There is a lot of confusion here. No one in the camps for internally displaced people understands how they pose a threat to South Africans - nor why they're being killed for trying to make a living.
Foreigners living in the cramped camps are ordinary barbers, cashiers, security guards, and corner-store owners unaccustomed to being targets of hatred and violence. 

"We are just creating so when they say we are taking [jobs] from them, they are totally wrong," said Amuri Djuma, 32, from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

"Even if we leave there still won't be jobs in South Africa. They will still be asking for jobs."
More than 5 ,000 people were displaced after deadly violence against foreign nationals erupted on March 30 in the country's coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal, whose capital is Durban.
Attacks soon spread to the country's financial hub, Johannesburg, in Gauteng province.
