Two

dead in SA township clashes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two people have died in clashes between foreigners and local people in

a township south of South Africa's capital, Pretoria.

" Two died during this morning's area

violence, " police spokeswoman Inspector Katlego Mogale told the BBC.

According to public radio SABC, Zimbabweans

and Mozambicans were the foreigners involved in the fighting.

Some in South Africa are resentful

of African migrants - accusing them of taking scarce jobs.

This influx since the end of apartheid has led to a rise in

xenophobia.

" There are also unconfirmed reports that more than 10

people were injured in the altercation, " Ms Mogale told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.

The fighting erupted in the early

hours of Wednesday morning after the foreign residents returned home

after the festive season, she said.
