Tension is rising across South Africa as the South Africa June 30 Deadline for African migrants draws closer. Several African countries have issued safety warnings, while reports of protests and xenophobic attacks have forced some migrants to seek shelter in churches, schools, and temporary camps.

Businesses owned by African migrants have also been affected by looting, harassment, and forced closures. Anti-immigration groups continue to urge migrants to leave before the June 30 deadline, raising concerns about safety and prompting calls for peaceful and lawful solutions.
