Human Rights Watch on Monday urged South African authorities to prosecute the perpetrators of deadly xenophobic violence that displaced some 300 Malawi migrants three weeks ago but has yielded no arrests.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has said at least six foreign nationals were killed and several injured, raising fears of a resurgence of xenophobic bloodshed in a country where poor, jobless people accuse migrants of taking their work and benefits. Others had no choice but to return to the same informal settlement they had been violently chased out of.
“To deter those who attack foreign nationals, there is an urgent need for effective policing, arrests, and prosecutions.”Widespread condemnation of the violence prompted emergency talks between South Africa’s foreign and police ministers, Lindiwe Sisulu and Bheki Cele, and diplomats of African countries.
