“Trucks with South African registration plates have been stoned in Mozambique. A volatile crowd of about 200 Mozambicans has barricaded the N4 about four kilometres east of the Resano Garcia border post, where there is a truck stop,” reported Corridor Gazette on Friday.

“It is suspected that this action in related to the Xenophobic attacks which have erupted in various areas of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng this week.”

Trac, a company which is responsible for the 570km of the road between Solomon Mahlangu off-ramp in Tshwane and the Port of Maputo in Mozambique, placed a warning on the protest action on its website.

A traveller who en route to Nelspruit from Maputo at around 9:30 on Friday morning told the website that: “The crowd let us pass because we had a Mozambican-registered car.

South African rapper and music entrepreneur Nhlamulo Baloyi known professionally as Nota Baloyi has accused Zimbabweans in his country of failing to stand with the late xenophobia victim Elvis Nyathi because of a lack of unity. "They (Zimbabweans) couldn't even organise that march. If you can take all Zimbabweans working in South Africa and you want to stand up and say one of our own is not going to be killed like a dog. We are going to march. We would have seen a march. They saw one of their brothers being killed and they did nothing. And for me, they have lost their humanity."

Cyril Ramaphosa letter to South Africans: ‘Fight crime, not migrants’

By Cyril Ramaphosa We have seen people being stopped on the street by private citizens and being forced to produce identification to verify their immigration status. We have seen some political leaders making unscientific statements about immigrants to exploit people’s grievances for political gain. We have seen marches being led on people’s homes and their dwellings raided for evidence of criminal activity. We have seen people being attacked, hurt and even killed because of how they looked or because they have a particular accent. This was how the apartheid oppressors operated.
Gardener Mbhodazwe Nyathi's body was sprawled on Thubelihle Street in Diepsloot, metres from his home. He had been killed the night before, allegedly by a mob.
