Now that I have your attention, it was actually
South Africans who stabbed the Somali man to death but you care less now don't you because he isn't Arab?
Sad because this is true for most of you.
Johannesburg — A Somali man was stabbed to death in Greenfields, Port Elizabeth, on Thursday, the third murder in the area this week, Eastern Cape police said.
The man was stabbed in the head, chest and abdomen, Captain Stanley Jarvis said.
"It is alleged that a group of people went to the Somalian's residence and there was a confrontation between them and the Somalian."
The man was taken to hospital, where he died. The motive for the attack was not yet known and no arrests had been made.
Police said the attack was not linked to the protests in the northern areas of Port Elizabeth.
Jarvis said a case of murder and public violence had been opened.
Police on Thursday were patrolling informal settlements in the northern part of Port Elizabeth after two days of unrest.
The unrest was sparked by the murders of two men and the arrests of community leaders. On Tuesday, police arrested three community leaders from Greenfields and Vastrap for the murders of two men accused of robbing a spaza shop.
After the arrests, residents blockaded roads with rocks, poles, bushes, bricks, and burning tyres, said Jarvis. Police used rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse the crowd. Twelve people -- five minors and seven adults -- were arrested. They appeared in court on Wednesday and were released on a warning.
On Wednesday, violence flared up in Cleary Park and Timothy Valley.
Jarvis said this was a spill-over from Greenfields and Vastrap.
Ten people were arrested in Cleary Park for public violence after looting foreign-owned shops. They blockaded roads, burnt tyres and threw stones at passing vehicles.
Jarvis on Wednesday said the crowd became "very aggressive" and police again used rubber bullets and stun grenades.
Timothy Valley residents also looted shops and barricaded roads. Police helped Somalian shop owners pack their goods and escorted them to places of safety. Jarvis said most residents had returned to their homes on Thursday.
