He has called for an emergency meeting with the Ministers of State Security and Home Affairs before Freedom Day this week.
“The situation appears to be spiraling out of control with violent attacks on Zimbabweans in both Mamelodi and Soshanguve,” said Shumba. “Roadblocks were set up in those areas and mobs of rampaging locals threatened Zimbabwean exiles.”
He added there were unconfirmed reports that two Zimbabweans died in the recent violence.
