Johannesburg: South African police are probing the death of a foreign national as the country experiences an increase in xenophobic violence against migrants. The assassination comes amid weeks of anti-immigrant riots and attacks on foreign-owned companies around the country.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the victim's name or determined whether the murder was directly related to the unrest. However, the incident has raised worries about the safety of foreign nationals, many of whom have been uprooted or forced to seek temporary housing following violent attacks.

The latest surge of violence has caused some African countries to begin evacuating or repatriating their citizens from South Africa, while rights groups have asked the government to take firmer action against vigilante groups and hold perpetrators accountable for attacks on migrants.

South African officials have condemned the violence and said investigations into the most recent homicide are ongoing, as demand grows to restore peace and safeguard vulnerable communities.
