Johannesburg - One man has been shot dead and two injured in Tembisa, where the latest xenophobic attacks have occurred, police said on Saturday.

Captain Manyadza Ralidhivha said scores of Tembisa residents went on a rampage destroying property that belong to foreign nationals in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Ralidhivha said at least 15 shacks had been burnt down in Kanana, Tembisa.

Ralidhivha, who could be heard shouting orders, said he was deploying more police officers this afternoon, where he had received reports of disturbances.

He said foreigners were still " trickling into" Rabie Ridge police station in Tembisa, to seek protection.
