South Africa: Migrants Dragged From Homes As Ramaphosa Visits France | Xenophobia | Firstpost Africa
Tensions are flaring across South Africa as a wave of anti-migrant protests escalates into door-to-door vigilante evictions. In Johannesburg’s Alexandra township, local groups armed with sticks and machetes have been forcibly pulling alleged undocumented migrants from their homes, a move community leaders admit is spinning out of hand. Protesters blame foreign nationals for the country's severe economic woes, including a 2026 unemployment rate affecting over eight million citizens. However, critics argue migrants are being scapegoated for broader domestic failings. The crisis has sparked international outrage, with nations like Ghana and Nigeria lodging formal protests over the targeting of their citizens. Beyond the immediate threat of violence, experts warn of massive regional economic blowback. A mass exodus threatens to destabilise South Africa's informal economy and choke off vital remittance pipelines to neighbouring Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.TIME STAMPS:
