Tanzanians are protesting in Johannesburg after a citizen died during a SAPS raid in JHB CBD. Reports reveal he swallowed his illegal drugs.
In case you’re wondering what’s happening in Joburg, we are here to clarify. Tanzanians are protesting on the streets after one of their citizens residing in SA died during a raid by SAPS.
According to reports, SAPS raided a JHB CBD and forced their way into a room where a Tanzanian man named Omari Athumani Hamisi was staying. Unbeknownst to them, the man swallowed the illegal drugs in his possession in fear of being caught.
Police also found an undisclosed amount of cash, dagga, and a white substance believed to be drugs in the room. While accompanying them to room 222 Panorama, the man became weak and died. He was reportedly certified dead on the scene. Fellow Tanzanians blamed his death on the SA police and began violent protests.

Without fear of being called a xenophobic person, foreigners don't respect our laws and law enforcers.
JHB CBD situation shows that foreigners need to leave SA while we fix our country.
Locals have died in the hands of police, we never destroyed infrastructure. They must go.
