Violence against foreigners escalated this past weekend amid the ANC president’s statement that action will be taken against the perpetrators.

Even more businesses were targeted over the weekend and police rubber bullets and grenades could not stop the angry residents from continuing with their looting.

Police have confirmed that a renewed wave of xenophobia has erupted, and many foreigners’ shops and property have been looted and stripped of their goods.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian government is considering retaliation by nationalizing the larger businesses there. Institutions such as MTN and Shoprite could possibly be in the running.

The xenophobic attacks in Gauteng on foreigners, and the looting of their businesses have now taken on an international turn.

Nigeria is considering nationalizing businesses such as Shoprite and MTN.

In its latest report, Bloomberg pointed out the rough times that might await South Africa if the most popular businesses, such as MTN, might be nationalized.

The Nigerian “All Progressive Congress Party” chairman said in a video recording also broadcast on the radio and TV channels that it would be advantageous for Nigeria to nationalize thriving South African businesses because of their insensitive actions against Nigerian businessmen .

The focus is clearly on MTN, which has a profitable industry in Nigeria, and that may even include Shoprite’s stores.

MTN has invested millions of Rand in the West African state, and is now becoming the first possibility of nationalization.

Rising anti-mass immigration violence in Gauteng calls on political leaders to ask for military assistance to bring violence under-control – They speak out against attacks on foreigners but remain silent on farm murders

Gauteng political leaders are considering calling on the military to stop vandalism and looting in the province.

According to Gauteng Prime Minister David Makhura, criminal elements are responsible for looting shops and have been warned that the military may be called in to address the problem.

This follows after Ramaphosa requested police to bring the gunmen under control. He spoke out against attacks on foreigners but remained silent, among other things, on the farm murders.

The looters have already plundered, or burned down, many stores of foreigners in Pretoria and Johannesburg, and even children have stolen the stores without anyone being prosecuted.
