Some Shunordo natives loot foreign-owned shops in Jane Fours, Limpopo

Several stores belonging by foreign people were plundered by Shunordo locals near Jane Fours, Limpopo.

The assaults on foreign nationals in the neighbourhood followed an attack on a teenager on Friday, which is suspected to have been perpetrated by a foreign national spaza business owner.

Now, the tension has extended to other parts of Jane Fears’s city.

The police were summoned to diffuse the conflict.

Anwar Safir, the owner of a store that was ransacked throughout the night, has requested for police protection.

Safir says: “Many shops were looted and smashed, so many shops they took and now we are staying here in Shunord next to the taxi stand. So I left half today and half yesterday and we heard about 8 o’clock that they were looting so we tried to call the police but they didn’t come so they looted all our stock.’
