The ANC has dismissed as criminal acts, protests and looting in the Johannesburg CBD that started in the early hours of Sunday morning.The ANC has strongly condemned the violence that has engulfed the City. ANC Secretary General Ace Magashule has implored police to take action.The organisation has accused the police and government of being ignorant when it comes to protecting the rights of foreign nationals.

Africa Diaspora Forum Chairperson, Vusimuzi Sibanda, says, “We are seeing an onslaught on the migrants. There’s no protection as you can see. Maybe they are busy somewhere else. But the only thing we can do now is to try and find our own means of protecting ourselves, that is in the numbers, because if people sit wherever they sit alone they are being attacked and wait until at night and they are getting attacked. So, we are also trying to set up our systems to make sure that we can communicate.
