This is news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes the shops closed for business in south africa have been under a brand new to be chinas bit township of soweto killed just owned by foreign nationals the government says its concerned and has urged communities to refrain from the criminal activity. And the most vulnerable of the victims of mondays conflict will hear from the children pointed by nightmares of the fighting. Then is kenya on track to ridding its every instinct of doping. Hello im christine want to welcome to news africa im glad. Theres been a series of Looting Incidents in south africa residents from the township of soweto last safe to have gone on an overnight spree on wednesday targeting shops run by
foreign nationals this video circulating on social media purports to show a mob Ransacked Shop Policing continued on thursday morning this figure taken in Soweto Steep District shows a separate mob these other african government has on day of the raids. Were going to go over to soweto now way to seem to malaya is standing by he is the director of the console him off refugees and migrants in south africa its an ngo base and it johannesburg welcome says africa day full so you were at the scene in that deep blue for this morning where one of those shops was attacked and i believe you actually standing outside of it what did you see. This scene now seems to be calm to cool by its not guaranteed whether their lives of the nation are safe but the police have been not around in this scene but this situation is very much bad
because almost all the foreign shop has been closed down theres been looted and theres nothing more left in those shops ok and you have spoken to some of the victims what do they plan to do now. Are what are you gauge some of the foreign nation out of owning some of the shops in the. Areas they have now bucketed the area feeling for their lives because they think their life comes fast so what theyre thinking of doing is to go big maybe to other areas where these kind of are texans you know for big artists are taking place where they feel like their life will be safe and be protected so theyll go into their field of friends families so that for the time being they can be living with them day ok and what exactly are you doing for all of these people i know that youre involved with youre going to say she won if its have you put in place what we have to need to do is to engage the u. N. H. C. R. Of which we have already made contact with to see how best can we best assist those
who have been displaced and from day out best can we start engaging on issues of free integration and building. Process so that people that maybe can be back in the community and also to educate the communities about their rights or for if you do sometimes because of my good what you know how to do so that they can understand what kind of people theyre living with in the communities. Is this the xenophobia that weve seen in south africas past when foreign nationals are attacked is it that because i read a Government Statement condemning this new thing but this statement didnt use the word santa phobia but is this what it is. Christine is very much surprising from the south african perspective because in march this year the government as i doctored the National Action plan to combat racism what i shall discriminations you know phobia and related intolerance apart when these things
kind of attacks happen government authorities and that 11th authorities they shy away of using the words in a phobia whereas the National Action plans was months and is not for the i did to fight against one of the areas and one of the problems that normally takes place in our communities so we are starting to wonder when you see that the government will start calling these actions you know. If they call it what right way they would be able to develop the process and started using terms of addressing it because most of the time decide the issues of Economic Development and high rate of unemployment and that question is to us as they can so tell me what if you said migrants if the government and that 11 to authorities they know that these are not caused by Economy Constitution and high rate of unemployment why are they not doing anything about it these being started in 2008 up to now these people say in the very same thing off unemployment economy issues if they know that those are related to economy going to implement a why are they not doing something about each.
