Some members of the community in Soweto say foreign-owned shops have been looted to avenge the incidents that happened in thelast week, when foreign nationals attacked police during a raid on those who trade in counterfeit goods.

Ramokgopa says, “Whereas it is easy to characterise the situation as xenophobia and self-hate, we think that central to the problem is a shrinking economy that is squeezing people out of jobs and business. Undoubtedly, this is a breeding ground for conflict.“ Police have confirmed that spaza shops were looted in Dobsonville, Rockville, Zola, Orlando, Meadowlands, Emndeni, Moletsane, White City and Zondi on Wednesday night.Foreign nationals have removed goods from some of their shops to a place of safety.“We are just doing police work because police officers are scared to do their job. We were just fighting for them. Foreign nationals should just leave us with our local shop owners.
