South Africa Arrests 307 Over Attacks On Foreigners by shaokhan01(m): 9:07am On Apr 20, 2015
South Africa’s government has vowed to crack
down on xenophobic violence, after arresting
more than 300 people for a range of crimes
against migrants.
Authorities said on Sunday in Johannesburg that
307 suspects had been arrested for a range of
xenophobic-related crimes.
Security agencies have also increased the police
presence on the ground after at least eight
deaths in anti-immigrant violence in the past
week.
“They have actually pushed other people to leave
their own comfort zones, their homes,” David
Mahlobo, the Minister of State Security, said.
More than 1,000 people have been displaced
after violence against foreign nationals flared up
on March 30 in the country’s coastal province of
KwaZulu-Natal, whose capital is Durban.
The attacks soon spread inland to the country’s
financial hub, Johannesburg, in Gauteng
province.
On Saturday, another two people were reported
killed, bringing the death toll in the latest wave
of attacks to eight, South African police said.
Meanwhile, an uneasy calm prevailed in
Johannesburg on Sunday, on the third day since
violence against foreigners erupted in the city.
Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini told Al
Jazeera that no violent incidents occurred
overnight or on Sunday
