Acting National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane issued a strong warning against lawlessness amid protests targeting illegal foreigners, saying that only authorities can enforce immigration laws.
Dimpane reiterated that no one or group is allowed to take the law into their own hands.
The warning comes after deadly unrest linked to anti-immigrant tensions has been reported in parts of South Africa, including the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Gauteng.
In Mossel Bay’s KwaNonqaba area, violence broke out last week on Friday, May 29, in the Asla Park informal settlement, where around 55 shacks were set alight.
