Xenophobic tensions are rising in South Africa as anti-migrant groups pressure the government to expel undocumented foreigners, issuing a deadline of 30 June for those without valid visas to leave. Hundreds of Ghanaian nationals have already departed voluntarily amid safety fears, with nearly 300 leaving last month alone. Critics warn that recurring waves of xenophobic violence are being inflamed ahead of local government elections due in November, and are calling for scrutiny of the groups and political parties allegedly funding the unrest.
