Wednesday, May 20, 2026 - Hundreds of foreign nationals, including young children, on
Tuesday, May 19, 2026, fled their homes to seek refuge at the Durban Central
Police Station in South Africa.
The group claims they are facing severe victimization,
harassment, and d3ath threats from local community members in their respective
communities following a recent anti-foreigner march.
According to those at the scene, the group said they felt unsafe returning to their homes, citing fears of possible attacks.
Some reported ongoing tensions in surrounding communities,
which they say have left them vulnerable and uncertain about their safety.
Police presence was increased at the station as officials engaged with the group to assess their concerns and determine appropriate steps to ensure their protection.
Authorities have not yet confirmed any arrests or specific
incidents linked to the alleged threat.
Community safety remains a growing concern in parts of
Durban, where sporadic tensions between residents and foreign nationals have
previously been reported.
Officials are expected to continue monitoring the situation
as discussions around security and humanitarian assistance continue.
Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
