JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African police and the military have been deployed in several townships due to growing threats against foreign migrant workers and protests about squalid living conditions, police said on Monday.
Signs of social instability could harm South Africa's image and investor sentiment, undoing gains achieved by hosting the successful soccer World Cup tournament that ended on Sunday.
Police said they had arrested seven people and flare-ups in the Western Cape in the Cape Town area, were matters of concern but no one had been injured so far.
