At least three people described as foreign nationals
have been killed in a wave of xenophobic violence
in the South African city of Durban, local media
reported on Friday.
Residents looted shops owned by foreigners on
Thursday, with one Somali shopkeeper now fighting
for his life.
Hundreds of people from Malawi, Burundi,
Zimbabwe and Congo have reportedly fled their
homes in the past two weeks.
A police spokeswoman was quoted as saying that
several arrests have been made.
The rioting followed comments by Goodwill
Zwelithini, king of the Zulu ethnic group and
figurehead of the eastern province of KwaZulu-
Natal, who criticised the presence of immigrants in
South Africa.
Zwelithini later said his comments had been
misinterpreted and that he had only criticised high
crime levels, according to a local broadcaster.
More than 60 people died in xenophobic attacks
that swept the country in 2008.
Economically disadvantaged South Africans see
foreigners as competing with them for businesses
and jobs.

And some fools expect me to believe the mad was joking

A relatively mild comment when compared to that of Oba of Lagoons

Thank God this is not South Africa. Any attempted attempt to lagoon anybody will be met with fierce reprisal. Mad dog of the lagoon coinage take note
