Led by civic body, March and March, the demonstration, which also included ActionSA, MK Party, the IFP and the National Freedom Party, aimed to highlight the impact of foreigners on unemployment, crime and the economy.
Tensions flared when the group was diverted by police as they wanted to march to the Point precinct, with some protesters lying down on the street.
However, they were eventually led towards Hoy Park near the promenade.
Protesters carrying water bottles, knobkerries and vuvuzelas chanted and carried placards expressing their anger about foreigners in South Africa.
