A young Mozambican migrant, bleeding from a head wound, is protected from further assault by a squad of South African police officers as he’s loaded into an ambulance in Alexandra township in Johannesburg.

Parts of South Africa, especially in the country’s largest city, Johannesburg, remain tense and occupied by security forces trying to prevent violence against foreigners. Protestors are demanding that migrants, who they accuse of “stealing jobs” and being criminals, leave the country.
