The Inkatha Freedom Party has alluded to social exclusion and the breakdown of law and order for the recent incidents of looting in Durban.

This as the latest xenophobic attacks has left many foreign-nationals homeless.

IFP National Chairperson Blessed Gwala says the IFP believes that the looting and the attacks on the foreign nationals is caused by the poverty that is prevalent throughout the country especially in KwaZulu Natal where the service delivery is a non-starter by the rulling party.

 

Almost 2,000 foreign nationals from Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Burundi have been displaced as a result of the violence and four have died.
