Durban xenophobia: The world is watching
Durban CBD and Xenophobia are currently trending on Twitter.
The nation’s eyes are on Durban as xenophobic violence continues to intensify in the city. Following an attack at the Dalton Hostel last night and today’s stand-off in the CBD, South Africans have been uniformly outraged at the violence on social media.

Was just driving in Durban CBD. Pandemonium. 4 people dead in the xenophobic attacks. Tragic and senseless loss of life.
