Five people have been killed in a surge of xenophobic violence in South Africa, as President Cyril Ramaphosa vowed to clamp down on the violence
The African Union, Nigeria and Zambia have condemned the attacks.
Hordes of people — some armed with axes and machetes — gathered in Johannesburg’s central business district for the third day of unrest directed against foreigners, hours after mobs burned and looted shops in the township of Alexandra, prompting police to fire rubber bullets to disperse them.
Five deaths — most of them South Africans — have been reported, police said, adding that 189 people had been arrested.
