South Africa Xenophobic Attacks

Five Mozambican citizens were killed in 'xenophobic attacks' in South Africa over the weekend, the first deaths officially linked to anti-immigration protests.

The violence prompted 300 Mozambicans to return home, highlighting escalating tensions.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has vowed to act on 'illegal immigration' as anti-foreigner protests spread across the country.

In Mossel Bay, xenophobic violence also broke out, leaving three dead and 55 shacks destroyed, despite police dismissing a xenophobic motive in one murder case.
