South Africans to march against attacks on foreigners

After weeks of violence, primarily in KwaZuluNatal, thousands expected to take part in solidarity rally in Durban.

At least five people have been killed while countless others have sheltered in fear of further attacks

Thousand of people are expected to attend a march in South Africa's coastal city of Durban in solidarity with the country's foreign nationals.
The march comes after weeks of attacks against foreign nationals in which at least five people have been killed and 74 people arrested since the end of March, according to Colonel Jay Naicker, police spokesperson.

On Thursday, as many people prepared to march in the coastal city of Durban in KwaZuluNatal, many shops also remained closed in the business capital of the country, Johannesburg.
Groups of people were said to be travelling from various other provinces to join in the show of solidarity with the foreign nationals.
