Anti-migrant protests turn violent in Durban and Soweto; cars torched, shots fired

Anti-migrant protests in Durban and Johannesburg's Soweto township escalated into violence on Oct 8, with vehicles set ablaze and gunfire reported in Soweto. The incidents reflect rising xenophobic tensions in South Africa, though the scale and organized nature remain unclear. This could signal broader social instability and potential economic disruption in key urban centers.
