Everson Luhanga, Sandton: The attacks on foreign nationals seem to be calming. But the attitude of the police is not helping our foreign brothers and sisters.



Police have stopped responding to crime scenes as they are busy bothering and arresting these poor people. They even knock on the doors of private homes asking if a foreign black citizen lives at the place. Why?

I sometimes fail to understand such behaviour from our police force.

These people really don't do any harm and are thrown in the police van like criminals. The minister of police must review this behaviour.

They must fight crime and not demand money from Malawian gardeners and Zimbabwean maids who have families to look after.
