SA Streets Resembling War-Zone As Armed Somalis And Bus drivers Clash by TMKsouth: 11:19pm On Oct 14, 2021 |
The South African Police Service (SAPS) members have set upon Somali nationals’ shops in the coastal city of Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) after an eruption of violence saw several minibus taxis going up in flames on Wednesday. The first scene of the violent chaos caught the public’s attention via a video posted on social media. It showed several taxis engulfed in flames during daylight on Durban Road. The fiery disaster footage was soon followed by a report from a local radio station. It said the violent chaos was “an altercation between South African taxi drivers and Somalian shop owners. “Police in Gqeberha and several other role-players are on scene at the taxi rank in Korsten where an altercation between taxi drivers and Somalian shop owners escalated. Several vehicles and a shop were set alight. This is a developing story image supplied,” the outlet said. Another video that was shared on social media displayed what looked like Somali shop owners strolling down a road with heavy gun artillery. With less than 24-hours since the carnage, SAPS officers headed for Somali-owned wholesale shops in Korsten with special mission guns in hands on Thursday. A video has shown a large team of SAPS policemen raiding a building that resembles a wholesale shop before a man appeared to at the entrance to let the cops inside the property. We can safely presume the location is where Somali shop owners could be hiding in safety from a possible attack from Gqeberha taxi drivers. Additionally, police could also be seen determined to arrest anyone who may be illegally possessing firearms as seen in the social media video. Calm has since returned to the town although tensions remain. 2 Likes 1 Share

The following day (Thursday) heavily-armed police went into the town to raid Somali shops looking for illegal firearms - also as the Police Minister went to inspect the scene of the violence. The riot is reported to have been sparked by a road rage incident between a taxi and a businessman. 7 Likes 2 Shares

@TMKSouth Big ups for reporting this here my man, but what's up with your countrymen and Xenophobia? Do they prefer white people to their own black brothers? Cos I don't see or hear them doing this to white folks, just their fellow Africans all the time. No disrespect intended, just a long-term observation. 140 Likes 10 Shares |

Afriqan: These things happen in areas with serious socio-economic problems. That's why you won't hear of professionals or students from other African countries being caught up in all of this, same as with most of the whites and the upper black classes. As you may know taxi drivers and illegal migrants are usually at the lower levels of society. 120 Likes 7 Shares |

Usually I'd call south africans xénophobic but honestly these somalis are moving devils, cursed afro-asiatic bastards with terrorism in their blood....imagine stock-pilling arms in another man's country Even in other parts of the world these skinny nigger somalis act like they better than other africans when their country is a poster child for an african hellhole. Skinny goat fvckin nignogs. Modified: hours after i made this statement, a British MP was stabbed by a Somali refugee kid. 41 Likes 1 Share |
