UNSG expresses concern over 'xenophobic' attacks in KZN

The United Nations Secretary-General has expressed deep concern over reports of what he termed xenophobic attacks in KwaZulu-Natal, further condemning criminal acts perpetrated by individuals inciting violence and exploiting socio-economic conditions.

In a statement in which he also extended warm greetings to mark Freedom Day, António Guterres said violence, vigilantism and all forms of incitement to hatred, had no place in an inclusive, democratic society governed by the rule of law and respect for human rights.
