The Chinese Embassy in South Africa reminded Chinese citizens to step up security precautions on October 10. On October 8, South African civil anti-illegal immigration organizations organized a parade in downtown Durban in Quanah Province and the Soweto area in Gauteng Province to protest against foreign citizens' applications for South African refugee status. This led to clashes, vandalism, robberies, and vehicle arson against foreign immigrants and foreigner-run stores. The Embassy in South Africa reminds Chinese citizens and institutions in South Africa that they must keep a close eye on recent developments, avoid passing through or going to riots and unsafe areas, do not stay and watch in case of safety incidents such as demonstrations, and promptly detour and stay away to avoid getting involved. In the event of an emergency, respond calmly and rationally, avoid intensifying conflicts, give priority to ensuring personal safety, and promptly seek help from the local police and the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in South Africa.
