Kouga Calms After Spaza Shop Riots | Johannesburg News
Description
After a tense Thursday of unrest in Jeffreys Bay and the Kouga area, police have restored calm with heavy presence and special units on standby. Foreign-owned spaza shops remain closed as a precaution, while investigators hunt for stolen goods and those who incited the violence — with 69 arrests already made. A house fire mistakenly linked to the protests was actually caused by faulty wiring. Three injured individuals received medical care, and some foreign nationals were placed in safe housing. All suspects are in custody, facing court Monday. Police commissioner praises the restored peace but warns that lawlessness won’t be tolerated — community leaders are urged to help recover stolen property and keep the peace.
