One aspect of xenophobic violence is the torching of trucks driven by foreigners on main routes – the depredation flared up along the N3 route in April 2018, before spreading to other provinces. In the April 2018 incident, 32 trucks were torched and others looted near Mooi River on the N3 route, and 54 protesters and opportunist looters were arrested. Coordinated attacks during November 2020 targeted many freight trucks on the N3 and N12 routes. The attackers managed to loot and destroy 35 trucks in KwaZulu-Natal and at Heidelberg, Parys-Sasolburg and Daveyton respectively. Truck drivers were shot at, with some injured and one killed. 25 people were arrested.
