Kenmare repatriates South African employees

Irish mining firm Kenmare Resources has repatriated 62 South Africans working at its titanium mine in Mozambique for their safety after anti-immigrant attacks back home.

The company said in a statement it was sending the workers back home temporarily for their safety in case of reprisal attacks.

At least seven people have been killed in a wave of anti-immigrant violence that started this month in Durban. The violence spread to Johannesburg last week, with police patrolling trouble spots.
