'I feel like committing suicide because my livelihood has been taken away from me. I was sitting crying, helpless because I can't do anything.'

After losing 53 cars during xenophobic attacks in SA in 2019, Johannesburg car dealership owner Okey Uchendu never thought he would see his business destroyed again by civil unrest in less than two years.

Among the severely burnt cars was an unrecognisable second hand Range Rover Evoque worth R220,000, which stood alongside low to high-end cars. Many of SA's small, medium-sized and micro enterprises are not insured, compounding any attempts of recovery of those damaged in the unrest.
