The Senate made the call on Wednesday, April 22, 2015.
The House of Representatives had earlier threatened to frustrate South African interests in Nigeria if attacks against Nigerians and other foreigners were not stopped.
The Zulu king has however denied inciting violence and has urged the attackers to stop harming foreigners.
