Migrants in South Africa fear for their lives - 20 May 08

For more than a week, South Africa's poor have unleashed their fury on migrants which has left 24 people dead in recent attacks. South African leaders are now trying to bring the situation under control. Kalay Maistry, Al Jazeera's correspondent in South Africa, say that police are out in force, but thousands of foreign workers who fled their homes in the city's townships after gangs of youths began targeting them, say they're still too terrified to go back.
