South Africa on Friday in Pretoria sought diplomatic support from countries across the continent to tackle the ongoing anti-immigrant violence in the country.
This was as a result of series of complaints by foreign nationals that the South African police are failing to protect them.
They said the crisis was stirring hostility to South Africans working abroad.
South African Foreign Minister, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, told a reporter after the African diplomatic meeting in Pretoria, that there was urgent need to nip the crisis in the bud.
Kenya and some other African governments have also offered to evacuate any of their citizens who feel threatened.
