Concern grows over rising vigilante violence targeting South Africa's migrants

from The World: Latest Stories · host Joyce Hackel

Anti-immigration groups in South Africa are stepping up vigilante-style actions aimed at pressuring migrants to leave the country. Some activists have issued a June 30 ultimatum for undocumented migrants to depart, a deadline that has no legal standing. Sharon Ekambaram, the head of the Refugee and Migrant Rights Program at Lawyers for Human Rights in Pretoria describes the implications to The World’s Host Carolyn Beeler.
