How outlets framed it
All sources: South African cities experienced widespread closures of businesses and public transport as anti-immigrant protests were planned and commenced. Authorities deployed heavy security, and foreigners braced for potential violence, with some reports highlighting the underlying xenophobic sentiments.
Key divergence: While most sources focus on the anti-immigrant protests and the resulting societal shutdown, one article introduces the context of former President Zuma's influence on these movements.
