South Africa has deployed the army in four of its provinces on Friday after at least 21 trucks carrying goods were set on fire on national roads in various parts of the country over the past week.
Authorities have not established the motive for the attacks but Police Minister Bheki Cele said there is a possibility of economic sabotage against South Africa. He did not say who might be behind the campaign but police are hunting for at least 12 people believed to be linked to the attacks.
Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reports from Mpumalanga, South Africa.
