QUITER major roads, some section of men and ladies enjoyed a drink or two and some spaza shops closed.
This follows the protesters who marched countrywide demanding the undocumented illegals to leave the South Africa.
Fears were that the marches would turn into looting frenzy and businesses properties burnt, but police presence helped to diffuse the situation.
Protesters marched through the Jozi CBD on Tuesday afternoon, and met what was suspected as being foreigners and were confronted by the crowd.
Fortunately, a group shielded them from being assaulted by intervening and escorted them to safety.
Meanwhile, the marchers have given Government an ultimatum- ‘this is not for the last time’.
“We shall host marches on every Thursday”, they said.
They’ve warned they will await a response from Gvt on jobs, housing being allocated to illegal foreigners, declaring “there will be blood and Government will be responsible for that spillage”.
In Alexandra, a looter was shot dead between 9th and 10th Avenue for trying to force himself in a spaza shop owned by a foreigner.
With minor incidents having taken place countrywide- the message is growing thicker as frustrations looms amongst locals.
“Don’t try us Government” protesters kept warning.
Many residents at the Diepkloof, Nancefield, Jabulani and Merafe hostels also attended the march with the indunas.
Although it was business as usual for some, the economy on the other hand felt some negativity.
