NATIONAL NEWS - Foreigners in Pinetown believe that the xenophobic attacks on them are nothing more than criminal acts.
On Wednesday afternoon most stores around the taxi ranks and Hill Street were closed as foreigners fear for their lives.
The stalls on the streets also stood empty as most foreign vendors have decided to go back to their homes. Mozambican national, James Mahalamba who have been residing in South Africa for 10 years said he has decided to go back home.
“I can not live like this, I now live in fear. I came to South Africa to make a living and earn some money for my family.
“We are suffering back at home, the money I make here I send it to my family so that they do not go to bed on empty stomach.
An emotional Mahalamba said he does mot understand why they are being targeted.
