South Africa Vows Crackdown as Anti-Migrant Marches Loom

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa warned Thursday that the government will take strong action to stop any attempts to destabilize the country. His statement comes ahead of planned anti-immigrant marches next week. The marches are part of a growing wave of xenophobia, or hostility toward foreigners. Ramaphosa vowed to "crush" any disruptions during the protests. The president did not provide specific details on the government's response. However, his firm language signals a zero-tolerance approach to violence or unrest linked to the demonstrations.
