South Africa's textile industry paralysed after migrants flee xenophobic violence

South Africa's textile industry is facing a workforce crisis after thousands of migrant workers fled following violent xenophobic protests.

Factory owners in Newcastle say they have been unable to fill vacancies left by the departed foreign workers.
