Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini, who instigated the xenophobic attacks in South Africa has appealed for calm. He has been accused of fuelling the attacks, which have killed at least seven people, after saying foreigners should "go back to their countries".
More than 300 people have been arrested in the unrest. Thousands packed into a stadium in the eastern city of Durban to hear King Zwelithini's address. He says his comments were distorted by the media.
In King Zwelithini's speech, he said it was not fair to blame the violence on one individual, pointing out that there had been several previous outbreaks of xenophobic violence in South Africa.
He added that the South African Human Rights Commission should investigate the hate speech charges against him without hindrance.
