The building from where they allegedly sold drugs was also set alight by the mob.


Police had to close off traffic on Bloed street, where the suspects were caught.

Tshwane emergency services workers, who were called in to extinguish the fire, were chased by the crowd from doing their work.

According to an eyewitness operating a clothing shop in the street, chaos broke out after one of the suspects tried to sell drugs to a woman.

The drugs were stuffed inside a wig, which was handed over to the woman.

Eyewitnesses said the woman was surprised to discover a white powder wrapped inside a plastic inside the wig.

Wanting to establish if the powder was really a drug, she showed it a group of taxi drivers, who confirmed that it was indeed drugs.

There was suddenly a commotion when an angry mob attacked the seller, who was identified as a Nigerian national.

The man was badly beaten with fists and kicked until he fell on the ground. He was then ordered to identify the person who sent him to sell drugs.

The alleged mastermind, who was inside a block of flat, tried to run away from the fuming crowd. However, he was cornered and beaten up by the mob.

The two were rescued by the police, who arrested them.

The situation continued to be tense as the police asked bystanders to leave the scene.

The hostile crowd prohibited a Pretoria News photographer from taking pictures and intimidated bystanders not to take pictures with their cellphones.
The so called xenophobic attack is far from ending.

how does that affect South Africa? And by the way Zambian food prices are currently skyrocketing,after they tried to boycot some SA products. With the drought they're experiencing it will get even worse,that a revolution my take place. Some companies are thinking of reducing production,as a their government humbly approached our government begging that we supply them with electricity (In hope that will lower production input and make end products much cheaper). That's what happens when you think you can live without South Africa and it's efficient industries ,you bleed without even being sanctioned. Hopefully we will help them,as they are our blood and real brothers (BaLozi tribes of Zambia,where once South Africans but left due pre-colonisation conflict that was happening)

Nigeria is not Zambia .

We amply produce our own food....

Nigeria and South Africa need each other - period.

South Africa will be treated like leprosy patient. The name is irritating to the ears of Africans. They haven't seen anything yet. They will be deserted like plague whenever they stumble..No country is an island of its own. Even U.S, U.K, China still fall back on other countries to tango..

you're a fat fool. south africa is as useless as the P in PSYCHOLOGY
not fat,but the reason for overweight problem in SA is because of rising standards of living. Availabilty of food,affordability of cars by many and home based entertainments,are the main cause of that. Many America,UK,India,China,etc are also experiencing that. Nigeria will also experience that if Jesus comes back,resulting in standards of living increases there for average nigerian.

Only a callous overambitious and insensitive parent will hear what this organizers have to say and would still push their wards to attend the conference nonetheless. Thank goodness they didnt make the mistake of attending. The future is bright for them already with or without the SA exposure.
