At least 24 vehicles have been set ablaze and foreign-owned shops looted in South Africa as anti-immigration protests descended into violence in two major cities, police say.
Unrest broke out on Thursday in Soweto, a sprawling township outside Johannesburg, the country's largest city, and Durban, a major port on the east coast.
The violence comes amid growing anger over a court ruling which would allow some migrants who had arrived in the country illegally to apply for asylum.
This had led to long queues outside immigration centres and the government on Friday said it would change the way it would comply with that ruling, without giving details.
The Department of Home Affairs said the current policy had seen its staff "overwhelmed", while "serious threats to public safety and order had emerged".
It said that the new policy would still abide by the Constitutional Court ruling.
South Africa has experienced repeated outbreaks of xenophobic violence, often targeting migrants from neighbouring countries.
