Is operation Dudula a xenophobia time bomb? Dudula operation targets economic, political and social challenges in the townships which affect township economy. 

Dr Naledi Pandor says she finds the action seen on television caused by Dudula extremely worrying, they put South Africa in a very poor light, they make it seem like South Africa is an extremely xenophobic country. A country with negative attitude, particularly towards black African people. 

If this operation continues South Africa can result in awful violence which place us where we were in 2007 and 2008. The continued action of this group is leading us towards tragedy. 

 Sheikh “we’re seeing people claiming to be from Dudula intimidating and harassing our members. Members feel their businesses are being interfered with.”
