Thousands marched, at least four were killed, and vigilante groups set a deadline for undocumented foreign nationals to leave; separate reports detail deaths, displacement and fear among migrants.

Thousands of anti‑foreigner protesters marched in cities across South Africa on Tuesday demanding the removal of undocumented foreign nationals. At least four people were killed during the anti‑immigrant campaign, and vigilante groups went door‑to‑door demanding undocumented foreign nationals leave South Africa, setting a deadline for them to depart.

France24 reported that two Mozambican nationals were killed in Mossel Bay during xenophobic attacks. AllAfrica.com reported that families were forced to flee their homes in Kleinmond and Gansbaai in the Overberg region because of anti‑immigration protests. France24 also reported that hundreds of people were displaced and dozens of homes were torched in informal settlements in Mossel Bay as part of the xenophobic violence. Al Jazeera reported that migrants say they are living in fear after a group gave people living illegally in South Africa a deadline to leave.
