The City of Cape Town’s Metro Police say they will be on high alert with conjunction with the South African Police Service for any outbreaks of xenophobic violence.
According to Councillor Dumisani Ximbi the spread of xenophobic attacks from Alexandra through Gauteng has put the City on guard to make sure similar incidents do not occur in Cape Town.
“The Metro Police and the SAPS are identifying possible flash points and placing units on standby so that we can respond pre-emptively before any large mobilisation can take place,” says Ximbi.
They are appealing to communities and community leader to not promote violence and intolerance and should report any incidents of xenophobia against refugees and foreign nationals immediately.
