Anti-immigrant protests surge in South Africa before deadline
Police and security forces have been deployed in South Africa. This follows an increase in anti-immigrant protests, which are intensifying ahead of an unofficial June 30 deadline for undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country. Shops in Johannesburg remained closed, and many foreigners have already departed due to fears that the demonstrations could turn violent. A protester commented, "Jobs are being taken by illegal foreigners. It's not fair."
