Cyril Ramaphosa says he is "deeply concerned and ashamed" over abuse of foreign nationals

President Cyril Ramaphosa urged southern African leaders to work together on migration during a regional summit in Durban, after anti-foreigner protests in South Africa prompted more than 176,000 people to leave. Addressing the 16-nation SADC gathering, he thanked neighboring countries for their patience and expressed regret for the situation, saying South Africa felt distress and embarrassment over recent discrimination and abuse targeting foreign nationals. The protests, led by populist groups demanding undocumented migrants leave by June 30, also included a march near the venue. At least four migrants were killed, according to police, though some foreign governments say the toll is higher. South Africa, taking over SADC's rotating chair, called for an Africa-wide migration conference.
