Foreign national business owners woke up to shock as Soweto residents in different areas have been up in arms demanding that they leave the country.
This comes after several reports that foreign nationals are allegedly selling fake and substandard goods to their consumers.
These allegations have been slowly surfacing on social media with many people believing that their health is at risk.
As a response to these allegations, Soweto residents have been looting foreign nationals’ shops in different parts of Soweto with the ultimate aim of them leaving the country.

“We can confirm that there has been looting in different parts of Soweto but the police are aware of the matter and are currently attending to it,” said captain Mzwakhe Khoza.
One of the first areas in Soweto where the looting allegedly took place was in Jabavu, where residents allegedly started looting shops in the early hours of Wednesday morning, taking foreign business owners’ groceries and fridges.
In the midst of looting, it is reported that one individual died while several others may be injured but police are still to confirm after further investigation.
