South Africa Xenophobia Row: Vigilantes Taking Over Anti-Migrant Protests? | Firstpost Africa
South Africa is facing a severe wave of anti-migrant unrest as rising 'xenophobic' sentiment drives thousands of foreign nationals to flee the country. Amid acute domestic crises involving high crime rates, severe unemployment, and crumbling public services, local communities are increasingly blaming undocumented immigrants. In response, the Ramaphosa government has intensified its migration management campaign, resulting in the deportation or repatriation of over 53,000 people—mostly from Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique—in just five weeks. However, the crackdown has sparked a major diplomatic row, with neighbouring countries condemning the violence. In townships like Alexandra, armed vigilante groups have taken the law into their own hands, raiding homes and attacking suspected undocumented residents. While Pretoria attributes recent deaths to criminal acts rather than targeted xenophobic attacks, the United Nations warns that vulnerable migrants are being scapegoated for the nation's deep-rooted socioeconomic challenges.Also on the show:
