Protesters against illegal immigration in South Africa call for more deportations
Hundreds of people have held a demonstration against illegal immigration in the South African city of Durban. The protesters on Wednesday vowed to intensify their actions against what they say is the government鈥檚 failure to deal with the issue. The crowds were led by the March by March group. Some brandished traditional Zulu weapons. Police didn鈥檛 report any incidents of violence against foreigners during the protest.
A similar deadline set for June 30 sparked a mass repatriation of foreigners to their various African countries after attacks on immigrants. The governments of those nations arranged for the evacuation of their citizens. There have been diplomatic tensions between the South African government and some African nations.
