Migrants clash with police in South Africa
Police fired rubber bullets and used stun grenades against migrants protesting on Wednesday near a community hall in South Africa, where thousands are being processed for deportation by authorities.
The clashes came as tensions over immigration surge in Africa's richest country following a series of anti-migrant marches and reports of attacks on some foreign nationals.
The migrants who gathered near the hall in the eastern city of Durban are mainly Malawians who initially turned up there more than a week ago to be voluntarily repatriated to their home country on buses provided by their government, authorities said.
The premier of KwaZulu-Natal Province, where Durban is, has said nearly 10,000 Malawians have been camping in a park near the hall waiting to go home.
