JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng police on Wednesday said had launched an inquiry into the fire that gutted parts of the popular Yeoville Market in Johannesburg.

More than 15 shops were set alight on Monday night into Tuesday morning. It's alleged the fire could have been started by members of the Dudula Movement.

Shop owners said they received verbal threats from the movement last week and were told that if they did not leave, their shops would be burned down. "I don't know what to do, everything is burned, I don't know what to do. I'm finished," said a devastated shopkeeper. "You say you don't want us, you don't want a foreigner here. We closed the market and they come back. They said they are going to burn the market. This is terrible but there is nothing we can do; anything can happen at any time," said another shop owner."On arrival at the market, we found that firefighters were already there. The cause of the fire cannot be confirmed at this stage, but we are busy with our investigations," said spokesperson Mavela Masondo.

Ai suka. That narrative ain't sticking! PutSouthAfricansFirst WeWantOurCountryBack

Easy to blame Dudula, it is NOT their MO. Rather investigate a heater been left on somewhere.

Nothing about a heater left on?

That vigilante terrorist group needs to be outlawed and anyone associated with it put in jail.

Alleged. On what evidence?

Niyanya straight

It's time for them to go home

I blame Ramaposa for this nonsense call Dudula The law must just their job, and stop blaming Dudula for their incompetent So now they're distancing themselves from their own criminal behaviour? Burning a man alive clearly wasn't enough to satisfy the bloodlust of those Dudula thugs.

They are breaking the law. ntwaagae Absolute barbaric action. I am sure Bheki Cele doesn't care at all.

Broke what law We were born wit so much hate for any foreign black person at the extend that soon we will be asking for a breathing fee because then they are not allowed to breath our oxygen, neh!!
