Africa Day celebrations in Durban: Jayed Paulse reports

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli is leading Africa Day celebrations at The Durban Playhouse.

This comes amid rising tensions and a boycott of the day's festivities by some African ambassadors.

The celebrations come at the back of immigration protests, which forced foreign nationals fearing for their safety to sleep on the pavement outside the Department of Home Affairs Refugee Reception Centre in the Durban CBD.
