South African residents of the Alexandra township in Johannesburg have been attacking immigrants.
For the third night in a row, police have had to step in to stop the violence against immigrants from Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi.
Five people have been left dead and 60 wounded in the violence.
Police later took immigrants back to the police station to keep them safe.
The immigrants say that many of their houses were looted and that many female residents were assaulted.
The South African residents of the township accuse the immigrants of being criminals and of taking their jobs.
The opposition in the south African parliament believes that the army should be sent in to restore order in Johannesburg.

people r not animals.
Animals are better than people who argues and blame other races for seeming injustices because animals do not scream racial discrimination, they move on if they have to teeth. Stop lecturing the world when you yourself are not free from bigotry and animalism. If ahmad can build a better house with a beautiful fruit garden, glory to him. Hating him because he has a better house than yours is lame.
