The South African government has dismissed WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus's claim that 10 foreign nationals have been killed during the latest wave of anti-immigration protests. An investigation by Daily Maverick found the death toll disputed, with some incidents linked to unrelated organized crime rather than xenophobic attacks. The government's denial comes amid growing global condemnation of rising anti-immigration sentiment in the country.
