The attack on foreigners started on Sunday morning, where angry mobs stormed foreign businesses and Loot.

The attack spread across the second day before the security operatives got involved, dispersing the angry Mob.
Meanwhile, the leader of South African Economic Freedom Fighters, EFF, in a statement, condemned the attack.
He said whether you are from South Africa or Zimbabwe, this is your home. He, therefore, calls for an end to self-hate. He said, Africa we are one, Nigerians are our brothers.
