JOHANNESBURG Authentic Ryan Kerrigan Jersey , April 27 (Xinhua) -- Relations between South Africa and Nigeria have further been strained after the latter recalled its diplomatic envoy in protest against the latest wave of xenophobia violence in parts of South Africa.


On Saturday, Nigeria recalled its acting high commissioner to South Africa for consultations on Pretoria's handling of xenophobia attacks on immigrants.


South Africa reacted strongly to the Nigerian move.


"If this action is based on the incidents of attacks on foreign nationals in some parts of our country, it would be curious for a sisterly country to want to exploit such a painful episode for whatever agenda," said Department of International Relations and Cooperation spokesperson Clayson Monyela.


He said the South African government did not blame Nigeria for its handling of the collapse of the Lagos-based Synagogue of All Nations Church building in September last year, in which 84 South Africans died.


Although Pretoria said it remained committed to creating a strong bond with Nigeria Authentic Jordan Reed Jersey , experts said the two countries have a love-and-hate relationship at present and for the foreseeable future.


A lecturer of international relations at Rhodes University, who refused to be named, told Xinhua that the relations had already been strained by the behavior of some South African companies such as MTN, MultiChoice and Woolworths, which were "being blamed of profiting – three times larger than in South Africa - from Nigerian market."


Enraged Nigerians threatened to close South African businesses operating in their country following the recent xenophobia attacks that killed at least seven people and displaced thousands of foreigners Authentic Josh Norman Jersey , including Nigerians.


Femmi Okoro, a Nigerian student of international relations at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, noted that this was not the first time that relations between the two countries took a knock.


In 2012, South African officials at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg deported 125 Nigerians because their yellow fever vaccination certificates were believed to have been faked.


"The Nigerian government felt slighted and instead of sulking in the corner, they retaliated by doing some deportation work of their own Authentic Trent Williams Jersey ," Okoro said.


He said that after the unfortunate diplomatic rift, Abuja imposed stricter visa requirements for South Africans.


Nigerian diplomats often complain about negative reports which depict Nigerians in South Africa as drug-traffickers and criminals.


After xenophobic attacks in South Africa left more than 60 people dead and thousands homeless and more repatriated to their home countries in 2008, Nigerian students demanded that South Africans in Nigeria be deported in retaliation of what they termed "genocide" against Nigerians in South Africa.


Relations between Nigeria and SA, two of Africa's largest economies, have been marked by competitive jostling for the first position of the African economy Authentic Adrian Peterson Jersey , now being led by Nigeria after the rebasing of its gross domestic product.


A well-respected South African radio personality and analyst, Eusebius McKaiser, took to Facebook after the recall of the Nigerian diplomatic envoy.


The strong response from South Africa "is fully justified in my view," McKaiser said.


"However, it certainly helps neither South Africa nor Nigeria - and definitely not the continent Authentic Alex Smith Jersey , geopolitically - for diplomatic relations between us to deteriorate," he added.


SA Institute for Security Studies Executive Director, Jackie Cilliers told Xinhua in a telephone interview that "Nigeria as Africa's biggest economy didn't act on behalf of the continent by withdrawing its ambassador."


He cited examples of countries like Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi, which have also expressed their outrages over the attacks on foreigners.


These countries have begun to repatriate their citizens.


"African states have reacted quite strongly to the xenophobic violence in South Africa this time Sean Taylor Jersey ," Cilliers said.


WELLINGTON, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Parity, it's a lofty word ringing with ambitions for equality and fairness.


But it's currently sending a chill through New Zealand exporters, manufacturers and workers.


The New Zealand dollar, with a market value long described as unjustifiable and unsustainable by the country's central bank Samaje Perine Jersey , has been nudging towards a one-to-one parity with the neighboring Australian dollar in recent weeks.


This has stoked trans-Tasman rivalry, with some New Zealanders boasting that the country's growing economy is getting the recognition it deserves.


It is also being lauded for keeping oil and other imported commodities cheap and for making holidays abroad more affordable.


But warning sirens are growing louder, raising the alarm that parity will bring business closures and job losses as New Zealand exporters lose out to cheaper foreign competition.


The country's over-reliance on its pillar dairy industry has already been highlighted this year as international commodity prices plunged with an over-supply.


Now commentators fear parity could be the final straw for many struggling dairy farmers.


On Wednesday, the New Zealand dollar (75 U.S. cents) traded at 98.05 Australian cents, up from 98.04 cents on Tuesday.


On Monday it hit a high of 99.78 Australian cents Fabian Moreau Jersey , the closest it has come to parity since it was floated 30 years ago.


Despite the dip, economists at the ASB Bank on Tuesday released a forecast saying they were still predicting parity sometime this year.


The New Zealand Timber Industry Federation went public Wednesday with its fears that parity or near-parity would close sawmills.


Australia took 21 percent of New Zealand timber exports, but Australian customers had other options including buying from Australian mills, importing from o
