Pretoria - More than 300 people have been arrested in connection with widespread attacks on foreign nationals and looting, Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba said on Sunday.
“So far, 307 suspects have been arrested in connection with attacks on foreigners and public violence across the country,” said Gigaba in Pretoria.
He warned people inciting violence against foreigners that the law would catch up with them.
“We want to issue a stern warning to those who lend themselves to acts of public violence. We will find you and you will be dealt with to the full might of the law, “ said Gigaba.
“You will be arrested and sentenced accordingly. We warn especially young young people, as having a criminal record can disrupt their lives.”
