    The danger of South Africa’s fragile anti-migrant protests

    South Africa's major cities experienced peaceful anti-migrant protests, with the government deploying police and military resources to manage the demonstrations. However, the protests highlight underlying economic vulnerabilities, including 30% unemployment, rising food inflation, and a struggling informal retail sector. The government faces pressure to enforce mass deportations and workplace quotas as part of a rolling campaign by protest leaders.
