As tension continues to mount
over the ongoing xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa, some South
African drivers have encountered difficulties in crossing the country’s borders
to Mozambique and Zambia.
In a video which surfaced online,
South African drivers could be seen being held up at border points by Zambians
and Mozambicans.
Tyres were set on fire on a road
connecting South Africa to Mozambique. It is believed that the obstructions
were caused by those protesting against xenophobia in South Africa.
Truckers carrying deliveries were
targeted specifically by the communities, who had to be dispersed by police.
At
least five Africans have been killed in attacks on foreigners in South Africa
this week.
The attacks on foreign-owned
businesses in Gauteng area of South Africa have sparked a tidal wave of
reactions, with Nigeria, in particular, taking a firm stance against South
Africa. The West African country had boycotted the current World Economic Forum
event in Cape Town.
