‘Leave by June 30’: South Africa’s migrants face rising fear

African migrants in South Africa say their legal status offers little protection as a wave of anti-immigrant rallies spreads fear across the country. Marches calling for illegal immigrants to leave have reignited long-held xenophobic sentiment, according to migrants who report living in “extreme fear.” A campaign group called March & March, which is leading the protests, has given people living in the country illegally until 30 June to leave. The group has not specified what will happen to those who do not comply.
