‘Chased like dogs’: Anti-migrant mobs in South Africa force foreigners to flee
Hundreds of foreign nationals have been forced to flee their homes in South Africa after violent anti-migrant mobs began chasing them down. Weeks of violent protests have led to the deaths of at least five nationals of Mozambique, that country's government said, adding that roughly 300 had fled back over its border Saturday. Ghana and Nigeria have organised emergency repatriation flights.
