On the 24th of April 14 immigrant owned shops in extension 6 and 7 in Rhini, Grahamstown were looted. On the same day taxi drivers and civic organisations took to the Makana Municipality to protest for service delivery, particularly road maintenance. During the protest, shops owned by foreign immigrants were broken into and looted in an alleged xenophobic attack. This video explains the general feelings from the community members, who claim that there was no planned attack but it was opportunistic criminals who took advantage of the protest
