa is Africa’s second-largest economy, after Nigeria in Africa. However, the two African giants have no such visa waiver agreement. There is also no indication that such an agreement is in the anvil between both countries. Amidst these developments of visa-free travel, there are growing incidents of jingoism in some of the African countries. South Africa is one such country mostly on account of the practice of people from other countries engaging in work and offering cheap labor to the detriment of the local population.
