S. Africa on edge ahead of anti-migrant deadline
South Africa is preparing for potential violent anti-migrant protests organized by March and March, which set a June 30 deadline for undocumented migrants to leave. The government has deployed 600 million rand in security measures, while businesses and officials brace for unrest amid historical tensions and recent clashes. Past violence, including the 2021 looting and arson, has caused billions in economic damage and heightened fears of recurrence.
