Zimbo's voted with their feet

Two Zimbabweans who were accused of robbing people at the Choba informal settlement near Olievenhoutbosch have been beaten to death.

The fatal xenophobic attack comes less than 48 hours after Tshwane executive mayor Dr Gwen Ramokgopa condemned widespread vigilante attacks on foreigners in the metro.

Police have appealed to local communities to refrain from taking the law into their own hands after Saturday's attack.

Wierdabrug police spokesperson Captain Agnes Huma said one of the three Zimbabweans - fearing for his life after his friends were killed - handed himself over to the police on Saturday.

It is alleged that three Zimbabweans held several people at gunpoint on Friday, demanding money and cellphones.... Pretoria News
