Government says it has noted growing concerns among migrant communities regarding their safety amid planned protest actions on June 30.
The unofficial deadline was set by various groups for undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country.
Government spokesperson William Baloyi says police have so far opened 10 cases of intimidation and incitement of violence directed at foreign nationals.
The Federation of Unions of South Africa is calling on employers to prioritise the protection of workers tomorrow, as various groups plan to protest against undocumented foreign nationals.
Meanwhile, Government is encouraging migrants who feel threatened or unsafe to urgently contact law enforcement and government agencies.

The illegal foreigners were told to self deport from January 2026 but didn't take us serious. Other countries give 10 days notice, we were kind to give 6months
Malema will save the day, he will send his thugs to loot and burn and draw attention away from the immigrants and get the lime light back on himself.Seems that SAPS, the ANC crime alliance partners will assist the EFF in their efforts.
Like i said if the government actually governed things like….lets say the borders perhaps, then these people would not have to govern it themselves.
What safety because if you stay in your camps as you are supposed whilst the authorities are preparing your paperwork to go to your countries of origin. Stop
Let's talk about the incompetence of those working in offices not doing their work accepting bribes and poor systems and slow processes that is causing most foreigners to be undocumented. I believe some want to be here legally but our country is not making it easy for them
Let's stop blame others for our own social ills. Blame government for everything no one is ready to take accountability for anything.
There are some who made poor choices for their lives and seeing the consequences of their life choices instead of accepting responsibility and change we look for someone to blame😡
Naaaah😯😯😯😯😯😯
You are rasist to your own culture and inhuman
THE GOVENMENT ARE NOT CAPABLE TO DO ANTHING.THERE ARE NO LAW IN SOUTH AFRICA LEFT AFTER 1994 ONLY FRAUD
We're a constitutional republic, we're not a democracy
The illegal immigrants and legal immigrants are all being used as scape goats for the incompetence of government officials.
Looks like ANC is losing 50% of their voter base. Open borders to keep them in power – strategy has run dry.
Do the black residents who are protesting not have the courage to also insist on the deportation of illegal Chinese , white , muslim etc OR are they now the racists of South Africa. They were quick to run to other African countries when they were terrorists , and were allowed to stay.
How many of these protesters are legal themselves? And even if you deport a few people, what's keeping them from coming back the following week? a 2ft tall border?
They are not concerned enough if they are still here
Black apartheid.
The South African government, Immigration and police are complicit in making this situation worse and creating a humanitarian crisis. Immigration and police are going around to businesses with armed protestors to check on foreign work visas. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Thug criminals are already robbing foreigners. President Ramaphosa had a chance to diffuse this situation but has done nothing. He, the ANC and GNU are idiots.
Murimbwa dzevanhu ini nandina kwandoenda
Government creating a humanitarian crisis

They're NOT migrants. They're CRIMINALS who broke our laws by stealing into our country ILLEGALLY!!!!!
Why aren't government working towards stopping this crime???
