A Mozambican man has been burned alive by a mob during disturbances near the South African capital Pretoria.
The 30-year-old was stoned then set alight in Atteridgeville township after being accused of an arson attack on a shack the day before, said police.
Three suspects were held for murder and robbery as 2,000 rand ($246 Ј126) were stolen from the man, police said.
Atteridgeville was the scene of a spate of recent attacks on foreigners, in which 62 people died.
