Chimhavi insist that the players and staff alike will all be safe when they travel to West Africa.
“We don’t want to delve on such issues. That’s a sensitive issue, especially from South Africa.
“We don’t want the rest of Africa to think that we are xenophobic. These are our brothers and we hope to receive brotherly reception from Nigeria.
"We always get receptive reception from the Nigerians. We hope for the same when we travel there for the game on Wednesday,” said Chimhavi.
