South Africa anti-migrant protests: Government to send envoys over xenophobic attacks

South Africa says it will dispatch envoys across Africa and to other parts of the world, following a wave of xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals in the country. Protesters are blaming foreigners for unemployment, crime, and poverty. And protest leaders are calling on all migrants without valid visas to leave by the end of the month.
