Illegal foreigners throwing objects from hijacked buildings, say it!

Fix your caption : foreigners started throwing stones at Marchers. Say it right.

Illegal foreigners provoking South African citizens who are protesting peacefully

Talk about provocation….i pray that the guys exercise restraint…..sizibuya kodwa

Why is it so hard to call it for what it is and say " illegal foreigners" rather than saying "nearby residents "

They should have taught these invaders lesson so that they can cry xenophobia properly

People are so desperate for things to go wrong with these marches including the foreigners who reside in those buildings. Throwing those stones at the protesters they were hoping for serious altercation with violence so they can cry victims.

We are being provoked in our own country and when we retaliate they’ll cry Xenophobia!

@Phislash A kere la bona??

You know it’s illegal foreigners who did that but you’ll never label it the way it is. Captured and biased media 🚮

In short they’re provoking them.

They’re on hiding on the roof @SAPoliceService @SANDF_ZA

It goes to show these kwerekweres r not afraid of us,imagine the bravery of provoking so many south Africans in their country 🙆‍♂️😲, when we retaliate CNN and AL Jazeera will calling us xenophobic and barberic

These foreigners are provoking South Africans as usual.

They always provoke us like in East London @CrimeWatch_RSA

The eff followers are gonna steal this video and claim south Africans have started attacking foreigners

You see who is lawless, your fav ILLEGALS, mxa😏

Foreigners are throwing stones at South Africans.

So now they are being provoked?

"residents" Illegal immigrants who have hijacked the buildings

Imagine the lunacy and idiotic nature of this? You are on top of a hijacked building & illegal immigrants and you throw stones at marchers because you know you will be defended by police? We really are hosting the worst people here.

This is what is called a "False Flag". Today's marches have been peaceful all across the country. This mess started when some illegal immigrants started throwing bottles down at the marchers from high up in the buildings

@SAPoliceService you have deployed at your maximum with 600 million spent but you still can't deal with illegal immigrants stoning SANs from top of a hijacked building? Are you allergic to dealing with illegal immigrants?

@TimesLIVE Where’s the honesty? “…residents in nearby flats”? It’s ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

The illegals dwelling in our country are hooligans shem. Why would anyone attack a peaceful march if they’re in fact documented?

@Qlyv_Mydear So it’s not xenophobia when they attach us?

Trying to disrupt peaceful match? Why vele?

@ntsikimazwai Provocation and you’ll find the likes of @ntsikimazwai reposting whereas the same people she’s defending are the ones who are attacking peaceful South African marchers.

EFF really destroyed this country, look at the confidence of illegals

@limpopo_san @TimesLIVE @SAPoliceService Where are the drones & swift arrests? Foreigners stone SA marchers in front of police from hijacked flats — yet no action. Citizens attacked in their own country @Prof_Cachalia @GovernmentZA ?

First time hearing South African media reporting the situation as it is and not trying to paint South Africans as vigilantes. We thank you 🇿🇦

Provocation

In a Hijacked building nogal

These are who media have been portraying as innocent. At least they showed themselves and buildings they are in

We need our army to go to these buildings and flush out all the illegal foreigners
