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.

WHO ARE YOU LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY FOR ___OBEY MY COUNTRY LAW OR YOU GO DOWN ____EVERYWHERE IS NOT NIGERIA

King44:
If the matter is checked properly you would find that the Taxi drivers must have been the cause and the people who retaliated are terrorists by nature.

That retailer raised an issue of their rights been given to the taxi drivers, so there is a bone of contention that has not been sorted out, and instead of the police to investigate the causes of the violence, those responsible for burning vehicles/shops and those that are responsible for bearing arms and ammunition on both sides

He is just saying they have broken the law, who and who broke the law?

It must be looked at from both angles, the taxi drivers and shop owners

There must have been issues of intimidation and the police don't care or they are in support.

Those taxi drivers always act like they have a monopoly of violence n the average taxi driver has an illegal gun....
They always aggressive and power drunk...
I think this is a good act on the part of the Somalis who have always been at the receiving end of violence n looting..shebi dem see ak47 now... the taxi drivers ran..
Now SAns are calling for removal of somalians... haaa haaa haa
Karma is a bitch

TMKsouth:


I agree with u on the issue of taxi drivers but the issue of a potential Somali insurgency should also be addressed. It's always been red flagged by the authorities.

If they cant get it right checkmating illegal guns that south Africans have access to.
Can they checkmate the one these somalians have ?
To be honest... the violence perpetrated on these lots by south Africans is enough reason for them to have guns smuggled in for their protection... cos u and I both know these guys are not protected..its the other way round..
Let me ask...where are all the perpetrators of the last looting
I can categorically tell u...99% of them have been released..all they have now is the criminal records that's if it was indeed recorded..
Now let's picture this scenery I just had in my head now....
Let's say another uprising against foreigners happens n it happens in kempton park..
I can tell u my brothers will come out armed n face the other party as long as they are harmed...
This is just the real deal
When I was working security I had access to a gun.. my Congolese colleagues would even steal the company's gun n get fired...all they needed to is claim they were attacked...
And we both know how cheap getting a gun is

@bolded - and yet u didn't miss a chance to praise SA "Europeans" and pull down blacks in 2 previous posts of yours on this page alone. Hypocrisy.

Transcriber:

You're very very stupid for saying that rubbish

So the black man wasn't ruling himself before the Europeans came?

Do you know that Africa,even with the thousands of ethnic groups was arguably the most peaceful before your European gods came?
Have you heard of Mansa Musa?
Have you seen great Zimbabwe?

I repeat you're very very stupid for saying that

I will gladly take a ban for this

lomprico:


Yes, they are the reason SA is as developed as it is. If they leave you blacks can't manage shit.

Empi.ree, did you watch that video? .
Your religion is always followed by absurdity, evil, murder destruction. Everywhere you go, death always follows you. You have no place for peace. What a shame

This is the South Africa every African country then wanted to liberate from the Peter Botha racist regime now openly displaying xenophobic attacks on their fellow blacks.

Your religion is a curse to humanity

Did you hear the Allahu Akbar in the video?

Empiree:
You don't hear "Allāh Akbar" everyday muslims pray?. It is the same way you christians say "Jesus" anytime something happens. Stop being ignorant

Oga shut up. They shouted Allahu Akbar after successfully setting those buses on fire.

Stop covering up evil as if you are rejoicing in evil
