๐ South Africa โข by Kofi Asare โข Jun 07, 2026
South African President has pledged a strong crackdown on groups responsible for xenophobic violence and anti-immigrant protests across the country.
Speaking on Sunday, President Ramaphosa condemned the attacks and warned that authorities would take decisive action against individuals and groups inciting violence against foreign nationals.
The President emphasized that such actions undermine South Africa's constitutional values, threaten social cohesion, and damage the country's international reputation.
Recent anti-immigrant demonstrations and reported attacks have raised concerns among several African nations, prompting some governments, including Ghana and Malawi, to evacuate citizens who feel threatened by the unrest.
South African authorities have assured residents and foreign nationals that security agencies are monitoring the situation closely and will act against any unlawful activities aimed at targeting migrants and other vulnerable communities.
