MAPUTO — The Mozambican government says at least five of its citizens were killed in what it described as xenophobic attacks in South Africa over the weekend, marking the first officially reported deaths linked to a recent wave of anti-immigration protests sweeping parts of the country.

HARARE – Violent unrest linked to anti-immigration protests erupted in the KwaNonqaba and Asla Park areas of Mossel Bay, South Africa, in late May 2026, leaving a trail of destruction, displacement, and death. Local police have confirmed that two men died during the chaos, multiple homes were razed by fire, and hundreds of residents have been displaced in what community leaders and local officials describe as suspected xenophobic attacks.
