Despite the global outcry over the recent Xenophobic attacks in South
Africa on African migrants, Eastern Johannesburg yesterday night into
the early hours of this morning recorded fresh attacks on shops owned by
foreigners while a car and a building believed to be owned by a
foreigner was set ablaze.
200 foreigners had to run to the Gauteng province Police station where
they are now taking refuge. 12 of the South Africans who carried out the
attack have been arrested and according to the police, they will be
charged to court. Meanwhile most shops owned by foreigners are still
under lock and key as they wait for the South African government to
bring the situation under control.
