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.
