South Africa Boosts Security Ahead of Anti-Migrant Deadline
South African officials are ramping up security preparations in anticipation of a June 30 deadline. This date was established by groups protesting against migrants, who are demanding that foreigners without legal documentation exit the country.
In Durban, Metro Police have confirmed that a march opposing illegal immigration is scheduled to take place on June 30.
These tensions emerge against a backdrop of a national unemployment rate exceeding 30 percent and a documented history of violence targeting foreign nationals.
