Two more people die in the xenophobic attacks in South Africa

It is such a pity to wake up in a country where there is chaos everywhere as a Ghanaian Emmanuel Kwesi Quaison has reportedly been killed in the latest xenophobic attacks in Durban, South Africa.

Quaison, according to sources in the coastal city of Durban, was killed on Thursday by local gangs accusing foreigners of taking their jobs.

The violence, which broke out in Durban and surrounding townships, has spread to other parts of the country, including the economic capital Johannesburg.

Dozens of foreigners were reported to have sought refuge in a police station outside Johannesburg overnight and foreign-owned shops were said to have been attacked in the city's Jamestown area.

Eight people have so far been confirmed dead in the new wave of attacks and foreign-owned shops looted in recent weeks.

Report reaching us this morning is that two confirmed dead bodies yet to know their nationality where found on the streets
