South African police have since declared war on all Zimbabwean nationals living in the rainbow country after they made an arrest of a Zimbabwean criminal who is said to have shot and killed their fellow police officer.

In a video clip circulating on social media, the man is seen being assaulted by police who also declare war on Zimbabweans saying they do not need them in South Africa.

The police officers could be heard saying they are tired of Zimbabweans committing crime in South Africa declaring that they will get rid of all of them.

In his defence, the man claims he did not know that the person he shot was a policeman.

It could not be immediately verified if the man was actually Preymore Dube whose picture was distributed on various platforms and said to have shot the Senior South African cop.

Dube allegedly shot Diepsloot police captain Oupa Matjie, 54, three times on the head and he died on the spot.
