The SAHRC calls for an end to violence against foreign nationals in KwaZulu-Natal, urging peaceful resolutions.
The South African Human Rights Commission has called for calm and an immediate end to violence targeting foreign nationals, warning that the attacks threaten South Africa’s constitutional values and social cohesion.
The Commission said it was “deeply alarmed” by reports and videos circulating on social media showing violent attacks that appear to target non-nationals, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal.
“These incidents threaten South Africa’s constitutional values of ubuntu, dignity, equality, and the rule of law, as well as social cohesion,” the Commission said.
The SAHRC stressed that while communities have the right to raise grievances and protest, such actions must remain peaceful and lawful.
