Xenophobic attacks flared up in Durban [2019]

[b_crazy]

Here we go AGAIN....

Xenophobic attacks flared up in the Springfield, Kenville area in Durban on Monday 25 March, when a mob of protesters burst into the homes of foreign nationals, moving door to door and seizing belongings, from beds and TV sets to pots and baskets, before targeting foreign-operated shops. The violence left several people injured and at least two people dead. And while police patrols have brought calm to the area, foreign nationals are still too afraid to venture outside.

Temba Sibanda is holed up in his home in Benwood Road, Sydenham in Durban, too afraid to go outside to use the bathroom, let alone go to work. The Zimbabwean national, who has been in the country for four years, escaped falling victim to a marauding mob in the early hours of Monday by hiding away. More than 24 hours later Sibanda still would not set foot outside, fearful of being caught and injured by the mob

Well they have to do something, they are entirely too incompetent to do the jobs or run the little shops these foreigners have.

I mean if you cannot compete with someone who is new in a foreign country who doesn't speak the language or posses the culture and know how then you are f,ucking pathetic I tell you, PATHETIC!!

Fscking savages, and fscking incompetent police as well. That protest should have been squashed hard and fast... but no, they just let it fester for most of the day and totally fscked up many companies as well as employees getting to work.

How can we blame this on WMC?

Protestors ? sounds more like typical local criminal scum robbing people of their belongings under the the guise of Xenophobia.

That's likely. There was that comment from a Somali shopkeeper who apparently pays protecting to a local thug who protects him when looting mobs come calling. This is being organized for personal gain by certain scum. The police and crime intelligence are obviously too incompetent if they are unable to identify and round up and prosecute these "leaders".

At the least the foreigners are smart enough to realise how useless the cops are, and still stay inside despite police patrols.

Maybe they arent paying the cops enough protection.

These scuminals where allegedly the ones cauising havoc with traffic by stopping and chasing foriegn truck drives away on Monday afternoon.

Not sure thought because it seem to co-ordinated they way they blocked bayhead, edwin swales and the m7 which makes me think it was a planned truck driver protest.
but in the paper the next day they where playing victim blamining it on these "protesters"
