It was gathered that some groups of people gathered outside certain schools early in the morning and stopped children of Black immigrants from entering for classes.
In a video, the children were seen being taken out of their classrooms during school hours, and their parents were asked to come and take them home.
Witnesses said harsh and offensive remarks were directed at both the children and their parents, telling them to return to their home countries.
“Go back to your bloody country, you useless ones. You can’t fight your own government, so you come to South Africa. B@stards,” a South African man said.
The situation left many of the children frightened, with parents trying to calm and reassure them amid the tension.
Police officers later arrived at the scene to prevent the situation from turning violent, as anti-immigration protests and xenophobic incidents continue.
However, despite their presence, the children were still sent out of the schools.
