“Tribalism Has Started”: Alleged Zulu Workers Chased From Limpopo Working Site in Tense TikTok Video

• An alleged tribal confrontation took place on a Limpopo working site between local residents and Zulu workers.
• The local men asked the workers to pack up and leave the northern province immediately.
• South Africans shared mixed reactions online regarding the rising incident of local tribal divisions.

A group of local men recently chased Zulu workers from a Limpopo construction site. The tense workplace incident happened after several tribal disputes occurred across various South African provinces during the anti-illegal immigration demonstrations. This growing local friction follows the recent tragic death of Nhlamulo Sambo in Mossel Bay, and many other South Africans mistaken for foreigners in other provinces.

Many Tsonga and Venda speaking people were previously mistaken for foreigners within KwaZulu-Natal. An e-hailing driver also demanded official identity documents from a Tsonga passenger in Pretoria. The angry Limpopo residents stated they are retaliating against the mistreatment of their people.
