Protests against undocumented migrants have been going on for months in South Africa. We鈥檝e talked about them on the podcast before - people are protesting against illegal immigrants, and some of the marches have turned violent and deadly. Houses have been burned down, shops looted, and countries like Ghana and Nigeria have even evacuated some of their citizens from the country.

But these protests aren鈥檛 just affecting politics and South Africa鈥檚 relationships with other countries on the continent. They鈥檙e also impacting sports and pop culture.

Now, Tyla, the South African pop star, has taken Nigeria off her world tour dates. She hasn鈥檛 given a reason, but thousands of Nigerians had signed a petition urging her to stay away.

So that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e getting into today with Makuochi Okafor, our West Africa Reporter.

Plus, we hear from people in Nigeria on what they think about it all.
