The South African army will be deployed to end a wave of attacks on foreigners, Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has said.
Troops would be deployed to Alexandra township, north of the main city Johannesburg, the minister said.
This will be the first troop deployment since the violence broke out early this month, killing at least seven people.
Tension has been high in the township since the killing of Malawian Emmanuel Sithole at the weekend.
