Calmaria retorna a Jeffreys Bay após violência contra imigrantes

Sessenta e nove pessoas compareceram ao tribunal na segunda-feira após os violentos protestos anti-imigrantes da semana passada em Jeffreys Bay, que resultaram no saque de 23 lojas. Desde então, a calma retornou às comunidades afetadas.

Os acusados fizeram sua primeira aparição no Tribunal de Magistrados de Humansdorp em 20 de julho de 2026, sob acusações de violência pública e invasão de propriedade ligadas aos protestos de 16 de julho. Sessenta réus primários foram liberados mediante advertência, enquanto outros nove com condenações anteriores permanecem sob custódia. O caso foi adiado para 23 de outubro.

O prefeito de Kouga, Hattingh Bornman, condenou os saques e a violência, declarando que não há justificativa para a desordem. Ele agradeceu à polícia e a outros órgãos por restabelecerem a ordem em Ocean View, Pellsrus e Madiba Bay.

Os moradores expressaram opiniões divergentes. Um proprietário estrangeiro de loja afirmou que a maioria dos locais recebia bem os negócios, enquanto outro morador chamou os manifestantes presos de heróis que defendem os sul-africanos.
