Dube-Ncube condemns violence and attacks on foreign nationals"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>KZN MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Nomusa Dube -Ncube, has urged councillors to hold urgent meetings with communities, as part of efforts to restore peace and stability in townships around Durban, where protests and acts of violence seem to be spiralling out of control.<\/p>\n<p>Dube-Ncube\u2019s directive to councillors come as law enforcement agencies struggle to control the spate of community protests, which in some instances,\u00a0 resulted into incidents of attacks on foreign nationals including torching and looting of their shops.<\/p>\n<p>Since last night shocking incidents of violence have been witnessed in KwaMashu, allegedly sparked by rumours, spread through social media networks that some foreign nationals are involved in the abduction of women and school children.\u00a0 Shops have been torched and police had to intervene to evacuate foreign nationals.\u00a0 This morning the violence spread to neighbouring townships such as Ntuzuma, inanda where reports surfaced that school children were being forced out of school to join protest actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appeal to all councillors to play an active role in calming the situation and end the violence that is currently taking place.\u00a0 Communities are urged to exercise restraint and raise their concerns through their local leaders so that they can be responded to.\u00a0 Any issues of concern to communities must be resolved peacefully and through dialogue.\u00a0\u00a0 Violence and taking the law to your own hands can only make the situation worse\u201d said Dube-Ncube<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also appeal to those spreading false information, with no evidence to back it, through social media, to desist from doing so, as their misleading information appear to be behind the disturbance of peace in these townships.\u00a0 We call on the police to investigate the sources of these false and reckless rumours and charge those responsible for these hoax gossips that have given rise to violence in our communities.\u00a0 Social media cannot be used as a tool for fanning the flames of violence.\u00a0 Those doing so must refrain as this is a serious criminal offence.\u00a0 It is very sad that this is happening during the Africa Month\u201d Dube-Ncube added.<\/p>\n<p>We urged the police to remain on full alert and community leaders to work with councillors to restore peace and order and educate communities about the dangers of fake news.\u00a0\u00a0 Dube-Ncube who is also a Member of the Executive responsible for supporting Ethekwini Municipality, has also condemned the violence and called for unity and cohesion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Issued by the Ministry of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs in KwaZulu-Natal: <\/strong><strong>For more information contact: KZN Cogta spokesperson Lennox
