They come after a weeks-long campaign against foreigners that has seen at least four killed and tens of thousands fleeing for safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">In the coastal city of Durban, where violence had been expected, the streets were unusually quiet and shops were shuttered as tension hung thick in the air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Several thousand protesters in Zulu attire marched through the city centre, brandishing sticks and clubs and calling out \u201c<em>Abahambe!<\/em>\u201d (\u201cThey must go!\u201d in isiZulu, the most widely spoken language in the country), a phrase that has become the movement\u2019s rallying cry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Campaign groups behind the protests have given undocumented immigrants an arbitrary \u201cdeadline\u201d of 30 June to leave the country, with many fearing the marches could descend into violence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"63993c31-3b3a-417b-baf4-3c6f2221eabf\" data-spacefinder-role=\"showcase\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-46nkfa\">\n<div id=\"img-2\" class=\"dcr-1t7hdmw\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Malawian migrants in Durban wait to board buses at a makeshift displacement camp.\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/e31f814ef1687c9640bb52b2504d98690e711c1e\/0_0_7472_4981\/master\/7472.jpg?width=445&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"445\" height=\"296.6468147751606\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-up96pv\"><a href=\"#img-2\" data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" class=\"open-lightbox dcr-zwabc0\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><button data-element-id=\"63993c31-3b3a-417b-baf4-3c6f2221eabf\" type=\"button\" class=\"open-lightbox dcr-1bitgpn\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><span class=\"dcr-1shbixy\">View image in fullscreen<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-1ci1e33\"><span class=\"dcr-vyhg7z\"><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1cipnsy\">Malawian migrants in Durban wait to board buses at a makeshift displacement camp.<\/span> Photograph: Tommy Trenchard\/The Guardian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">In the days leading up to the deadline, thousands of people have fled their homes in fear, sleeping rough on pavements, in open fields and in makeshift camps, in the hope of being repatriated to their home countries. Several African governments have organised buses or planes to bring their citizens home, with police saying more than 25,000 have been repatriated so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">In the city of Pietermaritzburg, 50 miles from Durban, where a 29-year-old Malawian national was killed by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/6\/23\/south-african-police-investigate-murder-amid-rise-in-anti-migrant-attacks\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">mob after a protest on 19 June<\/a>, hundreds of families camped for days outside an abandoned building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">On the eve of the 30 June protests, as authorities raced to send home as many as possible, a queue snaked through the overgrown garden.

Many \u2013 including people with legal documentation \u2013 said they had been evicted by landlords who feared retaliation for renting to immigrants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">On 27 June, Mpingashato was threatened while waiting for a shared taxi in the township where she had lived for 17 years. \u201cHe said he would burn my house and kill my family,\u201d she said. \u201cNow I have no plan; I\u2019m just going home to be safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Her 17-year-old son had been forced to leave the only home he had ever known, as well as many South African friends, she said. \u201cWhen he saw the camp, he told me: \u2018Actually, they never loved us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Many in South Africa blame immigrants from elsewhere on the continent for the country\u2019s high unemployment rate and crime levels. \u201cXenophobia and Afrophobia \u2026 emerge where economic insecurity, high unemployment, inequality, weak governance and poor migration management intersect,\u201d says Philile Ntuli from the South African Human Rights Commission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The country, which is home to about 2.4 million foreigners (documented and undocumented) according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2026\/jun\/08\/extreme-fear-among-immigrants-as-backlash-sweeps-south-africa\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">2022 census data<\/a>, has a long history of anti-immigrant violence. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-safrica-violence-deaths\/south-africa-violence-toll-rises-to-62-idUSL31541720080531\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Xenophobic riots in 2008<\/a> killed 62 people and displaced more than 150,000. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2015\/apr\/14\/south-africa-xenophobic-violence-outbreak\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Another wave of attacks in 2015<\/a> left at least five people dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">In response to the latest tensions, the government has sought to ease public anger by intensifying its crackdown on undocumented immigration.
