South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is being urged to intervene in a violent campaign targeting foreign truck drivers.
About 30 trucks have been set alight, and drivers shot in recent attacks.
At least two people have died.

There is no justification for harming others. The solution is for South African truck companies to hire 80% South Africans. We don't have a pro-active government that is why we have these problems.
Ramaphosa is a sell out like Nelson Mandela
Dutch people from Holland and indians in South Africa will not let african people to unite in africa
South Africa still the only white country in africa
South Africa still occupied by dutch colonizers from Holland and indians who will liberate South Africa from dutch colonizers from Holland and Indians. Nelson Mandela and Ramaphosa sold out South Africa to Dutch colonizers from Holland and indians. The anc sold out South Africa to Dutch colonizers from Holland and Indians
South Africa is a Dutch country in africa everybody knows that
South Africa is a white country in africa everybody knows that
South Africa is a Dutch and indian country in africa
South Africa is a Dutch country in africa everybody knows that
CIA MI6 Mossad & Saudis are creating support & find the terrorists all over the globe.
Black on black racism
You do realise it's an on going event
But how can foreign nationals take jobs which are needed by locals?
Always complaining
And never tried to get a job
The masses voted for the useless and corrupt gov. that we have. The police belong to them. Farmers are murdered almost daily as well. They couldnt care less.
Should be obvious what they want, isn't it?
The trucking companies in question are South African.
They should be hiring South African truck drivers.
Neighbouring countries literally have those rules for their own countries, so why should South Africa be everyone's sugar daddy?
They hire foreign Africans for cheap labour, in order to circumvent the 70s and 80s struggles, which were a labour dispute, as much as anything else.
It's not a coincidence that just as a humane framework was achieved post 94 the country was flooded with low and semi-skilled people from other countries who are once again willing to work for slave wages.
In a country that has a chronic unemployment rate greater than Germany had when they voted for Hitler or the US during the great depression, the foreign demands on SA jobs are simply unacceptable.
And given those historic parallels I would say the South African reaction over the last 26 years has been remarkably restrained!
South Africa is a warning on open borders!
You are lying, Namibia has many South African employees and all bussines in Namibia is from South Africa, we gave Gecko a tender in Namibia, were by Gecko went with his employees.. its crime.

This fool is talking nonsense and he is not even a south African
I was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in October of 2016 when I was 33 years old. At the time of my diagnosis, I had a son who
was 14 and a daughter who was 10 years old. I was working for Allstate Insurance Company in the claims department and
was making a decent wage. After the trial, I was advised to take some personal time off to gather myself and refocus and
heal. During that time, I met a man at the tavern that later became a major person in my life, my partner Bobby. We
became close over our woes and problems in our lives and began an intimate relationship. What was not disclosed when
this happened was his status, he had HIV and didn’t tell me. Ever since then i was living with HIV on treatment but it
wasn't easy for me at all as people would get scared to come close to me if they found out i was HIV positive. But
everything changed when i watched a patient from South Africa giving a testimony on YouTube about how Dr Harvey
completely cured her HIV. i got interested and contacted Dr Harvey through his mail and that's how he prepared and sent
me some herbal products days later, after taking the medication for two weeks and few days the symptoms where all gone
and i quickly went to see my family doctor, I ran a test and it confirmed that i was HIV negative. Dr Harvey you're
really a god man and i want to thank you for completely curing me. If you want to reach Dr Harvey you can contact him on
(drharveyphytotherapy@yahoo.com) or Whatsapp: +1 (971) 666-3103
South Africa has been like this ever since Apartheid, the citizen of that county don’t and will not accept any other African citizens from the neighboring countries, so the solution is leave them their country, never do business with them. If you love your life and have family, don’t stay there and don’t visit there. Nothing new on this country.
GOD, WHEN WILL WE SEE WE ARE ONE. FROM DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIES, BUT ONE PLEASE HELP LIFT THE VAIL..
The Apartheid political leaders warned us about the murderous aggression of the South African black man. We always believed they lied because they wanted to stay in power. Our neighbouring countries also refused to believe that our black population can do anything wrong. These neighbours whent out of their way to help their poor suffering neighbours. Is this now how we repay the help the neighbouring countries offered us? Our black population should take care not to do the things that was predicted by the previous government, in order not to prove then right,
Firstly, I think I'm tired of hearing that line
"But we other African countries helped you during apartheid"
Like and so what? That shouldn't be your first point when pointing out reasons why they should desist from their dastardly acts.
Shame on south Africa for allowing this kind of unnecessary violence on foreigners
Bitterness from apartheid is killing this country …
The whole Africa fought for you shame on South Africa
It's funny how everyone talks about the drivers being attacked and forget about the core problem.
This is CRAZY
Those vayolence people they re jelous .here in south africa there is alot job .
SA is truly a terrible country. I think there is a reason why employers prefer non citizens for jobs.
Welcome to Kenya where we welcome every one south Africa is not all that anyway
South Africa better to be colonized again… no African country will help this time
fourth world country problem
africans we each-others enemies
What's wrong with you South African who are doing this? This nonsense should stop. Ignorance
This video must be reported for failing to censor the horrors visited upon these men, or earn us viewers of the extreme graphic nature of their horrendous wounds.
Al-jazerra, these are human beings. Have respect for them!!
Out of all of the news in South Africa, you choose to publish a story about violence?
Your bias is showing. Not surprised.
How tf can they tell what ethnicity a truck driver is?????????
May Angel of Wings protect all the truck drivers in South Africa along their journey
Heres a solution, end the stupid sanctions on zimbabwe so they can fix their economy. those sanctions started all of this
Do they the citizens of SA want to work?
The west will not spare a minute to put on sanctions if the victims were whites and now my question is what are the real causes of Zimbabwe sanctions?
South Africa at it again.
South Africans only call blacks foreigners. Never the white man
How Is this different from apartheid?
South Africa as a country is morally bankrupt. It’s not too long that SA will look like other war torn countries.
And this is supposed to be on e a best country in Africa?
The population is routing Their anger To the wrong bodies
The government is to be targeted
Rwanda is a model country
Cheers
