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.
