Thabo Mbeki, the South African president, has ordered the army to deploy troops to quell violence against foreigners.
This marks the first time for the South African army to combat violence in the streets since the end of apartheid in 1994.
The attacks on immigrants began last week, costing the lives of more than 42 people and 16,000 displaced.
Yvonne Ndege, Al Jazeera's correspondent in South Africa, reports on the violence that is being fuelled by the perception among some poor South Africans, that the immigrants are robbing them of jobs and other scarce resources.
Most of the foreigners have fled from the economic and political turmoil gripping Zimbabwe. Others are from Mozambique, with more than 3,000 of them having already left South Africa.

So I love the movie Fight Club-with good reason too. So I spliced together this music video. The hardest part was figuring out what song to use. I had a song but it was called robot rock by Daft Punk. And the only problem with that is there are no robots in Fight Club. So at the last minute I decided to change the music to a Bright Eyes song called Down In A Rabbit Hole. Which I think Bright Eyes feels more like Fight Club, so it worked out.
Hope you enjoy it.
