BACKGROUND

South Africa continuously experience increase levels of lawlessness, impunity, intolerance and disregard for the rule of law. This has manifested itself in community protests, industrial actions, land invasions, defacing of statues and violence against foreign nationals. There has also been an increase in incidents of incitement through the use of social media and other platforms without serious repercussions. Most of these activities were characterised by extreme violence.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

The Government of South Africa has decided to act decisively and swiftly to stabilise the situation. The JCPS developed a Five Pillar Action Plan to address the attacks on Foreign Nationals and to create stability in the country. The NATJOINTS activated the NATJOC and PROVJOC’s to manage the Action Plan.
