# The South African Federation of Trade Unions is calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of all those responsible for acts of intimidation, assault, extortion, vigilantism and violence against foreign nationals in the country. In his address on Sunday, president Cyril Ramaphosa emphasised that no other person except authorised government officials is allowed to demand proof of nationality from people. Saftu’s spokesperson, Asive Dyani, says failure to act decisively creates a dangerous perception that certain vigilante formations enjoy political protection:
