The rooting out of foreigners at a Pietermaritzburg informal settlement, the looting of a spaza shop outside Chatsworth and a barricade of burning tyres near North Coast Road in Durban were among incidents which required police and security intervention on Monday night.
In the lead up to the June 30 deadline imposed by anti-migrant organisations, police and security were on high alert to prevent the civil unrest and damage experienced in KwaZulu-Natal during the July 2021 riots.
Live updates on community groups alerted security and police to foreigners coming under attack at the Hlahlagatle settlement in Bombay Road and Balambra Way in Pietermaritzburg.
