Israel-based Ghanaian Francis Larweh has disclosed that about four of his Nigerian friends have overworked themselves to death in the past year in Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Francis, most of them take up multiple tasks due to their abundance of jobs without rest. In a chat on SVTV Africa with DJ Nyaami,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cConstruction pays a lot here. Some earn $14 per hour, but it is risky. People work 19 to 21 hours. Within one year, four of my Nigerian friends have died, and some had built three and four-storey buildings, but they didn\u2019t wake up from their sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many jobs available, and people risk their lives to make money. People are making money, but you can\u2019t persuade them to rest,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moreover, Francis revealed that a Ghanaian also died in his sleep on his journey to Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Ghanaian was on a bus from Eilat to Tel Aviv. By the time he got to his destination, he was dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Larweh added that these people risk their lives because their work permits can be revoked anytime and deported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIsrael is a one-shot. That\u2019s why the Africans put pressure on themselves to work more. The only way you can get a residence permit is after your 18-year-old child joins the military for three years. That is Israel\u2019s national service.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Francis, Israeli police do not harass blacks in Israel, but they experience little racism from other foreign nationals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
