Kenyan high commissioner to South Africa Jean Kamau on wednesday confirmed that several Kenyans are among those attacked in Gauteng Province.
He has advised Kenyans in South Africa to report to the police when threatened with cases of arson, looting and physical attacks.
The ongoing attack has brewed different reactions on social media with some south Africans justifying these acts of injustice on foreigners.
More than 50 shops owned by foreigners have been destroyed and hundreds of people hospitalised. The attacks on foreign-owned businesses and properties have been roundly condemned on Twitter with many demanding that the South African government takes action and stops the violence .
