Xenophobia spills over into Mpumalanga

The xenophobia in Gauteng spilled over into Mpumalanga on Wednesday.

"When we got to Extension 16 (of of Embalenhle), we found that two shops and a car belonging to a Somalian businessman had been burnt to ashes," said Evander police spokesperson Constable Sibusiso Mbuli.

While police attended that scene, they were informed of violent outbreaks occurring in nearby Leslie and had to call for back-up to be sent there.
