Lawyers for Human Rights have called on police to protect foreign traders who are closing their businesses after allegedly being threatened by the Greater Gauteng Business Forum.

The lawyers’ group’s Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh says terrified traders are packing up in areas like Freedom Park, Ramaphosa, Kagiso, Diepsloot, Tembisa and Orlando East in and around Johannesburg.

He says locals, motivated by xenophobia, have distributed eviction letters to foreign-owned businesses.
