The planned terror strike in Johannesburg, South Africa, sparked a warning from the US government on Wednesday.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the terror alert in South Africa comes just days after it caused comparable anxiety in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
The US Embassy in South Africa warned its nationals that rebels are preparing an attack on mass crowds on Saturday, October 29 in the capital, according to a travel alert posted on its website on Wednesday.

However, the US encouraged its citizens and employees to stay away from crowded locations and any sizable public gatherings in Johannesburg’s broader Sandton area between Saturday and Sunday.
The advisory reads: “The U.S. government has received information that terrorists may be planning to conduct an attack targeting large gatherings of people at an unspecified location in the greater Sandton area of Johannesburg, South Africa, on 29 October 2022.
“There is no further information regarding the timing, method, or target of the potential attack. The U.S. Embassy has advised staff to avoid crowds of people and other large public gatherings in the greater Sandton area of Johannesburg during the weekend of 29-30 October 2022.”
Recall that the US and UK had issued a warning about potential terror strikes in Abuja on Sunday, stating that terrorists might target governmental structures, houses of worship, educational institutions, and other centers.

Additionally, the US asked its nationals and embassy personnel in Abuja to evacuate the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. In addition, it started the process of evacuating its citizens from Abuja before the alleged planned attack.
The Federal Government won’t be frightened by the terror warnings issued by the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom, according to Lai Mohammed, Nigeria’s minister of information and culture.
The minister said that no matter what any administration decides to tell its citizens residing in Abuja and other parts of the country, Nigeria will not be stampeded.
