South Africa: Anti-migrant unrest flares in Durban

What the coverage shows

Both outlets treat the story as anti-migrant unrest in South Africa and connect it to broader patterns of violence there. BBC News frames it directly as cars torched and shops looted, with its extract noting recurrent outbreaks that often target migrants from neighbouring countries. Reuters instead foregrounds disinformation and protest dynamics, saying officials cite false claims about a court ruling and high unemployment as contributing factors.
