Xenophobia: South African President, Ramaphosa reveals number of people killed
According to the South African leader, “Over the past few days, our country has been deeply traumatised and troubled by acts of violence and criminality directed against foreign nationals and our own citizens.
Police in the country have arrested over 80 people and confirmed five deaths as riots in Johannesburg and the capital Pretoria intensified on Tuesday. High unemployment and widespread poverty have been cited as possible triggers for the recent disturbances and attacks on immigrants, but some officials say the riots might be the work of criminal syndicates.
Cele confirmed five people had been killed in the three days of rioting, but did not give further details on the circumstances or on arrests.
