Over 900 arrested after nationwide policing operations

Deputy National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Tebello Mosikili says that following nationwide demonstrations against undocumented migrants, most protests remained peaceful, but some individuals exploited the situation to commit crime. She says police responded swiftly to incidents of looting, robbery and public violence, and more than 900 people were arrested during the operations. Charges include public violence, robbery at spaza shops, and offences linked to harbouring undocumented migrants.
