The Presidency is concerned about reports that some foreign nationals may be fleeing the country due to fears of possible xenophobic attacks.
President Jacob Zuma appeals to South Africans as well as foreign nationals, especially those from the African continent, to unite and work together to isolate and report to the police, those elements who may be seeking to sow mayhem in communities.
"The 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup has demonstrated fully that South Africans are warm, peace-loving and hospitable people. The support provided to Ghana and other African soccer teams was impressive and demonstrated African unity in its true sense. This spirit must continue to prevail in our country. Let us isolate all elements who may have sinister agendas, who may want to create havoc and sow pain and destruction in communities, especially foreign nationals residing in our country. We appeal for calm, tolerance and unity amongst all".
The police and other law enforcement agencies are doing everything in their power to attend to the situation.
