 I have been bringing you the news from South Africa as it unfolds.  PAC LEADER Chris Sankara has sent me pictures of the protest held against the Xenophobic acts that have happened South Africa to date, "7 people have been killed in attacks on migrants since March 20, when Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini spoke out against foreign workers."Let us pop our head lice," he said. "We must remove ticks and place them outside in the sun. We ask foreign nationals to pack their belongings and be sent back."He has since said those remarks were taken out of context and that he opposes violence." But how can any sane human being mistake the low life analogy he made about other human beings and the act of killing lice?
Nigeria answered the violence earlier this week as "Nigeria summoned South Africa's high commissioner home. Apparently over the unrest,  protesters picketed the South African embassy in Lagos. On Monday, Nigeria’s foreign ministry summoned South Africa’s high commissioner to Nigeria.  Lulu Mnguni said, “ to register Nigeria’s protest over the ongoing xenophobic attacks A Nigerian group has called for the International Criminal Court to investigate Zwelithini for "hate speech". On Thursday, Nigeria’s Senate asked the government to immediately recall its ambassador from South Africa and to take Zwelithini to the International Criminal Court. One senator also called for South Africa’s suspension from the African Union (AU). The AU’s next summit is set to be hosted in Johannesburg in June." 
"South Africa has deployed troops to try to quell the violence, after criticism by nations including China and Zimbabwe. They believe the South African government  failed to protect their citizens against armed mobs.
Some South African businesses in Malawi were closed after a consumer rights group called for a boycott.
