Stones, objects hurled as EFF marches to Phoenix police station
There have been threats hurled and objects thrown at some businesses and houses in Phoenix by some taking part in an anti-racism march in the area, north of Durban.
Some shops have temporarily shut their doors as the protest moves through towards the local police station.
It is being led by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) after 36 people were killed in the area, allegedly by vigilantes, during the unrest last month.
What started off as a mostly peaceful demonstration on Thursday has seen a few moments of disorder when some protesters hurled verbal threats to local Indians who had been watching from the side of the road and from their homes.
