South Africa gettin that work 
Zambia: Music blackout and boycott
Zambia's biggest private radio station Q FM has announced on its Facebook pagethat it has "indefinitely blacked out the playing of South African music in protest against xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals taking place in that country".
The radio station now features a special protest logo on its Facebook page
"We need to send a clear message to South Africans that violence on fellow Africans negates African unity which the forefathers of the continent fought for," the station said.
Earlier, a small group of Zambian protesters went to the South African High Commission in Lusaka to complain about the xenophobia, reports the BBC's Meluse Kapatamoyo.
Malumbo Siwale in Zambia tweeted using the hashtag #blackfriday, which has been trending on twitter in Zambia: "Not buying or using South African products today, fight #xenophobia by pressuring the #SA govt to act #blackfriday".
Malawi: Goods boycott call
There have been calls for people to stop buying South African goods and services, spearheaded by John Kapito, executive director of the Consumers Association of Malawi (CAMA).
"We're urging Malawians to boycott all South African shops and goods," he told the BBC.
"We're giving them one week to close their shops. On Friday next week we will physically close all South African shops like Shoprite and Game, if they don't close on their own. If they don't want us in their country, we don't want their goods here too."
