KwaZulu-Natal church leaders gathered in the Durban CBD on Thursday to lead a silent protest in unity with all foreign nationals affected by xenophobic attacks in the province.
The gathering of about 50 people held at the Medwood Gardens follows numerous violent attacks against foreigners trading in KZN.
Bishop Bheki Buthelezi, board member of the KwaZulu-Natal region Christian Council (KZNCC), said the meeting was long overdue and that the council has growing concerns about the attacks on foreigners.
