Zimbabweans attacked at SA camp

South African residents at a settlement near Johannesburg have set on fire some shacks which belong to residents from Zimbabwe.

Police fired rubber bullets to disperse crowds at the settlement, which is home to around 50,000 people.

The attacks follow the destruction of more than 100 Zimbabwean shacks at the weekend.

The South African residents decided at a community meeting on Sunday to expel the foreigners and destroy their homes.

They say the Zimbabweans have been involved in violent crime and want them to go back to their own country.
