The premier of KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa has set up a reconciliation council comprising prominent members from the society to address the racial tensions between the Indian community of Phoenix and their black neighbours in three surrounding areas.
Premier Sihle Zikalala joined National Police Minister Bheki Cele in briefing the media on Tuesday morning about investigations into the deaths of more than 30 people in the Indian township of Phoenix during the unrest that plagued the area fortnight ago.
Zikalala said one of the key objectives of the Social Cohesion and Moral Regeneration Council (SCMRC) is to develop a comprehensive strategy to address feelings of marginalisation and exclusion based on race.
