Anti-immigrant protesters in South Africa marched through the streets on Tuesday. The demonstrations marked an unofficial deadline set by citizen-led groups for undocumented foreigners to leave the country. The groups had warned that anyone without proper documents should depart by June 30. No official government order backed the deadline. The protests remain peaceful as of now, but tensions are high in several neighborhoods.
