Somali-born shopkeeper Zagaria was attacked and had all three of his shops looted in Soweto.

Police in South Africa say three people have been killed in violence targeting foreign-owned businesses in the area. It's thought that looting began following allegations that shopkeepers were selling out-of-date and counterfeit products.
