“Three tables were burnt down and two foreign nationals were stabbed. Those stabbed were taken to hospital in a stable condition. A number of foreign nationals are now gathered at the Diakonia offices for refugees in Durban. They want the UN to intervene in their fate,” said Maphumulo.
A public violence case was opened and is being investigated by Durban Central police. “The police have increased presence in Durban Central to look for the suspects and also to ensure stability. No arrests have been made at this stage,” he said.
