A street corner in the South African coastal city of Durban has become a bustling scene of desperation.
Thousands of migrants crowd around colorful plastic sacks, boxes and trash bags carrying what belongings they could salvage before fleeing the country. Women tuck their babies under blankets. Vendors hawk solar-powered cellphone chargers and potato chips. Portable toilets, large green water tanks and makeshift showers fashioned from gray tarps are the only sanitation available.
The people in this encampment, like the handful that have popped up around the country, have been stuck out here for days, sometimes weeks, after anti-immigration activists called on undocumented foreigners to leave South Africa by Tuesday, or face untold consequences.
The activists have not explained what they plan to do to the immigrants who stay after the deadline, but even the threat has led thousands of immigrants, mostly from other African nations, to leave South Africa.
South Africa is the continent’s wealthiest nation. When people come to South Africa as refugees, the government does not put them in refugee camps but instead allows them to integrate into society. But many immigrants manipulate the refugee system to stay in the country longer, said Njabulo Nzuza, the deputy home affairs minister, while others who come for economic opportunities often overstay their visa.

Will Bono start singing “I Ain’t Gonna Play Sun City” again?
We need to do that here in America. All AFRIKANS OUT!!!
Get rid of the illegals.
I had no idea that Black South Africans were so ray-cist!
Regards,
Racists!
It’s enough to Shaka Zulu
I know a couple in Florida, both Mds. who were from south africa. When the news showed many well-dressed men from south africa in trump’s office at a time the blacks were murdering whites, I called them for more news and they almost had a tantrum on the phone.
“blacks kill more blacks than white people.”
Liberalism really is a mental disorder.
Does the article say where these immigrants immigrated from or when? Does it say anything at all about their heritage, their education or their religion?
I hit a paywall when o try to read the whole article, but I find it curious that in the entire excerpt posted, the authors chose to avoid revealing even the slightest bit of information about these immigrants, with which I’ve might assess their ability to assimilate and contribute to the economy or culture, vs being a burden or disrupting force.
Guess what globalists. NOBODY likes it when their country sees a sudden flood of foreigners especially if those foreigners are from one particular source.
What the South Africans are doing now the Nigerians did just a year or two ago.....ie mass deporting/driving out the hordes of foreigners who flocked in.
The only difference is when Africans do it White Leftists in the West don’t scream and cry about how “racist” they are for doing so.
They must have seen “Citizen Vigilanty” and taken it to heart.
In Los Angeles, these are known as demonicRAT voters.
Every body just enjoy a Coke and let us all sing we are the world.
I just love these stories of paradise lost and found that are foisted upon us with twists of twist.
So South Africa now has ‘Apartheid’ or rather ‘Heidapart’ ....... how droll .... South Africans doing the doings.
Just remember they was kings and sh)* and Ejip-titons princess tooooo.
LOL!
Many in the park say they fear a repeat of anti-foreigner riots that killed 62 people in 2008 and flared again in 2015 and 2019.
..........
But immigration has also long been blamed by many poor South Africans for the country’s high unemployment rate – around a third are currently without jobs.
Many also blame immigration for crime and the country’s failing public services.
.........
South Africa’s Human Sciences Research Council recently reported polling showed the public “has become considerably more antagonistic towards immigrants over the last five years”.
......
By the end of the week, the makeshift camp around Sherwood Hall had begun to look like a detention centre as police set up a razor wire cordon and patrolled with shotguns.
Officials said those inside had to be processed by having their identities checked and being put before a court, before they were taken by bus back to Malawi.
.......
“Every country prioritises its citizens and we want the South African government to do the same.”
Thanks
I see no information on SA welfare payments. The removal of money for ngo might be a factor and do they have the fraud issues? but there is a history back to 2008.
This appears to be driven more by citizen which is interesting. the riots
wonder if SA has sanctuary cities?
Africa is extremely tribal, more that our “use to be melting pot”.
managing for what you don’t want never leads you anywhere. It is like the french revolution, after that there was more they didn’t want.
Our American revolution was for clear goals.
Being anti immigrant wont lead us any where. I hope we can redirect the message to wanting good citizen.
Personally, after we get rid of of the problem immigrant, I think Trump will do this.
What we want is good citizens.
Pro 11:11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.
Same everywhere.
The world is becoming fatigued by this.
There were reasons for the original isolation.
Worst mistake made by humans since Eve bit the apple.
