There have been months of anti-immigrant protests and tensions in South Africa.
Thousands of undocumented migrants, mostly other Africans, are desperately trying to leave the country, ahead of a June 30 deadline set by activist groups.
While President Cyril Ramaphosa has rejected the ultimatum, growing hostility toward foreigners is prompting several neighboring countries to bring their citizens home.
Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reports from Cape Town, South Africa.

Dont want to end like UK , cant blame them .
All od Africa will fight these traitors. Zulus and Xshosas are not the only tribes in South Africa
Countries are allowed to not want illegal migrants in their countries. Controlled migration is okay. Illegal is not okay. And so is forcing your culture onto the host country. You either bend to the customs of the host country or get out.
Xenophobia is racism. South African blacks are the most racists people in the world. Same thing.
What about Pakistani illegal. Stealing IDs. Marrying SA for citizenship. Paying desperate single mothers for marriages. Come on. Get those out as well.
Is the " Foreigners and illegal immigrants " only Africans in South Africa?
Nigeria sponsored black South Africans freedom from apartheid with $61B of it's oil revenue. IN ADDITION TO CIVIL SERVANTS PAYROLL TAX CALLED MANDELA TAX repatriated to South Africa on monthly basis to feed and buy medicine for your sick and starving people. Now, they denying documented history. Very UNGRATEFUL people.
Nigeria as well gave billions of financial assistance and military boots on ground to end wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone AND THOSE COUNTRIES ARE VERY GRATEFUL TILL TODAY.
Black South Africans are the reason why other African countries would not blink to help another during military conflict.
THIS IS DISCOURAGING AND SAD.
if only Europe had the same guts.
What the south African is doing very uncivilized killing innocent human being
They are responsible for their own high crime rate and economy. The government is shifting their blame to the immigrants.
SOUTHA AFRICANS ARE FORGETTING THAT OUR AFRICAN COUNTRIES HOUSED AMNY OF THEM DURING APARTHAIED BUT THIS IS HOW THEY PAY BACK. FORIEGNERS BRING JOBS AND MONEY TO SOUTH AFRICA..THERE INVESTORS THERE, AND ALSO STUDENTA AT UNIVERSITIES. SOUTH AFRICA IS GOING TO SUFFER NOT THE FORIGNERS, HOW DO U HATE A FELLOW BLACK?
