The problem when people hear the word Foreign automatically its Black people from other African countries what if those people are Chinese or Europeans 🤦🏾‍♂️

Are they still alive? If yes they must b eliminated immediately without trial They were caught red handed

Criminal must be delt with no matter where they come from . A criminal is a criminal

Zimbabweans

To be honest these people are here to destroy our country foolish EFF must be happy when these things happens

VoestekForeigners

Viva foreign nationals,u are tough workers south Africans are lazy

Good report

Good job SAPS.

Blixims

I am guessing since there are no pictures and you didn't specify the country then they are most likely from a European Nation

Again, this should be classified as treason/terrorism against the state and it's infrastructure - regardless of who commits it.

NashNizzo zilevandamme Julius_S_Malema MmusiMaimane Our_DA MYANC I hope you are impressed by what's happening to our country

What is up with foreigners in South Africa or are they tryna finish our country

Don't expect help from ANC government together with its so called opposition ( EFF and DA) According to these parties your complaints are pushed by xenophobia.

You should stop saying foreign nationals..this leads to xenophobia and violence. SABC News, what is your agenda with this? How about 3 suspected criminals?

Foreigner this foreigner that, foreigner is not a person and those copper cable which are being stolen and sold to the scrapyard after scrap yard.iphelela kuphi yonke le copper? Iphekwa kuphi, Maybe kwanayo I Eskom njengoba isishaya ngalama load shedding banesandla madala side

It's xenophobic to report crime committed by foreign nationals in south africa.

Dudulani!!

That company should be closed down. How on earth we have foreigners owning companies in our country?

When we say foreign nationals are here to destroy SA they call us xenophobic...there's the answer

Mara what's happening in SA these foreigners are just here to destroy everything

Nothing on Cyril's Glencore?

HomeAffairsSA Depot all of them, documents or no documents. Businesses are NO scarce skill in SA. We are tired...

Its be because of politics we suffer,i feel we should destroy what they own so that they could understand what we fighting for.

papakeketso I am not surprised

SaaymanBarry Bring back the death penalty and kill this rascals

Hola!!!To those political parties says it's Pasha's for them to be in South Africa without papers.

voetsekeff voetsekanc voetsekDA voetsekmmusimaimane voetsekSAmedia

It's simple the government should put legislation in place that prevents the buying and selling of copper cables, basically there should be a ban...

If you don't want to report the news it's better just to keep quiet

If they were South Africans they where going to be called 3 suspects

We will not see their face because they are white

Simple solution: ban all exports of copper waste!

You are talking about copper, what about those high profiles who milk down eskom 🤷‍♂️... Corruption cleaning should Start from the top

Tell the ANC GOVT. To bring MORE thieving foreigners in SA.... their saintly inocent brothers

See, SABC, the sun doesn't fall from the sky when you point out that the criminals are foreign nationals. Very good start. You must now learn that they belong to specific countries. Next time try to be specific about their nationality, the same way you do when they excel in sport

Zimbabwean nationals you meant to say

LindaniVezi1 And they'll be given R500 bail🙄

Get rid of these bastards in RSA we are tired.

yah neh!!!!

Is this a new way of reporting news

Better

CR and his ANC +EFF they call them economic migrants busy finishing our infrastructures

Foreigners are involved everywhere with copper theft..cos these municipalities the give tenders to individuals who hire foreigners especially in Joburg..they know all vaults these cables running..sometimes even these drums are not delivered to their workshops..they skin it new

sellomatthews11 Let them be deported.😡

And they will be given bail

That's xenophobia

Monday, bail R500! Back to square 1...useless arrests!🙄

I don't think it's which report ForeignNationals 2b involved in destroying the infrastructure of the Country since we SAns love❤ our Country so much that even if we try to get something from theft we wouldn't go extra miles 2completely destroy our own infrustrcure.

Actually the company is owned by three Polish, two males and one female

Did they say foreign nationals.. Ooh oops who is xenophobic now?

Name the nationalities if your sincere. I imagine non African foreigners

Results of an ANC and EFF politics of so called African Brothers rubbish!

Finally SABC can say foreign nationals. Your prior resistance was only going to cost you your jobs shem. No institution or government that ever fought against it's citizens ever won. Citizens are the majority & always castigating them as vigilante or xenophobic is disaster recip

When do they start arrest in this crime?👇

Isn't that they are foreigners bcoz things are dysfunctional where they from? maninthemirror

Must be nice doing business here in SA.

Guptas go with billions 😀😀 I'm coming there

Bring back death penalty to deal with these things

These are our brothers who can do no wrong according to liberals. This reporting is therefore incorrect and unAfrican according to their narrative. These are saints and South Africa is beholden to them for its existence and survival. They are the Demi gods

What about Glencore we're waiting!!!

I have never seen e country that is open for abuse like SA ,No laws to fight criminality

They run from their countries which have laws to come here and commit crime. After 94' the useless MYANC left all the borders open. Atleast during apartheid there was no influx of foreigners here. Nigerians own this country.

The MYANC has really ruined this country. All of these filthy criminals from all over AFRICA come here to commit crime. They come to our country to commit crime....this makes me so mad. Than SABC radio presenters call us 'xenophobic' for wanting to put us first. 🤬

They are killing our country xem...

But we are being called xenophobic

Even the land is owned by foreigners

Charge them with TREASON! This is undermining the state. Anyone caught sabotaging power generation, crucial state infrastructure should automatically be charged with treason, because ultimately they are undermining the country's economy.

Our police are xenophobic. OperationDudula

Don't call them foreign nationals, call them EFF supporters, voters, children

Safa ilezinja

Who is buying this cable and where did they get this cable?

Police must step aside and allow mphakathi to attend to these aliens

Guys Ekhurhuleni major and their coaliation seems to be I disaster🤞 I am not xure this major knows or set food in Kazis like Tembisa, Foslo, D/Town etc. Under her Mkhukhus are mushrooming everywhere. Building hijacks in Kempton park increasing😶hah. She is farce🤞

Police must not give them food

South Africa under attack from foreign nationals, our political parties and the president have decided to ignore all the evidence. No day goes by without hearing about Foreigners stealing, killing, raping, robbing, destroying infrastructure, kidnapping, hijacking, trafficking etc
