South Africa sent troops into Kya Sand, a suburb of Johannesburg, to prevent an escalation in recent attacks that may have targeted foreigners, police spokesman Govindsamy Mariemuthoo said.
The deployment of army and police reinforcements came after 10 people were arrested for assaulting and robbing 11 people, six of whom were Zimbabwean or Mozambican, Mariemuthoo said by phone from Johannesburg today. Three of the victims needed hospital treatment, he said.
