The President of South Africa Thabo Mbeki has approved the deployment of the army to halt attacks on foreign migrants. Angry mobs have been roaming the townships, killing at least 40 people and driving some 30,000 from their homes since the unrest began more than a week ago. From Johannesburg, Windy Ross reports.

Some South Africans accused foreigners including Zimbabweans of taking jobs from locals and committing crimes. But until now, the idea of deploying the army had been rejected as unnecessary.
