South African police tighten security as anti-migrant deadline approaches | Migration News
The article reports potential violence against migrants based on an illegal deadline.
South Africa's police minister announced heightened security measures across the country in preparation for a June 30 deadline set by anti-migrant protest groups. The ultimatum demands undocumented foreigners leave the country, with no legal basis, and Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia stated that the force will protect communities, infrastructure, and public spaces while upholding the right to peaceful protest. Defence Minister Angie Motshekga confirmed military support for police efforts, securing strategic sites like airports. The escalating tensions come amidst high unemployment rates, a history of anti-foreigner violence, and political parties framing migrants as competitors for jobs and services.
