Ngizwe Mchunu Sparks Outrage Over Alleged Assault and Remarks on Foreigners
By Staff Reporter
Ngizwe Mchunu is facing backlash after allegedly saying foreign nationals should leave Durban within six days.
The comments came after a video circulated on social media showing him reportedly assaulting a 21-year-old foreign student in South Africa.
In the video, Mchunu is seen confronting the student, which has caused public anger and renewed concern over attacks on foreign nationals. The video has not been independently verified, but it has already gone viral.
He is also reported to have said that some people are “hungry for the blood of foreigners,” a statement that has been widely criticised as dangerous and inflammatory.
Human rights groups and members of the public have called for investigations and urged authorities to take action.
They say such behaviour, if confirmed, promotes violence and harms community relations.
Police have not yet released an official statement on the incident, while the matter continues to attract strong public attention.
