Tension on the streets of Durban as raids, arrests and business closures unfold in CBD.
On Wednesday, life in Durban appeared largely unchanged, with most businesses operating as normal and streets carrying their usual midweek pace of commuters, traders and shoppers.
However, in parts of the city, a noticeably different scene unfolded as several foreign-owned shops remained closed, with doors shuttered and security gates pulled down during trading hours.
Police operations were also visible in certain areas, with officers conducting targeted raids and making arrests of individuals suspected of being in the country without valid documentation.
This comes after various demonstrations by March and March in the city, which called for illegal migrants to leave the country.
