The two -- who used to be allies -- are attacking each other in a fight for control of the country.

A ceasefire collapsed on Tuesday and there are reports that civilian homes are being targeted as well as foreign embassies.

There are a number of South Africans holed up in the capital and they are getting increasingly desperate to find a way out.
