Anti-migrant protests risk economic blowback for South Africa

South Africa is experiencing protests against migrant workers fueled by high unemployment, crime, and sluggish economic growth. While campaigners claim they're standing up for local jobs and safety, economists caution that a mass exodus of foreign workers could severely damage businesses and labor markets. This turmoil highlights a complex dilemma: addressing underlying economic issues while safeguarding the contributions of migrants who are integral to the country's workforce and economy.
