As per reports, anti-immigration activist groups, including the “March and March” movement, issued an ultimatum demanding that all undocumented migrants and refugees leave South Africa by 30 September.
• Reports suggest that protest leaders threatened to mobilize large-scale nationwide demonstrations, targeting Department of Home Affairs offices, commercial hubs, and foreign-owned businesses if government authorities fail to act on their demands.
• Reports indicate that recent demonstrations surrounding the Home Affairs office in Durban involved high-density activist gatherings, prompting civil rights organizations and peace advocates to express concerns regarding potential escalation and xenophobic harassment.
• Reports indicate that primary protest rallies, heightened community mobilization, and potential security enforcement actions surrounding the deadline are scheduled to remain active from 0600 hours local time (0400 hours UTC) until 2359 hours local time (2159 hours UTC) on Wednesday (30 September).
