 FIVE ARRESTED FOR SHOP BREAKING AND LOOTING IN MPUMALANGA Police have arrested five suspects, aged 14 to 27, for allegedly breaking into container tuck shops in Woody Glen, Hammarsdale, west of Durban, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.   KZN police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said officers responded to reports of people breaking into tuck shops.  One suspect was arrested inside a shop, while four others were cornered as they tried to flee. They face charges of malicious damage to property and business burglary and are expected in court soon. Netshiunda said police cannot rule out that the suspects were “opportunists taking advantage of Tuesday’s marches against undocumented foreign nationals”.   Netshiunda urged march participants to refrain from criminal activity. “Police are deployed to safeguard the marches, but will enforce the law where necessary.” SAPS said the overall situation is calm, but confirmed other arrests linked to protest.   Gau...

SOUTH AFRICA REPATRIATES OVER 25,000 AHEAD OF JUNE 30 ANTI-IMMIGRANT ULTIMATUM. (PHOTO).


 South Africa repatriates over 25,000 ahead of June 30 anti-immigrant ultimatum


More than 25,000 people have been repatriated in recent weeks ahead of planned anti-immigrant protests in South Africa, with many others still awaiting departure, AFP reported.


The outflows come as thousands seek to leave over safety fears after citizen-led groups issued an unofficial ultimatum for undocumented foreigners to exit the country by June 30.


Several governments, including Nigeria, Malawi, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, have organised voluntary repatriation flights and buses after weeks of protests targeting foreigners.


The latest figures mark a sharp increase from last week, when authorities said 15,000 Malawians had been processed. At least 988 Ghanaians and about 600 Nigerians left by plane earlier this month.


Anti-illegal immigration groups have rallied behind the unauthorised Tuesday deadline, calling on undocumented migrants to leave or face consequences.


They have organised a series of marches across the country.


Mobs have meanwhile gone from house to house telling migrants to leave or demanding to check their documentation.


Police told AFP the victims included two Mozambicans, an Ethiopian and a Malawian.


Heightened security fears have driven thousands of migrants to gather in makeshift in southeastern Durban, the tourist hub of Cape Town, and the financial capital Johannesburg waiting for transport to their home countries.
