The United States Embassy in South Africa has
condemned the attack against foreign-nationals in the country.
In a statement the embassy has urged individuals
involved to refrain from all forms of violence, exercise restraint and rely on
peaceful dialog to resolve any differences.
Five people have been killed in recent xenophobic
attacks which started in Durban and has now spread to Gauteng’s East Rand.
The Embassy’s Joy Peters said the US Embassy joined
the South African government and other society leaders in condemning the
violence against foreigners taking place in Kwa Zulu Natal.
“We remain concerned about the loss of innocent
lives, destruction of property and impact on families and communities.” Peters
added.
