ZIMBABWEANS in neighbouring South Africa are living in fear of xenophobic attacks following a wave of violence targeting foreign nationals in that country.

There have been reports of violence against foreign nationals in areas such as Diepkloof, Rosebank and Turfontein amid fear that it might spread.

Videos have been circulating on social media showing South Africans co-ordinating the attacks under the hashtag #Operation Dudula targeting Zimbabwean nationals living in rented houses, and surviving on informal trading.
