Africans have come out to boycott South Africa after days of looting and violence targeting foreigners in which five people died.
Nigerian singers and Zambia's football team are among those in the boycott.
South Africa's Minister of Social Development Lindiwe Zulu told the BBC the rioters feared losing their jobs to foreigners.
The country has become a magnet for migrants from other parts of Africa.
Who has boycotted South Africa?
Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy vowed to never go to South Africa again until the government "wakes up".
He tweeted that he himself had had his own "xenophobic experiences at the hands of South Africans " in 2017.
Another Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, announced on Twitter she was pulling out of a concert she had planned to perform at in South Africa in September, condemning "the barbaric butchering of my people".

>> the rioters feared losing their jobs to foreigners.
South African Nationalists were behind these riots?
They ain’t going to play in Sun City
“Ain’t gonna play Sun City”
Damn. 12 seconds
The triumph of Desmond Tutu over Nelson Mandela is the battle for hearts and minds in that country. Really sad to see this and I guarantee that the media here will bury this, unlike the BBC, which showed some balls on this one.
What’s old is new again.
Oh no! Burna Boy ain’t gonna’ be dere?
*EVERY* country has the right to have borders and to restrict in any way it wishes the flow of non citizens across those borders.South Africa,with all its problems,is an absolute paradise when compared to neighbors like Mozambique,Zimbabwe,Angola,Congo,etc. That's why SA has the problems she has.
When South Africa is an upgrade.
The media doesn’t talk about south africa because it’s returning to its pre-colonial state: barbarism and savagery. Mandela managed to keep the savages from overrunning the country and killing everybody, but now he’s gone and the current administration is letting them kill Whitey and take his property.
Refresh my memory. Is S. Africa still governed by rich white Dutchmen?
South Africa turned Communist under Mandela... now they are talking about killing all the Boers and “re-patriating” IE stealing all their land.
Boer Farmers are being attacked and killed.
It is only a matter of a few short years under Communist rule and it has turned to this.
It’s also just a matter of time until famine hits.
I think the problems in SA are more fundamental than just its neighbors.
“Freeeeee Nelson Mandela.
Freeeeee Nelson Mandela.”
“The country has become a magnet for migrants from other parts of Africa”
Oh the irony of this. And the hypocrisy.
The objective of all communists is to put THEIR behinds in the back seats of the government limousines and the gold bathtubs in the palace.
