South Africa: March and March Protest Turns Ugly Again

An anti-immigrant protest in Braamfontein turned violent when protesters deviated from the approved route, attacking a man with a weapon. About a thousand participants, including members of ActionSA and the MK Party, joined the march. Businesses closed due to safety concerns, while Premier Panyaza Lesufi was booed when he attempted to address the crowd. President Cyril Ramaphosa and UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned recent xenophobic incidents in South Africa.
