Thousands of people marched in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province following a call by the MK party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, demanding that undocumented migrants leave the country. Protesters accuse foreign nationals of worsening unemployment and crime, though many others say immigrants are being wrongly blamed for South Africa's deeper economic difficulties. The demonstrations have at times turned violent, forcing hundreds of families — many from Malawi — from their homes. Nearly 3,000 displaced people are now sleeping in a Durban park, awaiting buses to take them back to Malawi.
