Xenophobic Mob Forces African Immigrant Children Out of South African School

Protesters in South Africa stormed a school early one morning and prevented children of African immigrants from entering classrooms. The mob singled out Black pupils whose parents moved from other African countries and shouted insults like “go back to your bloody country.” Some students were removed from class during lessons and told to wait outside while their parents were called to collect them. Witnesses report that a South African man hurled profanity at frightened children and their families. Police arrived to control the crowd amid ongoing anti-immigration protests and xenophobic attacks. However, officers did not stop the removal of immigrant students from the school.
