Calm has returned to the Johannesburg CBD (Central Business District) following a protest that was sparked by the death of a 28-year-old man during a search and seizure operation.

Scores of protestors took to the streets in anger blocking Nugget Street and Mooi Street with burning tyres.

The protestors accused the police of killing the man.

The man is yet to be named and the police were investigating the cause of his death.

The Johannesburg CBD was a scene of clashes between foreigners and police on Monday afternoon.

This comes after a group of foreign nationals took to the streets after a man collapsed during a search-and-seizure operation at a residential building.

The police managed to remove the barricades that were put up by the protestors.

The debris from the burning tyres was cleared from the road enabling traffic to move with ease during the Monday afternoon peak.

Gauteng Province police commissioner Max Masha: “Early in this morning around 03:30am our police received information about somebody who was dealing in drugs in this area…”

He said during the search-and-seizure operation “one person collapsed and passed on”.

Masha added that the protesters damaged four police vehicles.

Johannesburg police said 13 people were arrested following the violent protest.

The police said people should refrain from taking the law into their own hands, as it's illegal.

Remember when whites were in power during apartheid there were hardly even Nigerians allowed to be in SA. Today we are told whites love them.

Cracks me up when they say the whites love them .The Agberos better bite their nails and hope that the DA don't miraculously win elections one day because "securing the borders" is one of their campaign slogans..we'll see then how far can that "love" extends.
