SA leaders vows to find lasting solutions to violence

Pretoria-South Africa’s leaders used the Freedom Day celebrations on Monday to reiterate that the recent attacks of people from other African countries has no place in the country.

The wave of violence that claimed seven lives in recent weeks has been brought to a halt, according to Gauteng Premier David Makhura.

“Today we can say the violence against our fellow brothers and sisters has stopped,” Makhura said to applause from the hundreds who had gathered at the Union Building’s southern lawns for the event.
