Coastal communities on edge as anti-immigration unrest deepens

# Overstrand Municipality in the Western Cape says many of the foreign nationals affected by recent unrest in Kleinmond are in South Africa legally. About 100 displaced people are currently being accommodated at the town hall, while some are considering voluntary repatriation. Ward councillor Grant Cohen says families, including children attending local schools, have been forced to seek shelter due to fear and intimidation. Cohen warns residents against taking the law into their own hands.
