Foreign nationals operating businesses in central Durban say they are afraid but have vested their trust in law enforcement authorities to protect them against the controversial Operation Dudula.
“I’m not allowed to tell you the exact buildings we were going to visit or any specifics because we would be alerting the criminals, but we are against the selling of drugs, the hijacking of buildings and the forced prostitution of minors by foreigners.”
“The only reason we postponed the launch is because we didn’t get permission from the city. They didn’t have enough manpower on the ground. It has nothing to do with Nhlanhla because he would have loved to see the movement grow, with or without him being here.”“Are we scared? Yes.
I understand people wanting to root out criminality but to specifically target foreigners is irresponsible.“From what I’ve seen on TV and social media, I’m scared of this Dudula thing.
