Two Bangladeshi shopkeepers have been beaten to death in South Africa, according to media reports.

The victims were not named.
The incident was the latest in a series of violent attacks on immigrants, they said. “They seem to have been hit with hard objects like a hammer, all over the body,” police spokesman
