Tensions have flared between Indians and black Africans over killings that took place in Phoenix, north of Durban, during the riots and looting, leading to the #PhoenixMassacre trending and being talked about for the past couple of weeks. “Every day I wake up thinking about the fact that more than 300 people died. This is nearly ten times the number of people killed at Marikana. No mourning. No remembrances. No reflection. No apologies. Killing Black people is just business as usual,” she wrote.
Lebo responded, saying that issues afflicting the black community shouldn't fall on deaf ears, and people should be continuing to create conversation about what she considers one of SA's major issues.
