Xenophobia Row: Migrants Continue To Flee As South Africa Marks Mandela Day | Firstpost Africa

The xenophobia crisis in South Africa deepens following the alleged targeted killing of Andile Mvuyelwa Somgxada, a prominent provincial leader of the anti-migrant group 'March and March.' In the wake of his death, vigilante groups have vowed to intensify protests against illegal immigration. The escalating unrest has sparked massive continental backlash, with Nigeria, Ghana, and Mozambique fiercely condemning the violence against their nationals. While the Ramaphosa government rejects the 'xenophobia' label as general criminality, it has simultaneously launched an aggressive crackdown, deporting over 53,000 foreign nationals. Terrified migrants are shutting down businesses, fleeing cities, and camping outside foreign consulates desperately seeking emergency evacuation. As South Africa prepares to mark Mandela Day, this escalating violence forces a painful national reckoning over whether the country has abandoned Nelson Mandela’s foundational dream of pan-African solidarity and human unity. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
