SA faces rising tension as foreign national is killed amid anti-migrant protests

South Africa continues to grapple with anti-immigrant protests. Groups such as March & March have pledged to protest every Thursday of the week until government fulfills its promises on tightening immigration laws. However, protests have taken place on almost every other day of the week. Yesterday afternoon in Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, unrest unfolded, disrupting traffic and also forcing foreign-owned shops to close earlier. today during unrest or protests we've seen a man beaten to death police said that a man in his late 30s or early 40s was standing on the sidewalk when two men from the protest group broke away from the group and approached the man after which a group of about 50 people followed and assaulted him the foreign national was declared dead at the scene we understand police are investigating cctv footage to hopefully make arrests soon police capacity in the province has been strained the army has been deployed to the province last week but with a man now assaulted uh deadly in a deadly assault and also unrest that unfolded yesterday and today, the question remains whether authorities have the capacity to contain violence before more lives are lost.
