Voices of the Foreigners Wives said that it will proceed with their protest on Friday at the City Hall. 

The organisation claims that the municipality has not done anything about xenophobic attacks in Grahamstown.

“Our homes and our shops continue to be looted and destroyed. Our husbands have not been able to return to their families. Our children are still being hidden at home.” VFW wrote in a statement. 

“We still do not feel safe on the streets. We are still being insulted on the streets. Rumours are still being circulated about our husbands. We have lost everything and we have had no income for a week.”

The Economic Freedom Fighters and the Unemployment Peoples’ Movement are reported to join the protest.
