South Africa experienced some unrest three weeks ago where we saw foreigners shops were looted in Diepsloot.

A foreigner allegedly shot and killed two Zimbabweans in the process.

South Africa is probably sitting on a ticking bomb where foreigners feel unsafe and there is no cohesion between locals and them which lead to intolerance and them believe everyone is a criminal.
