A South African court has temporarily blocked the government from deporting about 300 migrants detained in pre-dawn raids, according to BBC World Service Trusts.
Human rights lawyers asked the Johannesburg High Court to halt the deportations scheduled for Wednesday, saying the government had denied them access to the detainees.
The foreigners were arrested in and around Johannesburg during pre-dawn raids carried out by security forces after the xenophobic violence which killed at least seven people last month.
At the time, the government said the army was being deployed to prevent further xenophobic attacks.

That is actually bullshit. These guys got their countries, what are they doing in South Africa. They don’t belong here, the only visitors to this country should be holiday visitors. When Mbeki stated he had a dream of making Africa one, he must have been drunk, for no sober person can have such a shitty dream.
Adrian , you are an imbecile are South Africans not living and doing business in other countries !!!. Your statement is not complete , if you want them to go to their countries then also tell South Africans in other countries to come back home.
True, however, we create jobs for those guys like Checkers/Shoprite, etc. We don’t take their jobs, we create.
