“By Tuesday Tshwane was stable but there was still a lot of fake news circulating around,” Makhura said, adding that social media posts spreading false information made matters worse.
Makhura expressed his concerns about fake news, citing one particular video where an Ekurhuleni metro police officer asked parents to fetch their children from schools because foreign nationals were going to abduct them.
Among those killed was a taxi operator, while two people were burnt in Alex, one protestor was struck with a rock in Hillbrow, one person was shot in Kwa Thema and two others died in Coronationville.The firearms were taken from foreign shop owners who were “shooting randomly at a group of people who were roaming around with a possible intention of looting”, according to Mawela.
