Mayor Escorted as Protest Turns Violent | Johannesburg News
from Johannesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Mayor Cyril Xaba was forcibly removed by police in Berea after a violent protest erupted as he tried to calm tensions between locals and foreign nationals—many fleeing Congo’s violence—who had set up tents outside a refugee center after being turned away from a police station. Organized by radical group March and March, the demonstrators demanded mass deportations, even suggesting women and children be sent back while men face down South Africans—a chilling call that sparked arrests and political outrage. With police forming human barricades just days prior after stone-throwing clashes, the crisis highlights deepening social fractures and urgent humanitarian needs.
