A resident holds up his hands as a South African anti-riot police officer raids the kitchen area of a hostel in Benoni on April 16, 2015 whose local residents are suspected of having protested against foreign-owned shops in the area, pelting with stones the trucks bringing supplies to the shops and forcing them to shut down. South African President Jacob Zuma on April 16 appealed for calm as a wave of anti-immigrant violence spread to Johannesburg amid fears that the country's dire economic troubles could spark widespread unrest.
