Hundreds of nationals and non-nationals were rallying in separate marches in the capital, Pretoria, on Friday.

Police forces had formed lines to keep the two crowds apart.

Clashes erupted nevertheless.

The refugees were from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Somalia, and Pakistan.

Violence has emerged against refuges in South Africa in recent weeks.

Locals have looted and torched houses and shops belonging to the refugees.

Police fired stun grenades, rubber bullets and water cannons on Friday as the latest wave of anti-immigrant protests broke out in South Africa's capital, while President Jacob Zuma condemned anti-foreigner violence and appealed for calm.

Police tried to keep protesters apart from foreigners who gathered to express alarm about recent attacks.

Police Commissioner Khomotso Phalane said 136 people had been arrested in the past 24 hours.
