South Africa has temporarily closes its embassy in Nigeria following xenophobic violence attacks by Nigerians in South Africa.
South Africa's Foreign Minister, Naledi Pandor, called the violence an embarrassment for her country.
"Our government regrets all violence against foreign-owned stores or Africans from other countries who are resident in South Africa," she was quoted as saying by national broadcaster SABC.
It is not known when the embassy will re-open.
