South Africa races to ease growing tensions ahead of planned anti-immigration marches

South Africa is urgently addressing escalating tensions as it scrambles to repatriate foreign nationals before a self-imposed June 30 deadline set by groups planning anti-immigration marches. Over 15,000 Malawian nationals have already been processed for departure, with many more in temporary camps awaiting their turn. This move comes amid rising xenophobia and concerns over potential widespread unrest. The situation underscores the urgent need for effective immigration management to maintain social harmony and prevent further escalation of tensions.
