Elikya, una solicitante de asilo documentada de la República Democrática del Congo, describió cómo hombres armados quemaron la casa de su familia en Greenwood Park el 25 de junio, a pesar de su estatus legal.

Elikya declaró a Daily Maverick que ella y su familia, que llegaron a Sudáfrica en 1997, huyeron después de que unos 20 hombres los amenazaran y posteriormente lanzaran un cóctel molotov al garaje. La familia dejó atrás muebles y pertenencias. Elikya afirmó que la puerta cerrada con llave demostraba la intención de hacer daño a los residentes que se encontraban en el interior. Añadió que la policía no respondió con prontitud a las llamadas de auxilio. El ataque dejó a la familia dispersa en diferentes lugares. Elikya señaló que el incidente demostró que los refugiados documentados también están siendo blanco de ataques en medio de los disturbios relacionados con marzo.
