South Africa’s President Warns Groups: No ‘Deadline’ for Immigrants
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has warned anti-immigration groups not to enforce a self-imposed “June 30 deadline” for illegal migrants to leave the country. The president said the groups have no legal authority to demand that migrants depart by that date. He urged citizens to reject such actions, which he called unlawful and divisive. The warning comes amid rising tensions over immigration in South Africa, where some groups blame foreign nationals for crime and unemployment. Ramaphosa’s statement aims to prevent violence and uphold the rule of law.
