- Description
- Anti-migrant activism is gaining momentum in South Africa, with groups staging regular marches and demanding tougher action against undocumented migrants. Organizers accuse the government of failing to secure the country's borders, while critics say the campaign is increasingly affecting documented migrants as well. Among those caught up in the unrest is Princess Adjei, a woman of Ghanaian descent who was born and raised in South Africa. She says her Durban salon was destroyed during anti-migrant protests, leaving her homeless and forcing her into temporary shelter. As anti-migrant groups continue their campaign and maintain that their focus is on undocumented migrants, cases like Adjei's have raised concerns that legally documented migrants are also being swept up in the growing tensions.
