‘No place for violence,’ Ramaphosa says as 30 June protests loom

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged for peace as protests are expected on June 30, following a deadline set by March and March for undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country. The impending demonstrations have heightened tensions, with concerns about potential violence. Ramaphosa's call for calm underscores the government's effort to manage the situation without escalating unrest, highlighting the broader implications for national security and social cohesion. This move also reflects the government's stance on immigration amid growing xenophobia and calls for stricter border controls.
