XENOPHOBIC ATTACK SPREADS TO JOHANNESBURG



According to BBC, the on-going Xenophobic attack in South Africa looks like it is not stopping at all as it has spread to Johannesburg.
Shops owned by foreigners in eastern Johannesburg were looted overnight in the latest series of xenophobic attacks.
Shop owners and foreign nationals  numbering about 200 took refuge at a police station as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
This recent attack took place hours after South Africans took part in a rally against xenophobia in the coastal city of Durban.
At least five people have died following anti-foreigner violence in South Africa.
