Johannesburg, Jan 4, SPA -- Two Zimbabweans were killed on Wednesday in clashes between South Africans and foreigners at a squatter settlement in the capital Pretoria, police said. Police reinforcements were sent to the Olivienhoutbosch area after renewed violence erupted between South Africans and foreigners returning home after they fled an earlier outbreak of fighting in the same settlement last week, police spokeswoman Katlego Mogale said. "A group of foreign nationals returned to the settlement after the Dec. 26 incident and were met with resistance from the locals. A fight erupted between the two groups whereby several people were injured and two confirmed dead," Mogale said in a statement. Public broadcaster SABC radio put the death toll at 5 and added that Zimbabwean and Mozambique nationals were involved in the fighting against South Africans in the squatter settlement. --SPA 14 48 Local Time 11 48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/316814
