Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini, has appealed for calm after recent violence against migrants in South Africa, the BBC reports.
He has been accused of fuelling the attacks, which have killed at least seven people, after saying foreigners should "go back to their countries".
More than 300 people have been arrested in the unrest.
Thousands packed into a stadium in the eastern city of Durban to hear King Zwelithini's address, where he said his comments were distorted by the media.
In King Zwelithini's speech, he said it was not fair to blame the violence on one individual, pointing out that there had been several previous outbreaks of xenophobic violence in South Africa.
He added that the South African Human Rights Commission should investigate the hate speech charges against him without hindrance.
Among the latest arrests were three men detained in connection with the murder of a Mozambican national in Alexandra, a township in Johannesburg.
